Lineweaver has been recognized as a 'B' school by the Arizona Department of Education for the 2023-2024 school year!

Throughout the school year, we've hosted "Pineapple Days," where teachers visit each other's classrooms to see teaching in action and share ideas. On April 24, the Lineweaver administration hosted a luau party for all the teachers that participated either as hosts, visitors or simply covered another teacher's class to help. Thank you for making our classrooms better!

Samantha Lauderdale is a 5^th grade teacher at Lineweaver Elementary, and on her way to work she has an extra perk: a personal DJ. Her son Isaac is currently a 5^th grade student at the same school, so the pair enjoy their commute together. Isaac is currently into Indie music and, while Samantha may not know any of the names of the bands he picks to listen to, she appreciates that she gets to learn more about music through her son.

Congratulations to Lineweaver teacher Madhavi Rachakonda for earning her National Board Certification!
