In 2019, District 34 gained a new look, with a new brand. The District follows brand guidelines to ensure that the logo is used consistently and that all stakeholders can easily recognize communication from District 34. 

The District 34 logo, and any logos for individual schools, cannot be used by individuals or outside organizations. Affiliated organizations (PTAs and other parent organizations and community partners, in collaborative efforts) can use the logos with permission. If you have questions, please contact the Director of Communications.

In order to comply with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, websites must meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) as instituted by the World Wide Web. District 34 is committed to ensuring accessibility of its website for students, parents, and members of the community with disabilities. If you have any issues accessing information on the website, please contact the Director of Communications.

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.

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). 

Throughout the year, the communications department, as well as District and school administrators and staff take photographs, videos and voice recordings of students and staff for use on the District website, newsletters, and social media channels, as well as shared with local media outlets (both print and online). These images allow us to share the great things happening in classrooms and throughout our schools. 

In addition, the District celebrates our students’ success by sharing news of notable achievements with the community. If you do not want your child photographed or videotaped for District 34 use, or his or her name included when he or she is honored for achievement, you must submit, in writing, a signed statement that you do not grant any publication permissions to District 34. Send that letter to:

Cathy Kedjidjian
Director of Communications & Strategic Planning
Glenview School District 34
1401 Greenwood Rd.
Glenview, IL 60026

Please include your child(ren)’s name(s), as well as their school and grade level.

If you have questions, or if you'd like a copy of any photo or video that includes your child, please contact Cathy at ckedjidjian@glenview34.org or call (847) 486-7861.
