Granite School District allows distribution of printed and electronic promotional materials (flyers, posters, banners, etc.) to students and families, so long as the materials meet certain criteria:
- The material is being distributed by a government entity or government-sponsored partner; or
- The material is being distributed by a program or organization that provides development for UHSAA sanctioned programs and does not interfere or compete with school sponsored programs; or
- The material represents a free opportunity that directly benefits students and families and does not interfere or compete with school sponsored programs.
- All materials must include the logo of the sponsoring organization, as well as a clear written disclaimer that indicates the organization is not officially affiliated with the Granite School District (Ex. “__(organization)__ and ___(program)___ are not affiliated with or sponsored by Granite School District or their schools.”)
All requests for material distribution are reviewed by the District’s Communications Department, and determinations for approval or rejection are made based on District Policy.
Printed Flyers, Banners, or Posters that meet the above criteria may be distributed at no cost. Please email a copy of your material to communications@graniteschools.org for review. If approved, you will receive an Access Card via email that you must present at the school when you drop off the flyers. School principals determine how and when to distribute flyers to students.
Schools are permitted to advertise to each other within their networks. For example, Taylorsville High School can share materials that promote their school play to students and families at Taylorsville Elementary. Access cards are still necessary in these circumstances.
Digital Flyers that meet the above criteria may be distributed to parents for a small *fee, which is donated in full to the Granite Education Foundation. Granite School District has opted to distribute these flyers using an internal process as opposed to using an outside vendor to ensure that the fees collected benefit Granite students and families. Keep in mind:
- Flyers are emailed to parents on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of each month. Approved flyers are also shown on school websites for a period of 14 days.
- Approval and payment process can take up to a week.
- Payment must be made at least 7 days before you want your flyer to go live.
For full instructions about submitting digital flyers, please expand the “Digital Flyer Submission” button below.
*Government entities are exempt from this fee.
What about promotions for teachers? Granite School District does not email promotional materials to employees from outside organizations. The district has an internal webpage where vendor deals for teachers may be displayed. Please email communications@graniteschools.org to arrange this.
Schools are not a public forum for the distribution of non-school information. Except as specifically provided in our policy, companies, organizations, and individuals from outside the District may not use the schools or other District facilities for the posting or distribution of flyers, advertisements, bulletins, newspapers, posters, coupons, or any other materials.
DIGITAL FLYER SUBMISSION
Submission Process
To submit your campaign, please follow these steps:
- Submit this form separately for each flyer and for each 14-day period the flyer will be displaying on the schools’ websites. An email is sent to parents on the first and third Monday of each month containing flyers that are running on those days.
Note:- Flyers are emailed to parents on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of each month. Approved flyers are also shown on school websites for a period of 14 days.
- Approval and payment process can take up to a week.
- Payment must be made at least 7 days before you want your flyer to go live.
- Provide the final flyer (JPG, PNG, or PDF) and a thumbnail of the flyer (JPG or PNG) for digital distribution.
- The thumbnail is what will be displayed on the website and in the email. The Document is what is downloaded/opened when they click on the thumbnail.
- After your flyer is approved, you will receive an email with additional instructions. This email will include a link to a form for selecting the schools for distribution and making payment. Your flyers will not run until payment has been made and processed.
Payment breakdown:
