Virtual Backpack

The Lemont-Bromberek CSD113A School District has launched a new “green” approach to distributing information to students from non-profit organizations, intergovernmental agencies, and business partners, for which it grants approval. Rather than sending home approved flyers we will now be posting such information on a Virtual Backpack webpage throughout the school year for all to see. It is estimated that this will collectively save school staff many  hours of sorting and handling these flyers, as well as reduce the amount of paper being distributed saving our natural resources.

The school district and its schools will continue to send home information for parents and students in students’ backpacks. Teachers will send home assignments and materials as normal, so be sure to continue to check your child’s backpack frequently for school and classroom news and homework/grading.

  • Those wishing to submit a flyer to be posted on this Virtual Backpack site must do so by sending an e-mail to the district providing the requested information and attaching a PDF of the requested posting. This should be done at least 5 days in advance of the desired posting date.

    Approved postings will be updated on a weekly basis.

    Only non-profit organizations, governments, and entities with inter-governmental agreements with the district will be allowed to have materials posted on the Virtual Backpack site. Distribution of materials for commercial businesses or organizations not involved as school/district Business Partners will not be permitted.

    All activities or information must be appropriate for students. Activities should relate to a school function, event or purpose, or relate to an agency that offers widely appealing recreational program options for students.

    Application should be made five days prior to the distribution date and one electronic copy of the proposed flyer must accompany the request for distribution.

    Materials are posted for informational purpose only. Posting does not imply district endorsement of them.
