Flyers Delivered Online Through Peachjar

For Parents

Paper flyers which were formerly sent home will now be available electronically through our partnership with Peachjar.

These eflyers can be viewed in your inbox, on our smartphone apps, and on our websites by clicking on the Peachjar button on each school 's website homepage. This "green" initiative will save tons of paper and reduce copy costs by thousands of dollars. The new paperless flyering process rids backpacks of paper clutter, removes a significant administrative burden from teachers, office staff, and volunteers, and puts useful information at your fingertips every day.

Please note that paper copies of school materials may still be made available, since not everyone has access to email or the internet. Through this new communication tool, you will have access school information quickly and easily wherever you can access the internet, from your smartphone to access points such as free Wi-Fi in downtown Brevard and public computers at the Transylvania County Library.

No action is required by parents. Email addresses added to our database will receive a welcome email from the service provider (Peachjar) with a username and password. You have complete freedom to manage your account and flyer delivery preferences. You do not need to login to receive or view eflyers. To ensure smooth delivery of this communication, we suggest you add " school@peachjar.com " to your allowed email contacts. When you receive your first eflyer, we suggest you 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. Please note that non-school materials are provided as a community service and are for information purposes only. Non-school materials are neither endorsed nor sponsored by Transylvania County Schools. The district does not distribute flyers directly to students.

Once uploaded by outside providers, flyers will be automatically submitted to the district office. District staff will review the material and approve or deny on a school-by-school based on the standards below. Peachjar charges a fee to enrichment providers for this service that is typically much less than the cost to copy and deliver paper flyers to each school.

No commercial publications will be posted or distributed unless their purpose is to further a school activity, such as graduation, class pictures or class rings or to offer a pre-approved enrichment opportunity to our students.

Schools will continue providing important information, including parent letters and more, in paper form.These important notices will also be posted in the " electronic backpack, " so families can go back and find any notices that may have been misplaced by visiting Peachjar, using our smartphone apps, or through any Transylvania County Schools website.

Parent FAQ's

Why am I not receiving flyers to my inbox through Peachjar?

First, check with your school front office to make sure your email address is current in PowerSchool. If your email is current, Peachjar emails may be getting caught in spam filters on your email account. Placing @peachjar.com on your "trusted address" list may resolve this problem.

For Providers

Our district cooperates with community groups and organizations that sponsor activities of an educational/enrichment nature for students by distributing materials electronically via Peachjar. As part of our efforts to be more environmentally friendly, embrace innovative technology, and maintain fiscal responsibility, we are transitioning from paper to electronic flyer delivery.

To request flyer approval, follow the steps below. Once approved, your flyer will be emailed to parents and posted online. Paper flyers from outside organizations will no longer be sent home directly with students, but may be placed for pickup at individual schools in the front office after approval (see below). Parents will have immediate access to your information via their email and the school website. This ensures that all households where as student may reside will receive information. Plus, if a parent deletes the email, active flyers remain visible 24/7 through the Peachjar website, linked to through our school websites.
