My name is Amanda Long, and I work in our school library and with our special education department. After earning my degree in elementary education, I have been fortunate to spend the past 21 years doing what I love-serving students, parents, and teachers. I spend half of my day in the library and the other half with our special education classrooms. Our library offers so many resources and activities. I look forward to helping students engage in all the library has to offer. Our special education department is amazing! Unified is an incredible opportunity for all students to be an integral part of Meadow Glen Middle School. If I can be of service to you, please feel free to contact me anytime.
