Mark Twain Volunteer Registration

Mark Twain Elementary School

Volunteer Registration Form

All volunteers must register online the first time and pass a criminal history background check before they can participate as a volunteer.  Once you have registered online you do not need to register online again.  You do have to fill out this registration form for verification of your clearance every year.  Please check with Vicky Sanchez, in the main office, to see if you are already registered online.  If you filled out the background check form in previous years she already registered you online.  Vicky can provide you with your user ID and password just in case you need to update your registration.  Even if you are already registered online, please fill out the information below and submit it to Vicky, along with a copy of your ID, so that she can verify that you are still cleared to volunteer.  Previously registered volunteers are rechecked by HISD during the summer.

Please follow the steps below to become registered online:

Step 1: Go to www.houstonisd.org and scroll down to the bottom of the page, click on the Parents tab and then click on VIPS Login.

Step 2: Follow the online instructions for registration.  Once you have registered online, complete the Mark Twain Volunteer Registration Form [English version | Spanish version], attach a copy of your photo identification and submit it to Vicky Sanchez in the main office.

Step 3: Vicky will complete the registration process by submitting your name for processing.

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.
