Community Business Connection Form

Community News Folder

This forum allows local businesses and organizations to post information on programs, fundraisers, events, and other activities. The Melissa ISD website will be the primary source of information distribution for all non school-related information. Flyers will not be distributed on campuses. The information posted through the website should be youth-oriented and is subject to review and approval according to Melissa ISD Board Policy GKDA (Local). 

The information will be shared on our Community News Folder and a link to the folder is included on our weekly newsletters to remind people to visit the site. Any businesses or groups who would like to post information to the Community News Folder must complete the MISD Community Business Connection Form. Upon submission, the request will be reviewed by the Melissa ISD Communications department for approval and posted to the Community News Folder.

Non-Profit or School-Sponsored Groups: Non-profit groups and those groups who have a partnership with the school district or exist for the sole purpose of supporting Melissa ISD (i.e. City of Melissa, Booster Club, Campus PTOs, and the Melissa Education Foundation) will be allowed to post information in the Community News Folder at no cost.

For-Profit Groups: For-profit groups can pay a fee of $30 to post their advertisement in the Community News Folder. Payment must be submitted before postings are approved.

Flyer Format: The youth-oriented flyer must be a PDF or JPEG file and the dimensions must be 8.5 by 11 inches.
