Peachjar Digital Flyers
-
Union County Public Schools works with community organizations and groups to provide information about educational and enrichment activities for students. All flyers are being distributed electronically via Peachjar. By using this digital format, UCPS will better serve its families through innovative technology, expand efforts to be more environmentally friendly and perhaps, offer an option to community groups that saves time and money.
All external flyers will be distributed through Peachjar. Paper flyers from community groups will no longer be distributed. *Schools may continue to provide parent letters and other pertinent information in paper form.
How It Works
-
Flyer Distribution Process
The following organizations are permitted to distribute information through the flyer distribution process. Note: UCPS may ask for proof of tax-exempt non-profit status before flyers are distributed. Tax-exempt nonprofit entities organized under the provisions of Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 501 (c)(3) are eligible to submit flyers for review.
- Local, state and federal government agencies and departments
- Tax-exempt nonprofit entities offering educational, recreational, cultural or character development activities or programs to school-aged children
- Commercial or tax-exempt entities that have partnerships with UCPS
- Institutions of higher education

Please note: Peachjar charges a fee that is typically less than the cost to copy and deliver paper flyers to schools. Read more about the service fees that may apply to your organization.

Community Free Flyer Policy
Peachjar's Community Free (Free Flyer Posting Program) was created to allow local community organizations to distribute their digital flyers to nearby schools at no cost when promoting a free event or activity that does not encourage participants to join a fee-based program, or include the opportunity to purchase products, services, or food and beverages. To ensure flyers are relevant to all parents and to decrease approval requests received by districts, Peachjar limits organizations using Community Free flyer distribution to one posting every 30 days for up to 25 schools.
Local community organizations can continue to promote various free programs by consolidating their flyers into a single, multi-page flyer. Also, organizations such as cities can have multiple Community Free accounts that are department-specific, and create Community Free accounts for their local branches (e.g. libraries).
Organizations interested in requesting a Community Free account must contact Peachjar directly by phone, “Contact Us” web request, or via online chat. Upon receipt of the request, Peachjar will ask the organization to provide the following information that is used to evaluate its qualification for a Community Free account:
- To which school district(s) do you wish to distribute your flyer?
- What is the exact number of schools to which you wish to distribute your flyer?
- Are all events you distribute flyers about free, or do some encourage payment of future fees, have paid services, or include vendor participation? (Some organizations may need both a standard paid account and a Community Free account to meet their needs.)
- What is the email address associated to your Peachjar account?
- Please provide a copy of your flyer for review.
Requests for exceptions to this policy will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Peachjar reserves the exclusive right to make all determinations regarding the acceptance of each Community Free flyer posting request, and the authorization of each organization requesting a Community Free account.
