Socorro Independent School District -
Volunteers


 
Socorro ISD Volunteer ProgramThank you for your interest in
one of the most rewarding jobs in education…“Volunteering”.To volunteer at SISD,
first fill out the Volunteer Registration form, available for downloading at the
bottom of this page or you can obtain one at any of our schools. Due to the
large number of applicants, we will not notify you of your application status.
To get your status, call your school office and contact the School Volunteer
Coordinator or the SISD Volunteer Program. The process will take less than 5
business days.MissionWe challenge and encourage each student to achieve and
demonstrate academic excellence, technical skills, and responsible
citizenship.VisionA team of dedicated professionals, committed, focused, making
a positive difference, improving instruction, caring people, emphasizing fiscal
accountability and responsibility. Leaving a legacy of professionalism, selfless
service, and values to those who follow.Core ValuesParenting: Families gain
assistance in child-rearing issues. Schools gain better
understanding.Communicating: Effective two-way communication between schools and
families to address school programs, events and student progress.Volunteering:
Families become involved as volunteers, advocates and audiences in and outside
the school setting to support student and school programs.Decision-Making:
Family members are actively included in school decision, governance and through
meaningful participation.Collaborating with the Community: Families, students
and the schools benefit from resources coordination with businesses, agencies
and community groups. Families, students and the schools provide services to the
community.SISD Volunteer ProgramSISD Volunteers are an essential component in
the efforts to educate and nurture students. Volunteers work alongside staff to
enhance and enrich the educational opportunities provided to studentsSince 1999
more than 4,600 parents, business partners and community members have given more
than 1,000,000 hours of service to the SISD.VolunteeringPublic schools belong to
the public, and the education of students requires a coalition of the total
community. Every segment of society benefits from well-educated students who
become productive and successful citizens. There is a cost to society for any
student who does not succeed in school.Parents provide many hours of volunteer
services, but community and business involvement is also very important. An
increase in both parents working, single parent households and other stresses
make community involvement and support even more important than in previous
years.Who can volunteer?Anyone who cares about education and the children of the
Socorro Independent School District can apply to volunteer. SISD volunteers
include parents, retirees, businesses, member of the militia, civic groups,
college students and other concerned citizens.What can volunteers do?SISD
volunteers make contributions to every aspect of the education process. Many
volunteers work directly with teachers and assist in the classroom. Volunteers
also work with office staff, in the cafeteria, or in the library. They may tutor
students, or become mentors and work individually with students. Others make
valuable contributions by serving on planning and development committees.Thank
you very much for your interest in the SISD volunteer program and our students.
We hope your experience is as rewarding to you as it is for our students.If you
