The Splendora Independent School District values the contributions of parents, guardians, grandparents, and community members. Our goal is to provide a safe environment for everyone. You can be involved in your child’s education as a volunteer or visitor. 

Volunteers work within the school programs by interacting with teachers and students. These individuals must complete a Volunteer Application. A volunteer's duties may include the following:

• Mentoring students
• Tutoring students
• Working with the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)
• Office and Classroom Assistance (Including Room Parents)
• Teacher and Staff Appreciation Activities
• Extracurricular and Community Service Activities
• Attending Field Trips (in any capacity – as a parent or chaperone)

Visitors observe their child without engaging in instructional activities and refrain from interacting one-on-one with other students. These individuals do not need to complete a Volunteer Application. Visitors may:

• Eat lunch with their child, only.
• Attend a school-wide assembly or event.
• Walk their child to class (Each campus has its own rules about this. Please verify that this is allowed on your child's campus.)
• Speak to a class or organization with the teacher or sponsor present.

Note: Visiting during student-only events is prohibited.

• Be 18 years of age before the first day of the school year unless supervised by school district personnel.
• Sign in at the front desk and receive a volunteer sticker.
• Dress neatly. Be dependable, interested in making a difference, respectful of teachers, administrators, and students, and faithful to commitments.
• Keep things seen and heard at school confidential.
• Turn behavior problems with a student over to the teacher or campus administrator.
• Share matters of concern with the campus principal.
• Ask questions if they are unsure about anything.
• Avoid expressing dissatisfaction with the school or staff in the presence of students.
• Avoid promoting any specific business, commercial products, or brand names.
• Avoid unexpectedly entering their child's classroom while volunteering during school hours.
