Meet Amanda Atkinson-Lewis: Deering's Newest Addition to Student Support

We’d like to welcome Amanda Atkinson-Lewis to our team! Amanda joins us as a social worker, dedicated to supporting the well-being of our students. She is working with students whose last names fall between O-Z. Amanda's office is conveniently located in the library, next to Zoe Eiber's office.  Please take a moment to read more about Amanda in her bio and personal statement below, and join us in giving her a warm welcome to Deering!

Personal Statement:
Hello Deering Community!  I am so excited to be back in the Portland Schools community, doing what I love most: supporting and working with students, families, staff, and community.  I look forward to reconnecting with students and families I have known over the years, and am equally excited to build new relationships.  I am very grateful to have landed in such a wonderful school 'Ramily'.

Bio:
Amanda Atkinson-Lewis has been a school social worker with Portland Public Schools for many years, previously at Talbot Elementary School and King Middle School.  She took a hiatus from PPS to lead Equity work with Westbrook School Department, and most recently was in an Network Director position with a local non-profit organization.  She is excited to get back to her roots as a school social worker in the PPS community.
