Flyer Distribution Guidelines

Roanoke City Public Schools will on occasion grant permission for flyers/materials to be distributed by community and/or governmental organizations. Only those flyers that make students and families aware of activities related to the educational mission of the division will be approved.

Flyer distribution is governed by two School Board Policies:
1. Policy KF - Distribution of Information/Materials
2. Policy KGA - Sales and Solicitations in Schools 

To submit a flyer to be considered for distribution to students, families, or staff of Roanoke City Public Schools, please:

1. Create a flyer that includes the School Board required disclaimer: These materials and the activity described herein are not sponsored or endorsed by the Roanoke City School Board.
2. Submit a request for approval to distribute using the form below.

The Communications & Marketing Department will provide approval, an approved number of copies to print, and next steps.

Please note:

• RCPS is not responsible for the printing of flyers.
• RCPS will not distribute flyers electronically to students or families.
• Organizations may not drop off materials directly to schools. All materials must be provided to the Communications and Marketing Department for distribution..
• Flyers will not be distributed during SOL testing or during the first two weeks of school.
