Beginning the week of April 3, our 3rd grade students will be taking the required state assessment for the state of Kansas. Students have been preparing for these tests all year and next week is an opportunity for students to show what they know. There are ways to make sure that your child is able to perform at their best on these tests. Check out these tips in an article from Scholastic (below).

Please join us for our annual Kindergarten Round Up on Friday, April 14, 2023. We will host four separate in-person sessions at Pauline Central Primary School that day. You may sign up for your preferred time here.

As we reach the last quarter of the school year, please take a few minutes to review important safety expectations for riding the school bus with your child. We want all of our jaguars to have a safe ride to and from school each and every day!

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.

NOTICE TO PARENTS

Parents of students attending a Title 1 school have the right to request information on the professional qualifications of your child’s teacher and any paraprofessional working with your child. The information you may request includes:

Pauline Central Primary School exists to serve the unique academic and social-emotional needs of ALL our students, while preparing students to be future-ready.
