Volunteering

Get Involved — Volunteer!

When adults volunteer, all students benefit! There are many opportunities for parents and community members to get involved; your help is needed!

All PISD volunteers will need to have a Volunteer Application on file to volunteer in the classroom, library, or go on field trips.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer in Plano schools, please visit the district's Volunteer Application webpage for helpful information and FAQ's.  

All volunteers will need to create an account and complete an application, online orientation and criminal history check through the Plano ISD volunteer management system, VOLY, to be eligible for district/school volunteer opportunities. Please visit plano.voly.org to create a volunteer account and begin this process. These items will need to be completed by volunteers each school year. Please note that the application and background check consent can be completed on any device; however, the volunteer orientation requires a laptop or desktop and cannot be completed on a mobile device.

An email will be sent to the volunteer applicant communicating the status of their application and criminal history search within 3-5 business days of completing these steps. Volunteer approval status can also be viewed by the volunteer by logging into their account. Volunteers will need to complete the online orientation as well to be eligible to volunteer. 

You may contact our school secretary, Ms. Maybery, at audrey.maybery@pisd.edu, with any additional concerns or questions.
