Community Engagement



Peachjar Flyers

Pasadena ISD has transitioned to digital flyers.

The Peachjar platform enables us to send important school and community-approved (after-school care options, additional learning resources, etc. ) flyers directly to parents, saving our school time, money and, paper.

PARENTS
No action is required to begin receiving this communication from your school. You don’t need to log in to receive or view school flyers, but you can log in to adjust your delivery preferences.

To ensure you don’t miss notifications, we suggest you add [email protected] to your email contacts and click “always display images” when you receive your first email.

This system is used exclusively for the distribution of school-approved flyers only. Your email address will not be shared or used for any other purpose. Thank you for supporting our efforts to ensure parents are well informed about school programs, activities, and events!

COMMUNITY 
Pasadena ISD offers  Peachjar, an innovative flyer management system that sends school-approved digital flyers directly to parents' inboxes! This “green” initiative will save our schools tons of paper and reduce costs. Now, parents can easily find, view flyers, and take action immediately to sign up for activities and events.

Peachjar charges a fee for businesses utilizing this service. Organizations may register with Peachjar as a "Program Provider" and upload flyers for distribution to the desired school(s). After your flyer has been submitted, it will be approved per campus, then emailed as a visually engaging image to all parents who have their email address on file in the district. The flyer is also posted to the campus Peachjar web page.


FLYER GUIDELINES

Pasadena ISD guidelines for flyer distribution

Pasadena ISD will consider requests to distribute information to students from organizations which provide youth-oriented activities and/or programs that support the educational enrichment of students.

The Pasadena ISD Communication Department will be responsible for reviewing and approving electronic student distribution. Flyers requested to be distributed electronically will be submitted and approved through Peachjar. For more information on Peachjar visit here.

Nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations must upload a current letter of determination from the Internal Revenue Service indicating their non-profit status into their Peachjar account. Note: Association with a non-profit organization is not sufficient to qualify a group as a non-profit organization.

All flyers distributed to Pasadena ISD students from non-district/campus departments/organizations or campuses must include the following disclaimer printed at the bottom:

"The Pasadena Independent School District has approved the distribution of this flyer as a community service. No endorsement of the products or services, however, is stated or implied."

The flyer should NOT contain advertising logos or promotions for any business/organization other than the approved organization submitting the flyer. No fundraising/event announcements are allowed from groups outside the school, unless there is a direct educational value to students and/or school and it meets District policies.

Non-school literature shall not be distributed if the materials promote classes/activities that are already offered through the District.

Flyers sent electronically: It is the responsibility of the requestor to upload their requested flyer in PDF format to the Peachjar system.

Flyers must reflect activities or programs that would interest students or be for their well being. Flyers with little or no educational value will not be approved.

If at any time it is determined that previous flyers or written materials presented for approval contained false information or did not accurately represent the intent of the program, the approval of future flyers submitted by the requesting organization will be jeopardized.

Flyers will not be approved during the summer from the last day of school until the first day of the new school year.

Pasadena ISD will not approve flyers that:

  • Are lewd, obscene, libelous, or slanderous.

  • Incite students to commit unlawful acts, violate school rules, or disrupt the orderly operation of the schools.

  • Advertisements that would prevent the district from maintaining a position of neutrality on political and religious issues or that would create an appearance of favoritism on said issues.

  • Proselytize religious beliefs.

  • Position the district on any side of a controversial issue.

  • Discriminate against, attack, or denigrate any group on account of gender, race, age, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, or other unlawful consideration.

  • Promote the use or sale of materials or services that are illegal or inconsistent with school objectives, including, but not limited to, materials or advertisements for tobacco, intoxicants, and movies, programs, or products unsuitable for children.

  • Solicit funds or services for an organization, with the exception of solicitations authorized in Board policy.
