Interested in Volunteering?
Think school involvement opportunities end with elementary school?... Not at FPMS!
From Teacher Appreciation, Library, Book Fair, School Safety, School Dances, Fundraisers, Booster Clubs, & more -- middle school still has opportunities to be involved & there's an opportunity to suit everyone!
Whether you enjoy helping out with the booster clubs or prefer the PTA/school events -- ALL volunteers MUST be LISD approved so do not delay in submitting your application.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find the LISD Volunteer Handbook ?

· Define other volunteer opportunities to further engage parents and the community.
· Raise awareness of the value of ALL CAMPUS ORGANIZATIONS and ALL AREAS where parents support your school.
· Realize the value of off-campus and after-school volunteer support.
· Use volunteer totals when applying for corporate and federal grants and campus awards
