Volunteer in HISD
We encourage all parents to register as a Volunteer in Public Schools (VIPS). If you would like to chaperone field trips, help at the Book Fair, serve as a room parent, or participate in other volunteer opportunities, you must complete the VIPS approval process. The VIPS approval process must be completed every school year.
Parents may volunteer on or off campus with current VIPS approval. Once approved, the office must be notified in advance of any volunteer visits. Volunteers arriving without a badge will be asked to return to the office.
Parents do not need VIPS approval to attend school events. However, we strongly encourage all parents to complete the VIPS registration process to ensure safety and be ready to support when opportunities arise.
There are two steps:
1. Complete the required VIPS training
2. Submit the online application for approval
