Volunteers - We Need You!
Welcome to the 2011-2012 school year!
There are a host of volunteer needs at MCA. We welcome all parents, grandparents, and guardian to participate in our VIPS (Volunteers in Public Schools program.) Volunteering is a great way to be an active particpant in your student's educational experience. It is a know fact that schools with an active volunteer base are more successful. We encourage you to give of your time and expertise.
To volunteer at Mount Carmel Academy you need to complete the following:
- MCA Volunteer Interest Form
- HISD Volunteer Access to Police Records Form - must be picked up from the MCA front office. Volunteers must
have a valid picture ID (driver's license.) If you have previously registered with the HISD VISITS system
(on the HISD website), or have submitted a background check form at another HISD school, you do not need to
fill out a new background check form.
- Register with the HISD VISITS system by going to the HISD website (www.houstonisd.org) and clicking on the
VIPS red apple on the right-hand side. Your background check cannot be processed until you complete this step.
- Questions? Please check with Moira Takacs in the front office,
or call Mary Sobieski (VIPS Coordinator) at 713-516-4108 (cell) or mmsobieski@gmail.com.
A sampling of areas where MCA needs your help include: book room, monitoring dropoff and pickup, tutoring, lunch room duty, grounds upkeep, prom, front office, library, fund-raising programs, etc.
