Volunteer Opportunities

Dear Parents,

Thank you for your support of the Orchestra at Vandeventer! We need your help. There are several ways that you can help make this year a success for Orchestra.

Volunteering for one or more activities is a little thing that makes a BIG difference in not only your child’s future but the VMS Orchestra program as a whole. Please consider volunteering a bit of your time to one or more of our events this year.

You must complete all of the necessary application information for FISD Volunteers before you can be selected as a chaperone. This has to be renewed at the beginning of each academic school year. It will not take long to complete, but give yourself a week to be processed. This is for our student's safety.

More information can be found here:

Volunteers Need Background Checks

FISD Board Policy requires that each volunteer and chaperone undergo a background check.

The goal: We want to keep students safe and this new system streamlines the process.

What’s new: Community members and parents have a new system to complete their background checks. They will need to create a VOLY account by visiting https://friscoisd.voly.org.

You will be prompted to complete the background check during your VOLY account creation process. Keep an eye on your inbox for your background check approval (the process can take up to 3-5 business days). VOLY will send you customized e-mails with opportunities that may interest you for volunteering.

Family and community members must complete a background check once every year starting in July.

If you need help, email volunteer@friscoisd.org, call 469-633-6860 or complete a ticket through the VOLY support system.

For a list of events for the year, check out the VMS Orchestra calendar.

For questions regarding volunteering and upcoming events, please reach out to a VMS Orchestra Director.

Thank you in advance for your help!
