How are the P&G School Programs developed?
We develop our programs with the assistance of an advisory panel made up of subject matter experts. Our advisors serve as individuals, not as representatives of their respective organizations.

Who can order?
P&G School Programs are for teachers or school employees of public or private schools. Specific programs are designed for specific grades, and we request that schools only order for a single grade, even if they teach in a different grade than we specify. Always® Changing Program is designed for 5th grade girls and boys. The Puffs and Nutrition programs do not have any components that can be ordered, as they are online only.
Are there any additional samples available for schools over and above the number of students the school has enrolled?
Not at this time. We wish we could provide additional samples to schools but we believe our current system of distribution is generous, and we want to be able to offer our products to as many schools as possible.
When should I order for next year?
That's strictly up to you. We recommend you order your school program online no later than August of each year for the upcoming school year. We ship materials while supplies last.
Do schools remain enrolled in the program from year to year?
No. Schools must order new materials every year. This way, we can send the right amount for current enrollments and make sure materials are sent to educators who want them.
Can I receive samples or a preview kit, ASAP?
Although programs change each year, the main elements can be viewed online. We do not ship samples at the time they are requested. Samples will ship at the time that the programs ship for the next scheduled year, and will continue shipping until supplies are depleted (Always Changing ships between September and December).
Can you provide enough samples for more than one grade level?
We wish we could, but in order to make our programs broadly available, we can only provide enough materials for one grade level.
Can you send materials for a special event (e.g., health fair, summer camp, etc.)?
We wish we could help out with these types of requests but since we get so many, we focus on giving at the national level by donating to America's Second Harvest®, a National Food Bank Network. Additionally, these programs are not funded to reach additional audiences other than elementary schools.
Does P&G ship materials to home schools?
Samples are not provided to home schools. All materials can be viewed online.
Can I make a copy of the video?
You may not copy the video due to copyright laws. However, all materials can be viewed online.
Can I have materials sent to my home?
We ship materials to schools only.
Can I place an order for multiple schools?
If you have the PIN# for several schools you may place multiple orders. If you do not have the PIN# you will not be able to place orders via the Web site for multiple schools. Please leave your information on the contact page and we will contact you about how to receive multiple orders without the PIN#'s.
Why did a teacher in my building receive his order and I did not receive mine?
We ship only once to each school; we ask that one teacher per school order for the entire school. When more than one teacher per school orders, we consolidate quantities and the last person who places an order for a school is the name the order is shipped under. Therefore, you should check with the person who received the order because they most likely have the entire school's order.
