Welcome to Paperless Flyers
CUSD uses ParentSquare to share district-approved information with families, via our Community Connections platform. The Community Connections flyers feature a variety of community events, athletics, clubs, and enrichment programs available to our students and families. This initiative aims to streamline communication and provide you with a convenient way to explore activities that can enrich your child's educational journey, while saving paper and reducing costs. Paper flyers will no longer be distributed.
Watch for Community Connections to arrive on Friday evenings.
Flyer Distribution Guidelines and Requirements
It is our district’s policy to cooperate in publicizing community services, special events, and other activities of interest to our students and their parents. In an effort to continue providing this service to organizations, the following guidelines and requirements have been established and will be strictly enforced. All flyers will be distributed electronically only.
Proposed flyers must be submitted using the “Request for Flyer Distribution Approval” form for pre-approval to the Castaic Union School District, 28131 Livingston Avenue, Valencia, CA 91355, or emailed to [email protected].
District approval in writing is required prior to distribution. Only after this approval is received will the requesting organization be provided with a confirmation email.
All non-profit community groups that wish to send flyers electronically, must comply with the following guidelines and requirements:
1) All flyers and materials will be distributed one time per month. There are no exceptions to the following requirements:
- All requests for flyer approvals and a copy of proposed flyers must be submitted to the District Office at least two weeks prior to the date of distribution.
