Guidelines for Submitting a Flyer to the Online Backpack

Please read these guidelines before submitting a flyer to the Online Backpack.

A link for the Online Backpack is sent every Friday throughout year, even in the summer, as part of the District Digest email that is sent to parents and guardians. Submit your flyer anytime during the week, and it will be posted to the Online Backpack page within 2 business days after we receive it. 
 
All schools, school-related booster groups/organizations, community partners, and local non-profit organizations can submit flyers for posting in this venue. Suitability and approval are at the discretion of Geneva School District, which reserves the right to deny requests for the posting of flyers on the Online Backpack. 

Please submit an 8.5x11' PDF.  

Flyers must communicate an event, opportunity, or information for students, parents or families. Requests from non-District affiliated groups to post flyers advertising fundraisers, such as car washes or product sales, will not be considered. Additionally, requests from for-profit entities will not be considered.

To be considered, formally recognized local non-profit organizations must verify they have received non-profit status from either the Internal Revenue Service or Illinois Department of Revenue.

Postings to the Online Backpack are updated as they are received. The Communications Office handles all requests for the posting of information on the District’s Online Backpack. To submit a flyer for consideration, please fill out the form below. Submissions in multiple languages are welcome. 

Approval does not imply the Geneva School District’s endorsement. Previous approval of a group or organization’s flyers does not automatically imply future approval.


 
NOTE: The school district is committed to ensuring that our electronic communications are accessible to everyone in our community, including individuals with disabilities. Beginning in Summer 2026, all digital content and submissions will be required to meet ADA Web Compliance standards under WCAG 2.0, helping ensure equitable access to information.

As part of this effort, PDFs must be created in an accessible format—meaning they include searchable, selectable text (not scanned images), a clear and logical reading order, proper headings and structure, descriptive alternative text for images, sufficient color contrast, and accessible links and forms.

These steps allow assistive technologies, such as screen readers, to accurately interpret content and ensure all users can engage with district information independently and effectively.
