Because Pauline Central is a Title 1 school, a significant portion of our funding for staffing and resources are afforded to us. The economic demographics of the families who attend a Title school is one of the factors that is considered when allotting funding to the school. Because breakfast and lunches have been free for ALL students for the past 2 years, we have a significant shortfall in the number of families reporting economic information.

If you did not yet complete a Household Economic Survey this year, would you please consider doing so? Even at this late stage in the school year, we could recoup some of the lost revenue.

Thank you so much for your support of our school community!

On-Line Registration is NOW OPEN for the 2022-23 school year.

Our staff continue to prioritize the social emotional learning for our students. Second Step programs are research-based, teacher-informed, and classroom-tested to promote the social-emotional development, safety, and well-being of children from Early Learning through Grade 8.

Your child participates in these lessons designed to help students have more positive attitudes toward themselves and others, show more positive social behaviors in school, and have fewer conduct problems. This results in greater school connectedness, which helps keep students safe and out of trouble.

Our PTO meets the first Tuesday of every month at 6:00 p.m. Everyone who is a parent of a student at Pauline South and Pauline Central is a member of PTO. We encourage anyone who would like to attend or participate in any way to contact our PTO president, Bailee Crawford at crawford_bailee@yahoo.com.

Our next regularly scheduled meeting is Tuesday, May 3 at 6:00 p.m. in the Pauline Central Library.

Please check out this wonderful and sometimes underutilized resource available for all families in Kansas. The resource is the 1-800-CHILDREN helpline.

The 1-800-Children has received 331 calls, texts, or emails. 97% of callers report the call line met their needs! FYI, there is also a handy app that can be downloaded to your phone. Kansas Children's Service League (kcsl.org). Raising families can be difficult work and having someone 24/7 available to answer questions and share information about community resources is invaluable.
