Welcome to the FPAC-Gilbert
VOLUNTEER info page!
We are so glad you are here!
Did
you know that when parents get involved in their child's school,
their child does better in school? Research shows that children whose parents are involved get better grades, do better on
tests, and have fewer discipline problems at school.

we have outlined the steps you can take - its as easy as 1-2-3!
