We are an OMA Gold & Kind School
April's Character Trait is COURAGE
Stay Clear of the Bus Bay REMINDER
Please make sure the bus bay in front of school on Bryant Avenue is CLEAR for busses. By law, this is NOT a student drop off or pickup location during posted hours of arrival and dismissal times. TUSD School Safety department has cited our school as not complying this this; please help do your part!
Lineweaver Yearbook Orders Coming
Our Yearbook Club, supervised by Mrs. Deleon and Mrs. Lauderdale, have been working throughout the school year to create a wonderful yearbook for us! They have been working on the theme, layout, and photo content and it's nearly time to place your orders! Be on the lookout for the online ordering information. Yearbooks will be $10 each.
Tax Credit- It's not too late!

Please consider designating your AZ state tax credit to Lineweaver's many programs such as sports, Wright Flight, OMA, clubs, undesignated, and others! use the online link here or stop by the front office! https://www.tusd1.org/donate
Site Council Needs Parent Member
Our School Site Council is an important group that meets at least four times a year. We determine how to allocate our undesignated tax credit funds for the school and review important school plans. This group includes a mix of certified teachers, classified staff and parents/guardians. Looking ahead to next school year, we have ONE parent opening to join our group. If you are interested in joining us, please email Principal Walls at emily.walls@tusd1.org to be considered on the ballot (parents will vote for parents after an upcoming PTO meeting).
