If you plan to work with children in NISD schools, you must pass a criminal background check prior to volunteering.

You will be required to provide your birth date, address, full name, phone number and primary email address for contact purposes.  After your background check has been approved, you will be able to log into your Virtual Volunteer account to sign up for various volunteer activities.
 

Raptor's Virtual Volunteer captures your volunteer hours.  A record of your volunteer hours is of vital importance to the school where you volunteer and to the district.  Please remember to document all your volunteer hours at  www.v-volunteer.com.  To access the NISD Background Check, please log on to  www.nisdtx.org.

Meet Danielle Varner, a volunteer at Carl E. Schluter Elementary School.  Varner spends her time helping first grade teachers, art teachers, in the library and anywhere else the school needs her to assist. 

 

When asked what motivated Varner to become an NISD volunteer she replied, "I wanted to support my daughter's teacher.  I feel teachers need to be helped the way they want to be helped."

 

To date, Varner has logged 208 volunteer hours, the most of any volunteer at the school.  "She has graciously volunteered to be a Destination Imagination Manager this year," gifted and talented specialist Liz Smith said.  "We are so happy to have her as an addition to Schluter's amazing group of volunteers."

 

Varner said being a Schluter parent has been life changing.  "The positive energy here is contagious."
