About the PAC
The Gladstone Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is a group of volunteer parents/guardians who meet together and discuss topics about the school and the education of their children.We meet about once a month in person at the school Library. Due to people’s schedules we understand that some arrive late, others leave early, but all are welcome. We value the diversity of our community and want to provide a safe place where all voices can be valued and represented. If you are a parent/guardian of a child at Gladstone, you are already a member. We would love to hear from you.
