Important Delivery Information
What time are school newspapers delivered?
Newspapers are delivered to your school before 6:00 a.m. Monday through Friday only.

How do I make sure I get my papers?
Please alert your school office that you are expecting the Midland Reporter-Telegram and discuss how the papers will be picked up; either by a custodian or yourself; whether they are taken to the office or to your classroom, etc. Papers will be bundled with your name on top.

The BEST way to assure that YOU get YOUR papers is to ask your custodian (if he or she arrives before school opens) to take your papers to the school office and put them behind the counter for you. To assure that you get your full bundle of papers, get them when you first arrive at school on your delivery days.

What if I do not receive my papers?
If you do not receive newspapers on your scheduled day, call the circulation department at 432-688-2700 before 10:00 a.m. In most instances we can bring your newspapers to you –if you call before 10:00 a.m. All other NIE questions or delivery concerns should be directed to the Newspaper in Education office at 432/687-8802.

BUT, before you call about missed papers, please make sure they are not "misplaced" at your school. BEFORE calling, check all entrances to see if papers were left in the wrong spot. Possibly papers were delivered by a new or substitute carrier who is not familiar with your school. ALSO check with other teachers who receive papers to make sure someone else has not picked up your newspapers. Taking papers to a school when they have been delivered earlier is very costly and time-consuming.

What do I do with USED newspapers?
Before you toss newspapers in the recycling bin, send papers home with your students to share with their families; share newspapers with another class; save a few papers for cutting, pasting, crafting or Read & Recycle
