No harm in shooting them an email on the off chance that you get it but don't get your hopes up. As far as how smaller sites review copies, that more than likely comes down to knowing the right people. GB, for example, is considered a smaller gaming site, but all the guys have been working in the game journalism industry for a looooong time and are known on a first-name basis with a lot of developers and PR people.
I'm gonna hazard a guess and say that a school newspaper doesn't have those connections. It depends on the game and the publisher, but a lot of publishers will provide review copies to smaller publications if you build up a good relationship with them. Even then, you'd be hard pressed to get review copy for a school newspaper, and I highly doubt you will be able to get early access copies of any game, you'll be far more likely to get a review copy after the game is out.
But either way, it's worth a try, so get in touch with some publishers and see what they say. I dunno, Matty. That guy we know got that thing for the project that exists With a school newspaper I imagine it would be hard because you don't have something easily accessed with proof of your competence.
The key is being respectful and not exploiting the process. If you're getting review copies just to get games early or for free odds are you'll be blacklisted quickly.
The other key seems to be having something to show of your works. Contact PR and be polite, respectful, patient, and courteous. Contact them, compliment them with the equivalent of a blow job, tell them you're a reviewer, they send game, you review.
I highly doubt they'll send you a copy of a big market game for a school newspaper, as there is really no huge upside for them. But hell its worth a shot I suppose, contact their public relations and try and be as professional as possible. For me I just contacted PR email, said who I was part of and the request was for review purposes. Limelol 3 years ago 5. If GameFAQs is to be believed, just promise to give them high ratings.

What are you going to do with your early copy of the game, TC? Because if you're not doing anything that's potentially useful for the developer, why should they give you anything? Going to do a review?
Prove it. Write some. Write until you're established. Then start asking for review codes and link your reviews. I know at least one person on this site who regularly gets review codes for games Going to stream it? Stream other games, get a following large enough so that you playing the game will draw significant attention to said game. Writing a guide about it?
Again, prove it. Write guides. Good guides. This is probably the most difficult way to get a code, since larger groups all but monopolize official guides, but asking some smaller devs - and having a "portfolio" of sorts to promote yourself - might get you codes.
