Virtual Bulletin Board Guidelines

This service is provided as a courtesy to our school community. All materials are reviewed by the Communications Department and must meet the following expectations.

Criteria for Approval

• The activity or event must be an appropriate educational or enrichment activity geared to students in Pre-K through 8th grade. 
• The organization offering the program, event or activity must be located within District 47 boundaries or in a neighboring community.
• The flyer must provide the organization’s name and contact information, as well as the targeted age group for the event or activity.
• Fliers/information may not include any verbiage regarding alcohol, tobacco, drugs or similar products.

• Flyers should not be scanned documents nor should they contain embedded hyperlinks. 

• A maximum of 2 flyers may be uploaded per month and posted for 30 days on the website.

• Board policy prohibits the distribution to students of campaign materials endorsing political candidates, parties or issues in upcoming local, state or federal elections. This includes events sponsored by candidates running for election. Legislator-sponsored event fliers will be approved when the legislator is not running for office.
