PeachJar

Please note: Schools cannot use their own Peachjar accounts to send out flyers to families for outside organizations. Outside organizations must create their own Peachjar accounts and upload their own flyers for district approval.

Your school's Peachjar Site Administrator (your school secretary can tell you who that is) can upload flyers to the school's Peachjar account.  You can send your flyers to the Site Admin for uploading.  The Site Admin is also in charge of assigning uploading privileges to others. Please contact that individual if you would like to request uploading privileges. Once uploading privileges are assigned to you, an auto-generated email is sent to you with your username and password.

If you are a flyer uploader for your school, follow the directions below.

IMPORTANT:

1. There are specific flier requirements.  Read the NVUSD Flyer Policies
2. Visit www.peachjar.com
3. Log in.
4. Upload your flyer.  You will go through a "checkout" process, but there is no charge for flyers for schools and parent clubs.

Your flyer will then be emailed out in the next cycle, which is typically the following day.

Just like outside organizations can submit e-flyers to NVUSD for approval to distribute to any of our schools, now our schools also have the capability to distribute e-flyers to other schools in our district.  If a school or parent club is hosting an event open to the entire community, and wants other schools’ families to know about it, that school can send its e-flyer to NVUSD with a list of schools to send the flyer to.  Because of the Peachjar account structure, these flyers from other schools will appear to be coming from the recipient's school—but they have actually been sent by the district Peachjar account.

How to send flyers to other schools: 

Send email to communications@nvusd.org.

What to include:

• Flyer(s) in PDF format in English and Spanish
• Text of flyer in separate file or in body of email (for ADA compliance)
• List of schools you wish the flyer to be sent to
