Adding the address of your event: 

  • In "Set Flyer Details," you can include the address of the event in the flyer; this will display on the map a "flag" of your event and all the nearby schools.
  • You won’t be able to search outside the area of the "flag."  This is to help you find the schools near your event.
  • Click on all the schools to which you want to distribute the flyer.

Pick Audience

Parents (including staff from specific schools)

Flyers distributed to a school’s parents are also distributed to staff and volunteers who are "following" that school. Each staff member and volunteer can change their preference for following the school(s) they are associated with in their account information.

Alternatively, flyers can be distributed to all of the school district’s staff and volunteers or to the staff and volunteers at selected school sites by picking the "staff" option. The flyer will be distributed to both parents and staff at the schools selected above. The staff of the school are by default  following their school. 

Grades 

Quickly select a set of schools by specifying the schools’ grade range. Selecting a set of schools by specifying the schools’ grade range results in flyers being distributed to all parents subscribed to each relevant school. For example, if you limit the schools' grade range to 3-5, all parents who subscribe to schools with 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade will receive the flyer. 

Staff Only

Flyers will be distributed to staff only.  From the list, you can choose which school staff members to send the flyer to.

Switching Audience

If you switch the type of audience when one or more schools are selected, you will be notified that all current school selections will be discarded upon switching audience type.
