Why does Wake County Public School System offer this digital flyer distribution service?
+
WCPSS schools have received a record amount of flyer distribution requests from local businesses and organizations. Most of these flyers provide valuable information but the cost of printing and time to approve and distribute means the community may not get this information. We are filling this void and taking the responsibility off the schools, saving our community businesses and organizations money in time and printing. Our hope is that this monthly informative email service shares local community resources and services that benefit families in Wake County and the surrounding area.
I saw an ad in a previous email, but I can't find it now. Where do I look?
+
Every month the ads are refreshed to give other businesses and organizations the opportunity to reach our families. If you know the date the email was sent, contact us and we'll give you the list of advertisers. You can reach us at lifelonglearning@wcpss.net or you can call us at 919-694-0559.
