  • Flyer Approval

    Like many school districts across the nation, WCCUSD has discovered that the old practice of sending paper flyers home in student backpacks is not the best way to communicate with families in today’s digital world.  As part of our ongoing efforts to reduce cost and improve efficiency and be more environmentally-friendly, we have transitioned to a digital flyer delivery system. Effective August 13, 2019 WCCUSD will transition to a new electronic form distribution program called Peachjar. Flyers from community organizations and Parent-Teacher Organizations (PTAs)  will be distributed through email and posted on schools’ websites. 

     

    Flyer Distribution Process for Parent Groups

    Your school’s secretary, or School Community Outreach Worker (specific sites only) who are the school Peachjar Site Administrators, can upload flyers to the school’s Peachjar account for PTAs and Parent Clubs.  Please review the flyer distribution guidelines below to ensure your flyer meets WCCUSD’s distribution requirements.
