Must be VIPS approved before you can volunteer.
If you are interested in volunteering at any time during the school year, you must complete the following steps each school year. (So, if you did this last year, you will need to do it again.)
1. Click here to complete a VIPS orientation course.
2. Once completed, you will have a VIPS certificate.
3. Continue to the next steps of completing your English or Spanish application from that same website (This is required for your background check. This may take 24–48 hours.)
4. Once you are APPROVED, you will receive an approval email from donotreply@raptortech.com regarding your approved status.
5. Please forward this email AND the VIPS certificate (two items!) to klopez3@houstonisd.org, so I can add you to the list of approved volunteers. Without the TWO items, you will not be allowed to volunteer at any school event/activity during the 2023 - 2024 school year.
