Peachjar

 

Farmington R-7 has partnered with Peachjar to deliver school-approved fliers directly to your email inbox. Peachjar sends approved flyers directly to parents’ email inbox and posts them online on all school websites. With Peachjar, parents can easily find and view flyers, and take action immediately to sign up for activities and events. Flyers specific to individual schools are included on the individual school's website.

 

If you are an Farmington School District organization and would like to add a flier to Virtual Backpack, please email your flier to Schea Winch [email protected].  Please include ‘Virtual Backpack’ in the subject line of the email. All fliers must be saved in PDF format and cannot exceed 6 MB in file size. All fliers are subject to approval before distribution. 

 

 

PARENT INFORMATION

The Farmington R-7 School District uses an electronic flyer communication and a delivery tool called “Peachjar.” This tool allows schools and community organizations to save paper and reduce copy costs by thousands of dollars. It also reduces the number of flyers sent home in students’ backpacks. All flyers from community organizations will be posted on your school website and sent directly to your email.

To view school-approved flyers, simply click the Peachjar button on your school’s website homepage.

 

No action is required on your part. You will receive a welcome email from our service provider (Peachjar) that includes a username and password. This is provided to give you the opportunity to manage your account and flyer delivery preferences. You do not need to login to receive or view school digital flyers.

 

To ensure smooth delivery of this communication, we suggest you add [email protected] (or your district’s selected “from email address”) to your email contacts. When you receive your first e-flyer, be sure to click “always display images.” 

 

This system is used exclusively for distribution of school-approved flyers. Your email address will not be shared or used for any other purpose. There is also a button to unsubscribe from Peachjar emails. Keep in mind, if you unsubscribe, you may miss out on important information about school events and opportunities for your child.

 

Thank you for supporting our efforts to ensure parents are well-informed about school programs, activities, and events.

COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS

Many local school districts have discovered that the old practice of sending hard copy flyers home in student backpacks is not as effective in today’s digital world. The Farmington School District partnered with Peachjar to provide digital e-flyer service.

 

Peachjar provides an innovative flyer management system that sends approved flyers directly to parents’ email inboxes and posts them online on all school websites. With Peachjar, parents can easily find and view flyers and take action immediately to sign up for activities and events. 

 

If you wish to distribute flyers to parents, you may register for a Peachjar account as a “Program Provider” and upload your flyer for distribution to your desired schools. Peachjar does charge a fee to Program Providers, but it is significantly less than the cost of printing flyers for our 4,000 plus students. The cost is $25 per school, per flyer, per month with options to purchase bulk rate packages. Peachjar accepts payment with a credit card or through a PayPal account.

 

Once you create a Peachjar account, you will upload flyers for approval by the district’s Communication and Innovation department. Most importantly, an organization requesting flyer distribution must be a qualified non-profit with proof of non-profit status. The information on the flyer must serve to benefit students and must not interfere, conflict, or compete with programs offered by FSD. Use of the district’s flyer distribution system shall be under the supervision and control of the Superintendent or designees(s). The district reserves the right to deny any request.

 

We want to ensure our transition to Peachjar is as easy as possible for our community partners. Please visit https://www.peachjar.com/faqs.html to set up your Peachjar account, and learn how to upload your flyers today.
