Gilroy Unified School District cooperates with select community groups and nonprofit organizations that offer activities for youth in our community. GUSD distributes materials electronically via Peachjar. Fliers will be distributed through email and posted to a webpage. The following information provides instructions and protocols for using the Peachjar electronic flier system. Peachjar pricing information.
To request flier approval, follow the steps below. Once approved, your flier will be emailed to all parents and posted online.
Your flier will automatically be submitted to the District for approval. District staff will review the material and approve or deny based on the standards described below. Allow up to one week for the district office to approve or deny your flier for weekly distribution.
Organizations are subject to Peachjar’s $25 service fee when a flier is posted to promote an activity or event with a participation fee. Peachjar's service fee also applies to activities that are held without charge, but may entice participants to join a fee-based program, or purchase products or services (e.g. a soccer league that offers free clinics).
Peachjar’s service fee will be waived in Gilroy Unified School District when a local community organization is promoting a free event that does not entice participants to join a fee-based program, or purchase products or services.
