🎉 Welcome to the Raider Community, Olivia Inchauste! 🎉

We are excited to welcome Olivia Inchauste to Portland Public Schools as a 2nd Grade Teacher at Oakwood Elementary!

Olivia earned her Bachelor of Science in Education from Central Michigan University, specializing in teaching grades PK–3 and students with cognitive impairments. She brings experience as a special education resource teacher, math interventionist, and classroom teacher. Most recently, Olivia worked as a 4th and 5th grade Special Education Resource Teacher, where she collaborated with families and multidisciplinary teams, provided differentiated instruction, and supported students with a wide range of learning needs. She also previously completed a student teaching placement in a 2nd grade classroom, making her return to 2nd grade especially exciting!

Olivia is also bringing her love of coaching to Portland! 📣 She will be coaching Middle School Competitive Cheer for the Raiders this year.

Outside of school, Olivia has an exciting year ahead personally as well. She recently moved to Lake Odessa, where she and her fiancé purchased their first home, and the two will be getting married in December! 💍🏡

As she begins her first year at Oakwood, Olivia is especially looking forward to creating strong relationships with her students and families. In her words, “I am ready to build a classroom community where we all feel like family this year in 2nd grade.” ❤️

Please join us in welcoming Olivia Inchauste to Oakwood Elementary and the Raider Community!
