PeachJar For Parents and Schools

The Merced City School District uses PeachJar to provide families with a convenient and eco-friendly way to stay informed. Traditional paper flyers sent home in student backpacks are often lost or overlooked, making digital communication a more effective option in today’s world.

Through PeachJar, parents/guardians receive approved digital flyers directly in their email inboxes and can access them anytime on all school websites. This ensures quick and easy access to important school and community information, including upcoming events, enrichment programs, and extracurricular activities. With just a click, families can sign up for opportunities that support their child’s learning and growth.
