Community Events Submission
Caledonia Community Schools (CCS) accepts digital flyer submissions from nonprofit and local youth organizations for non-curricular activities that provide social, recreational, or educational value for students and are free of political undertones (see Board Policies 9700, 5722, 9700.01).
Where Community Events Appear
Approved events are posted on the district’s Community Events webpage as a brief event listing. CCS does not post or distribute submitted flyers, send paper flyers home with students, or distribute flyers directly to families.
Organizations may submit a flyer as part of their request to provide CCS with event details. Information from the flyer will be used to create a short description for the Community Events webpage.
Eligibility
We typically accept:
- Events and programs from nonprofit or local youth organizations that are open to students and/or families
- Opportunities that provide a general community benefit, including social, recreational, or educational activities
We cannot promote:
- Content with political advocacy or undertones
- Faith-based instructional programming due to the separation of church and state
- Commercial advertising or for-profit promotions
Note: Faith-based organizations are welcome to submit non-instructional, neutral community events that meet the criteria above.
How to Submit
- Use the Community Event Submission Google Form to provide your event information. You may also upload a flyer (PDF, PNG, or JPG) as a reference to help CCS create the website listing.
Timing: Please submit your information at least five business days before your desired post date. Two weeks in advance is preferred.
All submissions are reviewed before publication. CCS will determine the content and format of each website listing and reserves the right to decline, edit, or remove postings at its discretion.

Caledonia High School
Caledonia High School is looking for community members to help our seniors prepare for life after high school! While students in grades 9–11 take the PSAT, our seniors will spend the morning learning practical, real-world skills from members of our community.
Presenters will lead approximately 20-minute sessions with small groups of students and may repeat their session throughout the morning. Topics could include personal finance, insurance, car or home maintenance, professional communication, healthy relationships, legal basics, conflict resolution and more. Have another area of expertise that could benefit our seniors? We’d love to hear your idea!
Interested in presenting? Complete the form to get involved.
