Meet Our Leadership
From Principal Flanick
Dear Pleasant Glade Families,
It is an honor to serve as your principal since 2022. Before that, I was the assistant principal of Pleasant Glade for four years, and I look forward to continuing the great work we do to serve our students, staff, and community.
I am incredibly proud to work alongside the hardworking, talented staff here at Pleasant Glade. Our goal is to create equitable learning spaces so that all students can master high academic and social skills. We value communication and collaboration with families and the community, and we are here to support your students with you as they learn and grow.
I am eager and excited about starting this new school year. Please let me know if you have questions, concerns, or compliments, or if there is something we can do to serve your student(s) better. I look forward to working with and for you.
