Become a Volunteer

There are so many ways to volunteer with PTA, including at special events, for class parties, as a library helper, and behind the scenes. We ALWAYS need helping hands!

How do I get started?

• Please first complete the VOLY volunteer approval process through PISD.

• The criminal history background search takes 3-5 business days, so we recommend beginning this process as soon as possible, so that you may volunteer as soon as you are ready.

• Choose Davis Elementary under My School. 

• Please note that the name on your volunteer application MUST match the name on our government-issued ID.

• PISD employees will also need to be VOLY approved to be able to volunteer at Davis.

• Please email us at volunteers@davisplanopta.org to let us know you are interested in volunteering.

How does it work?

• Once you have registered and reached out to express your interest in volunteering at upcoming events, we will add you to the email distribution list. When an upcoming events requires volunteers, we will send out communication requesting volunteers and then use our SignUp.com page to capture and coordinate your time.

How can I be removed from volunteer distribution?

Do I need to be VOLY approved to attend lunches with my student?

• No, you do not need to be VOLY approved to attend lunches with your student, but you do need to check in at the front office with your government-issued ID. You will need to be VOLY approved to volunteer at any PTA or school events, in the classroom, or at school.
