Welcome to the new Amphitheater Public Schools website platform

Our new websites are designed to highlight the District and our schools and provide families and staff with the information they need.

While we are excited to launch the new sites, the project does come with a few potential (and temporary) issues. We request your patience and assistance as we continue to refine the pages on each site.

If you need information urgently and can’t locate it on the website or see an error, please email answers@amphi.com, and we will respond and address the concern as quickly as possible, typically the same day or within 24 hours.

For non-urgent help or to provide suggestions or feedback, please copy/paste this link to submit a feedback form: https://forms.office.com/r/qAtdJ18ZhR.

We welcome your input and appreciate your patience and feedback as we continue refining the website throughout the summer. Your ideas will help us make our sites more useful for everyone.

English Language Arts Curriculum

It is the goal of the Amphitheater School District’s ELA Department to provide the enrichment and support necessary to build proficiency in reading, writing, listening and speaking for all of our students. 

Effective communication for the 21st century requires competency in language arts. That is why Amphitheater students begin with the essential skills of reading and writing. Language arts curriculum is focused on critical thinking so students can identify, evaluate and solve problems as they learn and grow.

Language Arts Learning Goals in Amphitheater

  • Reading: Demonstrate the ability to read, comprehend, and evaluate fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and printed media.
  • Writing: Demonstrate the ability to communicate in Standard English through a variety of formal and informal formats and modes for a variety of purposes.
  • Listening, Speaking, Viewing: Demonstrate the ability to participate in formal and informal situations, listening critically and analytically and speaking effectively to communicate ideas and information.
  • Critical Thinking: Demonstrate the ability to identify, evaluate, and solve problems individually or cooperatively.
