Peachjar E-Flyers

What are Peachjar E-Flyers?

** Please note guidelines 1 and 7 before getting started. 

In an effort to “go green” and to help make the process of distributing community flyers easier for our district staff, OUSD is now utilizing Peachjar, an e-flyer distribution service. Flyers that were once sent home to parents are posted around school sites are now available to parents through Peachjar on their school websites and delivered electronically to parents' personal email inboxes. This “green” initiative will help save tons of paper, reduce copy costs by thousands of dollars, and provide more direct communication for our families and outside organizations.
