Parent Involvement

We invite all parents to get involved and make a difference in our school community! Whether you’re interested in volunteering at events, helping in the school, or supporting from home, there are many ways to contribute. All volunteers must be cleared through VOLY, which is the DISD background check system. Sign up today and join us in creating a positive and engaging environment for all students.

Parent Teacher Organization  (PTO)

The PTO plays an active role in building the community at Gooch through fundraising, planning events, and countless hours of volunteer work both on and off campus. The cost to join the PTO is $12.00 per person. In addition to supporting efforts at the school, the dues go toward the school phone directory and other overhead costs to support PTO sponsored programs. To sign up, simply complete the membership form and return it and your dues to the PTO mail slot in the front office of the school. Checks are to be made payable to Gooch Gators PTO. If you are interested in helping with a specific program or event, please send your contact information to the PTO via email at and someone from the committee will get in touch with you.

Site-Based Decision Making Committee (SBDM)

This committee includes the principal, parents, teachers, community members and campus staff. There are no dues. This committee is required by the state of Texas, and all minute and agendas are posted in the front office. The objective of the committee is to improve student performance and to enhance accountability. The committee works together to assess the educational outcomes of all students, determine goals and strategies, and ensure that strategies are implemented and adjusted to improve student achievement. This is a great place for volunteers who want to help make decisions that will improve the campus.  Everyone is welcome, including community members that do not have children at the school.

Classroom and Grade Level Volunteers

Each classroom needs a room parent. Typically, people have signed up for those spots during Open House. However, there are still plenty of opportunities to help with the students including holiday parties, field trips, Field Day, and programs. The lower grades may also need more hands-on assistance during the regular day, and cafeteria assistance for kindergarten students. If you are interested in helping in the classroom, please make sure you have completed and submitted the DISD Volunteer form
