Limitless School Distribution
Recent changes in flyer distribution across our school system have resulted in substantial gains for staff and volunteers.
Key benefits include less frustration for staff uploaders, who no longer have to do multiple uploads for flyers with different distributions or those that need support for more than one language. As a result, the amount of school content available to parents has increased slightly.
The ability for employees and volunteers to publish flyers for longer than 28 days and distribute them weekly instead of just monthly is one of the important factors that has enabled these improvements.
You can add as many PDF pages as can fit in a 50 MB file, instead of being limited to 4.
Note: It's important to remember that these features are only for the benefit of staff and volunteers, not organizations. They help them interact more effectively with parents and the school community.
