District 34 values input from stakeholders, and actively seeks that input through surveys and focus groups, at Board of Education meetings, and at special programs. Community members often are invited to participate in special task force initiatives, as well as on strategic planning teams. In addition to this website, we use multiple channels and tools to connect with our community. If you have questions or suggestions, please contact the Director of Communications.

The district publishes a parent publication called "34e-news" that is sent out on the 15th of every month. Additionally, there is a Board of Education publication called "Board of Education News" that is distributed 24-48 hours after every meeting.

In accordance with Board Policy 8:25, District 34 works with community groups and organizations that provide educational, recreational and enrichment opportunities for students and families. The District offers an opportunity to make connections between organizations and families through Peachjar.

Peachjar sends full-color, ADA-compatible and interactive digital flyers directly to parents via email. Parents can view the electronic flyers from their smart phone or computer and click to register their children for youth sports, enrichment programs, community events, and more. Flyers also are posted on the D34 and school websites.

To facilitate delivery of this information, approved community organizations can send their flyers home to families digitally through Peachjar. To request flyer approval, follow the steps below.

• Visit www.peachjar.com
• Register as a Program Provider (account type)
• Upload your flyer for approval 

Your flyer will be automatically submitted to the district office for approval. Once approved, your flyer will be emailed to parents and posted on each school’s web flyerboard for your selected duration of time. Peachjar charges a fee for this service (if your program or event charges a fee to participate. The fee is typically much less than the cost to copy and deliver paper flyers to each school, or the cost of advertising. You can post free events at no cost (with some restrictions). 

District 34 uses Swift K12 to send email, text and phone messages to parents and staff. You can update your contact information in PowerSchool to ensure that you receive important notifications. Starting in the 2019-2020 school year, you will be able to use PowerSchool to select the types of messages that you receive.
