Why Volunteer?

"When do I have time to volunteer?", you ask yourself. "I am too busy being a parent!" Volunteering is important for all of us. Volunteering at your child's campus may be one of the most important, life-altering things you can ever do for your child. Why, you ask? Because it sends a very clear message to them (and other students for that matter) that you're devoting your most precious commodity -- yourself -- to something that's important to you -- their education. It shows them you support them and lets them know that what they do matters to you.

It's all about them

We're talking about our teachers and staff... the very teachers and staff who nurture your child everyday throughout the school year. We need your helping hands and smiling faces on our campuses to help lighten the load for our staff giving them more time in the classroom. We appreciate your time and talents in Leander ISD schools.

We're number one

The number one reason people don't volunteer is because no one asked them. Well, we are asking for you to be involved! Your time and knowledge is needed and wanted by our staff and students. The diversity of our community and the experiences you can share with our students is valuable to us. Whether it is a little time or a lot of time -- on campus or at home -- mom, dad or grandparent -- WE NEED YOU!

Volunteer Guidelines

An LISD Volunteer:

Is friendly and courteous at all times.
Is dependable and on time. If unable to attend, arrangements should be made ahead of time with the teacher or coordinator. In case of last-minute emergencies, please notify the campus office.
Always works under the direction and supervision of a teacher or other member of the school staff. The relationship between the volunteer and the teacher is a professional one -- one of mutual respect and confidence.
Is expected to support the teacher and supplement the teacher. The teacher, not the volunteer, is responsible for content and techniques.
Knows that any information to which he/she has access to in the school or classroom is confidential.
Never expresses differences of opinion or dissatisfaction in the presence of students.
Knows that personal reactions to a particular staff member or to a particular student should be confidential.
Takes all suggestions or matters of concern to the campus volunteer coordinator, the principal, or the district-level volunteer coordinators.
Works within the rules of the school as set out by the principal.
Records his/her hours of service on the designated form at the school for end-of-the-year recognition of his/her service to LISD students.
Has short, periodic planning periods with the teacher, either in person or virtually/by telephone.
Remembers the dress code. Volunteers set an example for the students, so it is important that you present yourself accordingly. As a general guideline, volunteers should follow the same dress code policy as the staff.

Importance of Signing Out:

Each time you go to a campus to volunteer, you must check in, wear your name badge, and check out when you are finished. This requirement is necessary for the following reasons:

In case you receive an emergency phone call, you can be found.
Individual volunteers will be recognized for their dedication and service to our schools.
Your school, and the school district, would like the opportunity to thank you for your service.
