Volunteer Registration
Katy ISD is grateful for the thousands of volunteers who make a difference in our schools each
year. To help maintain a safe and secure environment for our students and staff, all volunteers
serving on or off campus during or outside the instructional day are required to register annually
through the district's Raptor volunteer management system.
A valid government-issued photo ID and email address are required to complete registration.
Your information will remain confidential and will not be shared outside of the volunteer
program, except for applicants who register as a Community Volunteer (not a parent,
grandparent, or guardian of a current Katy ISD student) or as a KEYS Mentor. For these
volunteer roles, the information required to complete a background check will be shared only
with our authorized background screening provider, JDP.
Once registered and approved, volunteers can:
• Sign up as a campus volunteer by completing the volunteer recruitment form provided by
their campus organization(s) or by contacting the campus volunteer coordinator.
• Track volunteer hours through their volunteer profile for every Katy ISD campus where they
serve.
• Quickly and easily submit individual off-campus volunteer hours
