What if the volunteer did not ever receive or has misplaced the email containing their password?

LISD’s volunteer program is the envy of other districts across the state. Last year, more than 14,000 LISD volunteers donated countless hours, contributing time and energy and demonstrating the importance of education to a generation of impressionable students.
A volunteer’s tasks are limitless, including such things as tutoring and mentoring students, chaperoning school dances and field trips, serving as room parents, helping with field day and book fairs, serving Thanksgiving lunches, stuffing of weekly take-home folders, helping with class projects, laminating, being a literacy partner and helping in the campus office. The list is endless, and we know that each of our volunteers/mentors contributes to making this a great place to learn.
Each campus’ volunteer coordinator organizes and implements the program on their campus, helping each individual person maximize her or his volunteer time.
