     VIPS are HISD volunteers. Each year, thousands of parents, students and community partners support students and teachers by volunteering their time.
     
    How can I become a VIPS?

    All volunteers must register online and pass a criminal background check before they can participate as a volunteer. Please follow the steps below to become a VIPS:
    Step 1:

    Register online at www.houstonisd.org, stay on the homepage, and click on the VIPS login under the Parents link section.
    Step 2:

    Once you have registered, you must go in person to the school of interest and show proof of identification.
    Step 3:

    Identification information will go into our database for processing by the
    Volunteer Coordinator at each campus.
    Step 4:

    The criminal history background check can take 2-3 weeks to complete.
    Step 5:

    Once you are CLEARED to volunteer, you are eligible to volunteer throughout HISD.
