Delivery News

Normally, newspapers are delivered to the front of the school, unless you've requested an alternate spot. New NIE teachers should notify their school custodians of their deliveries. Papers will come in two parts: Fronts (Sections A, B, C, D) and Pre-prints (Classified, L&A, NIE Supplements), with a name label, packaged in a plastic bag. For delivery problems, please call (817) 215-2208 prior to 10 a.m. and the Star-Telegram delivery folks will deliver your missing papers as soon as possible. Thank you!
