Our Volunteer Management System

We utilize Verkada as our Volunteer Management System (VMS), a user-friendly platform designed to make it easy for families, community members, and partners to get involved in our schools. Verkada handles both visitor and volunteer management across all Richardson ISD campuses and district office buildings, streamlining the entire process from background checks to daily check-ins.

Whether you’re a longtime RISD volunteer or new to the district, our new system simplifies the entire process — from pre-screening to completing a background check to checking in at any one of the RISD campuses.

All visitors will be required to check in at the front office with a state issued drivers license or ID.
