We make it fun, educational and VERY affordable!

To sign up your classroom for NIE, simply download an order form [1],
fill out and return. One form will place your order for a classroom
subscription and any special programs that you wish to sign up for.
Once we receive your completed form, your order will be processed and
you will begin receiving papers within two business days and your
special programs will be scheduled for delivery.  And remember, as
a participating NIE teacher, you will be provided with username and
password access to all of the FREE online services that NIE
provides.   

NIE
classroom subscriptions are offered at an educational discount of 15
cents per paper Monday thru Friday, and 37.5 cents per paper for the
weekend edition. Funding for your NIE classroom subscription can come
from a variety of sources. If the provision for supplemental textbooks
is in your school/classroom
budget, imply provide us with your PO# and we can bill your school or
district accordingly. Many schools use grants, PTA funds, fundraisers
and parent resources to secure their classroom subscriptions. If all of
your funding resources have been exhausted, NIE offers classroom
subscription sponsorships. Many businesses and individuals donate to
NIE for classrooms that do not have any means of funding. If you are in
need of a classroom sponsor please indicate so in the space provided on
the order form. Sponsorships are given on a first-come first-serve
basis. (Note: It would be helpful to our fund-raisers if you know of a
business in your area that may be interested in sponsoring your
classroom, please provide us with the contact information and we will
make that call on your behalf.)

We love our NIE sponsors!

We
love our sponsors! Many educators in our 8-county service area would
not be able to take advantage of this valuable teaching resource if it
were not for the hundreds of businesses and individuals that generously
donate funds. Be sure to thank your NIE classroom sponsor! [5]
