Adding the address of your event

When you enter your event's physical address in the 'Set Flyer Details' section, it will be displayed with a 'flag' on the map, highlighting both the location of the event and surrounding schools. The search function is limited to the area of this 'flag' to help you find schools close to your event. 

Select all of the schools to which you would like to distribute the flyer.



Select 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.

Staff only

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. 

Previously distributed to select schools 

Select a set of schools they have previously submitted to when they have more than one submission in our system. 

A menu of up to 10 previously submitted audience options will appear when the user is selecting their audience. Upon choosing the previous audience, the map area will load with the previous audience selected for the user. 

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. 


Flyer Approval Guidelines

Once you select all the schools you would like to distribute. Review the following flyer approval guidelines to ensure your flyer meets the district requirements for the best chance of approval.
