    Emergency Communication Practices

    Communication is a vital tool in emergency situations. Should an emergency situation arise, Amphitheater Middle School will communicate information to you through our ParentSquare system. Through ParentSquare, we are able to give vital information to you through your telephone. If you are unable to answer, the system will leave you a message. It is crucial that you keep your contact information updated with our office.

    In the event of an emergency, specific information will be sent to you by phone. Please understand that during an emergency, AMS staff will be unavailable to answer phone calls and questions. All information will be communicated to you through ParentSquare. In the event of a school evacuation, the evacuation site will be disclosed through the ParentSquare message system. As always, it will be necessary to show a photo ID in order to pick up a student.
