"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." – Helen Keller
Parental involvement in children's education is fundamental to the success of the child in the educational process. Research from Harvard University’s Family Research Project shows that the children of involved parents tend to do better in school across a number of measures, including a higher overall GPA, better scores on standardized tests, and an increased likelihood of enrolling in college. Engaged parents can also reduce the effects of negative peer pressure that often push kids to become unmotivated in school.
Even though students may roll their eyes about parents helping at school, they can be reassured that their involvement has long-lasting positive effects on their children’s academic motivation and performance.
Raptor Volunteer Initiative
Katy ISD is excited to announce the implementation of the District’s Raptor Volunteer Initiative for the upcoming school year. Beginning October 1, the district will require all volunteers serving on campus during the instructional day to register with the district through its Raptor security system.
Join our volunteer community today by simply following these easy steps!
Step 1: Register to Volunteer
Complete the District-Required volunteer registration and create your personal profile. Select ALL campuses and volunteer organizations for whom you may volunteer this school year. Complete contact information and email address is required. (Katy ISD staff should register with a personal email address rather than their district account.) Watch your email for confirmation that your registration has been received and accepted. Then use the link provided to create your username and password.

On-campus, school-day volunteer hours will be automatically collected by the Raptor system.
