Line Creek Lowdown

Hello Line Creek Families,

Today was a special day at Line Creek! We gathered for an all-school sensory-friendly assembly to celebrate our students' hard work and growth. Our school met the district NWEA growth goal in math during this second testing window, and we marked the achievement with a popcorn party for all students!

We also had an exciting introduction—our brand-new school mascot, Lenny the Lion! A huge thank you to our wonderful PTA for making this possible through their fundraising efforts. We are so grateful for their ongoing support of our school community.

Students also received exciting news—Line Creek will be taking an all-school field trip to see Charlotte’s Web at the Folly Theater on April 30th! More information is coming home with students today, so be sure to check their backpacks.

We are so proud of our students and all they are achieving—Go Lions!

Thank you for all you do!

Mrs. Robin Davis

Principal

This year we are making two changes in our building related to Valentines Parties. The first change is that we are moving our spring parties away from February 14. This year, our spring parties, hosted by PTA will be on Thursday, April 4th.

In keeping with this change, we will not be exchanging valentines at Line Creek. We understand that holidays are very important to our entire community. We will continue our practice of recognizing holidays at school without celebrating holidays. There are many opportunities for students to participate in holiday celebrations with their families, community groups or friends outside of school. While we are at school, we will focus on creating opportunities that all students will be able to enjoy without the need for students to opt out of activities. We thank you in advance for your support and understanding.

Line Creek families, we need your help! We are seeking 22 more community members to share all about their career with our K-5 students (ages 5-11) on April 25th, 2025. If you are interested and available, please fill out interest form here - https://forms.gle/dRr65YQX64Z5TtJw6! Feel free to bring in handouts, treats, or tools you need to perform your job! Please reach out to Mrs. Paddack at lewisl@parkhill.k12.mo.us with any questions!

Our employees are the reason we are so successful here in the Park Hill School District, and we would like to recognize them for all they do for our students. That is why we present the Park Hill Star award once a month to a pre-K or elementary teacher, a secondary teacher and a support employee. Anyone can nominate an employee for this award by using the form below.

Not a member of PTA? You can join at any time! Submit your information here: https://forms.gle/F14HyWKVYCncqgTXA. Cash or check can be sent to the school office.

Special Construction Note: NW Waukomis Dr will be closed north of Line Creek until further notice. Waukomis south of Line Creek is open.

In June of 2023, Park Hill adjusted the bus transportation boundaries to help alleviate the shortage of bus drivers in Park Hill School District. This adjustment includes only offering bus transportation to students living within a defined distance from their school:

· Elementary School Students – 0.5 miles from school

· Middle School Students – 1.0 mile from school

· High School Students – 1.0 mile from school

Several of our neighborhoods were previously receiving bus services, because of a construction safety variance. Because the construction south of Line Creek on Waukomis is complete, the district will be removing the safety variance and will no longer be providing bus transportation to families who live within the 0.5 radius.

We know this may be difficult for some families. If you have questions you’d like to share with our Transportation Department, please email them at transportation@parkhill.k12.mo.us.

Thank you for making this adjustment with us, and please connect with us if you need support.

To protect the health and safety of our students, homemade treats will not be distributed to students in the Park Hill School District. Due to allergies and other food intolerances, please consult your classroom teacher before sending any pre-packaged treats to school.

Students may bring a birthday treat or favor to school to share with their classmates, as long as they come from our list of treats that contain none of the eight (8) major allergens - milk, wheat, egg, soy, peanut, tree nut, fish and shellfish.

Thank you for understanding that all classroom treats must come from this list because we do not have the staff capacity to check for allergens that could threaten the health of some students. Please bring birthday treats ahead of time (two hours after the start of school, at the latest).
