In Every Elementary Backpack
The Exclusive Magazine of St. Johns County Schools
We believe that when you educate a parent, you enrich a child. St. Johns Parent Magazine exists to connect parents with the local programs, professionals, and resources that help St. Johns County children thrive, from mental health, education enrichment to healthcare and entertainment.
If your business provides solutions for local families, solve their “who to turn to” problem first by advertising so they can find you. Each issue is distributed directly through St. Johns County elementary and K-8 schools, giving families a tangible, offline, trustworthy resource that reminds them what’s real, what’s local, and what’s good.
Reach Families.
Fuel Connection.
Technology has made everything in life easier, except parenting. In a world where families are more “connected” than ever, many parents still feel isolated, overwhelmed, and unaware of the help available around them. The algorithms that shape their online world often limit what they see, keeping them unaware of local help, hope, and opportunities right around the corner.
In Every Issue…
Every issue of St. Johns Parent serves as a reputable resource delivering stories, resources, and programs from across the community along with district wide school communication, celebrations, and student highlights that deserve to reach every student.
When you advertise in St. Johns Parent Magazine, you’re not just buying an ad, you’re fueling a mission to answer every parent’s' need, broaden the horizons of local families, support schools, and build a more connected community.
Together, we bridge school-to-home communication and community-to-family connection in one magazine.
Distributed to 28 Elementary and K-8 Schools
Reach 34,000 local students and families every issue
Printed 4 times per year: May, September, December, March
