At present

Please correct my sentences.

Sir I didn't receive the paper yet.

Sir I haven't received the paper yet.

I assume the latter one sounds more natural than the former.


At present the current school operational time is 10 am to 1:10 pm.

I guess in the above sentence I should use either "at present" or "current". Please correct me.
