Would you like to get involved? Well, we would LOVE to have you! If every parent did #justonething during the school year, it would add up to a WHOLE LOT for Waverly Park. Plus, it'll make your children proud!
While volunteering is certainly not a requirement of PTA
membership, members are welcome and encouraged to volunteer as it will most
assuredly benefit the children, school, and the community. We have involvement
opportunities for all schedules, availability, and interests, both at school and from home.
Please follow these steps to begin the volunteer process.
STEP 1: Complete the Volunteer Form and return it to the office. You may also directly contact the 2019-2020 Volunteer Coordinator, Irene San Juan, with any questions.
**Click on the image to view it in a larger size** Let us know what you're interested in helping with, your availability, your preferred method of contact (call, text, email), etc.
STEP 2: Create an account with VOLY, the FWISD's volunteer management system. It only takes 5-10 minutes! Every volunteer within the FWISD will need to create an online VOLY account and have a background check completed in order to volunteer in our schools. This must be done BEFORE you may actually volunteer at Waverly Park.
VOLY is easy to use and has many features that will enhance your volunteer experience. - Application, consent to background check, and orientation located in one place
- Ability to manage your own volunteer profile, including changing your school of choice or adding a school
- Convenient access to all volunteer opportunities in any FWISD school
- Ability to sign up for opportunities electronically and easily from any electronic device (phone, tablet, desktop, etc.)
- Weekly email to inform you about volunteer opportunities that match your interests
- Ability to track service hours

- Fill out the fields under "Create A Volunteer Account" title located on the left side of the screen and click on the green "Create Account" when completed.
- NOTE: When creating an account, you must use your legal name as it appears on your current photo identification (not a nickname).
- ***If you don't have an email account, go to the right side of the screen and click on "Don't Have An Email? Use Your Cell Number and Carrier Extension." Or click here for instructions. ***

- NEED HELP? Please call 817-814-2070, Monday - Thursday, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm.
STEP 3: Search VOLY for volunteer opportunties at Waverly Park (or find out via the weekly VOLY email). In some cases, you may also be contacted directly by PTA via your preferred contact method (call, text, email) if you've expressed specific interest in assisting with a particular opportunity.
