Information to Schools

Distribution of material

We do allow non-profit and community-based organizations to distribute information to schools to let our staff and/or families know about services, events and activities (pending approval). We do not permit for-profit groups or companies to distribute information.

The process:

Note: most school communication is done electronically.

1.  Send your request to info@gscs.ca. Be sure to let us know:

• what you want distributed: newsletter announcement, electronic file, poster; flyer, etc.;
  • include electronic files (PDF) of any material.
    • for computer system security, please refrain from sending links to shared files
• your audience: Who is your message for? Teachers, parents, specific ages or grades, specific areas or schools, etc.
• how you want information distributed (electronic or hard copy).
  • Hard copies must be provided. We do not print copies for you.
• any other information that you think will assist us in our review process.

2.  After approval, we will send information to schools.

• Electronic material will be shared with schools weekly.
• Printed material can be delivered to our service and distribution centre at 1402 Fletcher Road
  • For posters, we typically distribute one per school; we have 50 schools including those outside of Saskatoon. Please specify if you want more than one per school, and clearly indicate that with your material.
  • For flyers or other printed material, you must bundle and clearly label information for each school. We will not count out certain amounts for each school.
• School administrators decide whether to share information within their school community or not.

Requests to do presentations in schools

If you submitted an application to present last year, please re-submit your application to ensure we have appropriate information to review.

All organizations/presenters must complete an application form to be reviewed for approval. Download and complete the application.

Virtual presentations will also be considered, and presenters must follow the same application process.
