Community Opportunities - Flyers

USD 450 permits various organizations to distribute flyers on a nondiscriminatory basis regarding matters of potential interest to students and parents. USD 450 neither sponsors nor endorses any organization or activity represented in such flyers, and any particular activity, content, or viewpoint set forth in any flyer is solely that of the organization shown. USD 450 may post information about school-related organizations, teams, and community events or fundraisers that may be of interest to students and families outside the group or building.

If you are a business or organization that would like to publish your flyer, please review our Flyer Procedure and Guidelines and contact Tiffanie Kinsch at kinscht@usd450.net.
