Flyer Distribution Procedure:
Instructions for organizations external to the school district (does not apply to schools or PTAs).
District 51 works with non-profit 501(c)3 organizations that sponsor activities of an educational or enrichment nature for students. Notification of those activities is now distributed electronically via Peachjar.
District 51 no longer sends non-district paper flyers home with students or staff. All flyers are distributed electronically. Please submit all requests to distribute flyers to www.peachjar.com.
Posters for display at school remain at the discretion of school principals, please schedule an appointment with the principals at the schools of your choice to review and discuss your poster. Posters can only be displayed in common areas, not classrooms.
Besides lessening the paper and labor load on schools, this is a more environmentally friendly method and embraces the growing use of electronic devices and apps.

Here's how to submit your request to distribute a flyer
Please read the District 51 flyer approval requirements on the Distribution FAQ page. Once approved by District 51, your flyer will be emailed to all parents who have provided us an email address. Your flyer will also be posted online.
Getting started with Peachjar is as easy as 1, 2, 3:
- Visit www.peachjar.com.
- Register as an Enrichment Provider (under "account type"). From the main page, click on the orange "Register" button in the top right-hand corner.
- Upload your flyer for approval (directions).
Your flyer will automatically be submitted to the district office. District staff will review the material and approve or deny based on the standards described in Board policy KHB-R. Peachjar charges outside organizations a fee for this service that is typically much less than the cost to copy and deliver paper flyers to each school.
