Community Backpack

Welcome to Community Backpack, the central posting place for all District 181 approved fliers. Over a two-year period all of our schools have moved to electronic distribution of fliers from community groups. District 181 supports the reduction in paper use as well as the decreased volume of mail that our students carry in their backpacks.

This page brings all approved fliers into one place for easy browsing and downloading. Parents may want to bookmark the page for easy access.

In order for a flier to be posted here, it must meet the requirements defined in Board of Education Policy 8:25. The fliers must:
  • Originate from a non-profit agency or group
  • Advertise events of interest to students
  • Take place in one of our communities or an adjoining village.

All fliers must be submitted to the Office of the Superintendent for review and approval. For more information on posting a flier on the District 181 Community Backpack, please contact Jean Duggan, Assistant to the Superintendent, at (630) 887-1070 Ext. 232 or by email.
