Distribution of e-flyers
We are excited to share information about our partnership with Peachjar to help us unite schools, parents, and communities in our collective mission to elevate student outcomes! Peachjar’s platform streamlines school-to-home communication by distributing valuable school and community resources directly to families as digital flyers. By enabling our district to go paperless, Peachjar helps us save thousands of trees each year.
For W68 families
Woodridge School District 68 delivers school information and approved flyers from community organizations electronically. School-approved eflyers will be emailed directly to you. Additionally, you can view these eflyers by clicking the Peachjar button on your school’s website and the district app.
This green initiative saves our schools tons of paper and reduces copy costs by thousands of dollars. On top of that, posting school flyers in this electronic backpack removes a significant administrative burden from teachers, office staff, and volunteers.
Current Parents
If we have your email address on file, then no action is required on your part. If your child has moved to a new school in the district, you will receive eflyers from the new school. If you have not provided your email address, please do so to avoid missing important information. Delivery changes can be made in the 'Notification Preferences' section of your user account.
New Parents
If we have your email address, then no action is required on your part. You will receive a welcome email from our service provider (Peachjar) that includes a username and password if you do not already currently have an account. This is provided to give you the opportunity to manage your account and flyer delivery preferences. You do not need to log in to receive or view school eflyers. If you have not provided your email address, please do so to avoid missing important information.
To ensure smooth delivery of this communication, we suggest you add “school@peachjar.com” to your email contacts. When you receive your first eflyer, be sure to click “always display images.”
Troubleshooting Tips
- Please log in to your account and click Notification Preferences to be sure you are not set to 'Unsubscribe'
- Ensure that your settings are set to receive flyers 'Daily'
- Add the email address school@peachjar.com to your email contacts to be sure our emails are not being marked as spam.
This system is used exclusively for distribution of district- and school-approved flyers. Your email address will not be shared or used for any other purpose. Thank you for supporting our efforts to ensure parents are well informed about school programs, activities, and events.
Marketing to families
Woodridge 68 wants families to know about district-approved community programs and resources offered by organizations like yours! The paper flyers we used to send home are now only sent electronically. This green initiative saves loads of paper each year. Additionally, paperless delivery of school flyers removes a significant administrative burden from teachers and office staff.
Peachjar manages this service on behalf of our schools using the latest electronic communication technology. Once your flyer is posted to a school's Peachjar site, parents can view your flyer online on the school website and app. Additionally, your flyer will be delivered via e-mail to all parents visually. There are many additional benefits to using Peachjar—clickable buttons that take parents directly to your website, flyer performance reports, and not to mention the time saved driving school to school!

Peachjar charges a fee for this service, which is typically much less than the cost to copy and deliver paper flyers. Peachjar's Community Free Flyer Program covers the fees for one Community Free flyer per 28 days for organizations promoting a charitable free program, service, or resource where children are the direct beneficiary.
