Peachjar

As part of our district’s efforts to be more environmentally friendly, we distribute approved community flyers to parents via Peachjar. Approved flyers are emailed to parents weekly and posted on specific school websites. Flyers are delivered to all parents’ emails as an embedded image, not a link. This means parents will immediately see the flyer and be able to click through to a specific website for more information or to register for an event.

Flyers must meet criteria according to district Policy #904 and the classes, events or activities must take place within the boundaries of Eden Prairie School District. All flyers are approved by the District through the Peachjar system. With the exception of Community Education-sponsored classes and programs, no paper flyers will be distributed to students or schools.

Non-profit organizations and programs should visit www.peachjar.com for instructions on how to upload your flyer. Peachjar charges a small fee for this service. Non-school sponsored organizations must include the following disclaimer on the digital flyer: “This is not an Eden Prairie Schools sponsored program or activity and the district accepts no liability or responsibility for this program/activity.”

Once uploaded, your flier will be automatically submitted to the District Approver(s). The approvers will approve or deny the flyer based on district policy. Flyers will be emailed on a weekly basis. Flyers must be submitted for approval by Wednesday at noon. for email delivery on Wednesdays.

Priority for distribution will go as follows:

School district event/programs/activities
Foundation for Eden Prairie Schools events/programs/activities
City of Eden Prairie, Local non profit youth serving agencies with activities held within Eden Prairie School District
Local Non Profit Organizations residing in Eden Prairie with free events
All others

There will be a limit to 10 flyers per week per school. If more than 10 flyers have been submitted, those with later dates will be pushed to the following week.

School and school district-approved eflyers will keep you informed about upcoming school activities, programs, and events. And our children's backpacks will be a little bit lighter! You can find your school flyers by clicking the links below:

If your organization is interested in distributing an eflyer via Peachjar, view the flyer distribution procedures and criteria below.
