Flyer Distribution Requests

The guidelines below must be met for flyers to be considered for distribution and sent to the building principal for initial review at least one week prior to the distribution request date.

Flyer Content

  • Includes the name and contact information of the sponsoring entity. 
     
  • If submitted from a non-district affiliated organization, approval does not imply Yellow Springs Schools' endorsement of any identified product and/or service. A disclaimer must be located at the bottom of the flyer that contains the following wording: "This material was prepared by (name of organization) and is not sponsored or endorsed by the Yellow Springs Schools."
     
  • Promotes an activity or enrichment opportunity for Yellow Springs students that supports the basic educational mission of Yellow Springs Schools and/or benefits the community in a positive manner. 
     
  • If targeted to staff, the flyer must announce instructional opportunities or promotional offers. 
     
  • Does not promote a political interest or view or a position on any issue subject to an election unless the information has been approved by the Superintendent or designee. 
     
  • Does not promote any commercial activity in which a Yellow Spring Schools employee is engaged or in which the employee or a family member of the employee has an ownership interest, unless it promotes a student enrichment opportunity. In these cases, the employee must submit the flyer like any other community organization, for approval to the building principal.
     
  • Does not violate: Board Policy 8800 (Religious Patriotic Ceremonies and Observances), Board Policy 9700 (Relations with Special Interest Groups), and Board Policy 9700.01  (Advertising & Commercial Activities)
     

Format

  • Submit in a PDF, JPG, or PNG format 8. 5" x 11" size
  • Indicate which grade levels should receive this information
  • Specify the date you would like the information to be sent
  • Information must be submitted for consideration one week prior to the distribution request.
  • If the organization's flyer is approved and the organization requests that a physical flyer be sent home with students, please call the main office to request the number of students in each class. The organization is responsible for printing, grouping, and delivering the flyers to the school.
     

School or District Flyers

A school or district may distribute a flyer referencing a commercial, for-profit organization if it represents a partnership or fundraiser with the school or an official school support group, like a school's PTO or PTA. In these cases, the flyer should be primarily about the partnership or fundraiser, as opposed to a standard commercial notice that primarily advertises the commercial business.
