Announcing the 2009-2010 VIPS Theme....

"FAMILY TIES"!

 		  

 Welcome to the Katy ISD VIPS Website!

VIPS are Volunteers in Public Schools.....

They are the backbone of every campus and the true heartbeat of Katy ISD.

The Katy ISD VIPS program has a time-honored tradition of serving the community of children and teachers by donating thousands of hours each year.  Last year, our VIPS donated over 500,000 hours to our school district.  Some of these VIPS volunteered at home, and some volunteered on campus.  Some VIPS helped with school carnivals, and others helped at varsity football games.  ALL of them put in their time, talent and heart!

The VIPS website is designed to be a resource for volunteers and volunteer managers.  We hope you'll join our family as we strengthen the ties that join us as a campus and as a district.  Let us know if we can ever be of assistance.  So...let's explore our Family Ties!
