PRINT EDITIONS LIMIT: 30 PER WEEK
As classroom demand for Newsschool materials increases, so have the financial and environmental costs. One response is for us to reduce newsprint dependence and ask teachers to limit the number of printed newspapers to 30 per week. Your copies can be delivered on any combination of days, with no single day less than six.

Example 1:
You may select to receive 15 papers two days of the week if your class has at least 15 students.

Example 2:
You may select to receive 6 papers each day of the week if your class has at least 6 students.

Example 3:
You may select to receive 30 papers on any single day of the week if your class has at least 30 students.

eEditions - NO LIMIT: You may order one eEdition for each of your students on the days that your class does not receive printed newspapers.
