Betty Kaye Atwell

Welcome to Kindergarten! I am excited to get to know you and your child. We are going to learn a tremendous amount this year and we will have so much fun doing so! The Kindergarten team has great tools to help your child be successful in their learning journey.

Defining Moments in Education

I always knew that a desk job wasn’t for me. When I was growing up, my mom was a tutor and volunteer. I saw the happiness that helping others brought her and I knew that I wanted to help others as well. Throughout the years, my students have taught me to appreciate the little things, laugh every day, and have patience. A challenging student can make your day difficult, but you have the potential to affect more than just their day, you have the power to change their life!

Why I Teach in Amphi

I was fortunate to start my teaching career in Amphi and it has felt like home ever since. I feel that in teaching in Amphi, my teaching efforts are truly needed and appreciated. I am committed to the growth and success of each and every one of my students.
