Lake Washington School District (LWSD) recognizes the important role that nonprofit organizations play in providing educational and cultural programs for district students in non-school hours. As part of our efforts to continue to be environmentally friendly, embrace innovative technology, and maintain fiscal responsibility, we have contracted with an eflyer distribution service provider called Peachjar.
LWSD allows non-profit, charitable and civic organizations to distribute information to students and families through the Peachjar system. Upon approval, flyers are emailed directly to parents. All materials must be approved by the district. Materials from for-profit companies do not qualify.
PTSAs, Booster clubs, ASBs or other organizations that exist solely because the school or district does can also submit flyers for distribution through Peachjar. Please refer to the Flyer Guidelines and Requirements for PTSAs, ASBs & Booster Clubs for more details. Flyers should be sent, in a pdf format, to either the school Peachjar uploader or to Chris Robison (crobison@lwsd.org) depending on the target audience, along with the Flyer Submission Form for PTSAs & Booster Clubs.
Please note: Flyers may only appear on Peachjar for a maximum of 60 days.
Peachjar charges a fee for this service. The cost is typically much less than the cost to copy and deliver paper flyers to each school. Peachjar will waive its service fees for local community organizations posting to LWSD schools when promoting a free event or activity that does not entice participants to join a fee-based program, or purchase products or services. To receive the waived service fees a community organization must contact Peachjar to make the request (858-997-2117 ex 130).
Schools may accept a limited quantity of paper copies of the approved flyer to make available at the school itself, usually in or near the school office. Please contact Chris Robison for details on the number of paper copies of approved flyers that can be dropped off in each school office. It is the responsibility of the nonprofit organization to provide the copies to the school.
Approvals of poster requests are handled by the building administrator for each school. Posters must meet the same criteria as flyers to be eligible for school/community bulletin boards.
LWSD does not approve promotional materials targeted at teachers or other staff members. Decisions about what can be distributed or placed in school staff lounges is determined by the building administrator at each location. Teachers and staff members cannot distribute promotional materials directly to students.
