District 60 Virtual Backpack

Maercker School District 60 receives requests on a regular basis from various organizations to distribute informational materials to our students. Suitability and approval of such material is at the discretion of District 60 in accordance with Board of Education Policy (8:25). This school year District 60 is launching a new method of making information from community, educational, charitable and other recreational organizations available to our students and families. Rather than the countless number of flyers students carry home on a weekly basis, information will be available through our Virtual Backpack60. Families without Internet access may request such information from the individual school offices. Groups interested in submitting informational materials for posting on our Virtual Backpack60 web site must do so electronically by emailing a completed District 60 Flyer Request Form and a PDF of the flyer to Anne Nickrand ( anickrand@maercker.org ) at least ten days in advance of the desired posting date. We ask that organizations limit postings to one per month, with a two month limit for any one item. Approved postings will be updated on a weekly basis. Complete details and guidelines are provided in our DISTRIBUTION OF MATERIALS VIA VIRTUAL BACKPACK60 document.

What is a PDF?
The PDF format (Portable Document Format) is a global exchange document created by Adobe and is the most popular as well as the most reliable and recognized international standard for viewing and managing PDF documents in the world. Opening, creating, writing and printing PDF files has never been easier.
