Peachjar Community Flyers

In accordance with Board Policy 8:25 and our mission of empowering all students, District 47 is committed to working with community groups and organizations that provide education and/or enrichment opportunities for students and families. As part of our efforts to be environmentally conscious, embrace innovative technology, and maintain fiscal responsibility, the District no longer distributes paper flyers to students and has instead transitioned to electronic flyer delivery through Peachjar.

District 47 Peachjar Eflyers

Peachjar sends full-color, ADA-compatible and interactive digital flyers twice monthly (on the 15th and 30th of each month) via email to parents. Parents can view the electronic flyers from their smart phone or computer and click to register their children for youth sports, enrichment programs, community events, and more. Additionally, flyers are posted on the District 47 and school websites as well as on the District 47 mobile app. Participating organizations will be able to target specific schools for flyer distribution and track flyer analytics to monitor marketing efforts.
Note: Flyers posted are the responsibility of the organization represented. Distribution is for the convenience of students and families and does not imply endorsement by Crystal Lake Elementary District 47. To learn more about Peachjar and District 47's flyer guidelines, click the links below.

IMPORTANT: Flyers must be uploaded for approval at least 5 business days prior to distribution dates (15th and 30th of each month). When prompted to select “distribution target date,” select either the 15th or 30th, whichever date is closer to the date of uploading. Select “1” under Distributions. Leave the “Post Expiration Date” as is. Failure to do this will result in the flyer being denied and sent back.

FAQ for D47 Parents/Guardians

What is Peachjar?

How does Peachjar work?

Twice monthly, Peachjar sends District 47 parents an email that displays multiple full-color flyers from the school and community. Peachjar also places the flyers on the District 47 website and all school websites as well as the D47 mobile app. Flyers are mobile-friendly, ADA-compatible and interactive with “call-to-action” buttons so parents can register their child for a program or activity with the click of a button.

Do I need to set up a Peachjar account in order to receive emails?

No. District 47 parents are automatically enrolled in Peachjar. Upon launch of the new program, D47 parents will receive a welcome email from Peachjar that includes a username and password. While it is not necessary to log in to Peachjar to receive or view the digital flyers, setting up an account will allow parents to customize and/or change account preferences.

Note: To ensure smooth delivery of the eblasts, Peachjar suggests adding “school@peachjar.com” to email contacts. Upon receipt of the first digital flyer, click “always display images.”

Will my email address be shared with anyone other than Peachjar?

Peachjar does not collect or access any personally identifiable student information, as defined under FERPA. Specifically, Peachjar only accesses parent email addresses and the associated school, which is categorized as directory information. Peachjar will not share, sell, or otherwise disclose user email addresses or any other confidential information to any third party where not required by law. Peachjar uses industry standard security safeguards to protect personal information against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.

What is the cost to advertise with Peachjar?

Does it cost anything to promote a free event?

Peachjar has a “free for free” program designed to allow organizations to post flyers promoting free events without charge. To qualify for a free posting, an event or program must be completely free, with no encouragement of future fees and where no exchange of money takes place between parents and the host organization. If you believe your event qualifies for this program, please contact Peachjar at support@peachjar.com or call 858-997-2117, option 2, as all such requests must be filed with and approved by Peachjar. At that point, Peachjar will send out a questionnaire to the host organization. If the submitted questionnaire meets the guidelines for the “free for free” program, the flyer can then be uploaded to the system. Free postings are limited to once every 30 days and for up to 25 schools.
