Peachjar
Our schools use Peachjar as a means of sharing information with the community. Peachjar is an “electronic backpack” system where schools post calendars, activity information from enrichment providers, and school letters. https://www.peachjar.com/index.php?a=28&b=138®ion=78035
This system is used exclusively for distribution of school-approved fliers. Your email address will not be shared or used for any other purpose.
