​A Parent-Teacher Organization

Get Started

​Before you can help at events or in the classroom, PfISD requires a quick background check to help keep our students safe. It only takes a few minutes, and once you're approved, you're set to volunteer at Riojas all year long.

Explore Open OPPORTUNITIES

The PTO couldn't do what it does without parent volunteers. Every committee, program, and event depends on someone stepping up. Take a look at what's currently open and find a role that fits you.

VOLUNTEER DATABASE

Fill out a quick survey to tell us your availability, skills, and how you'd like to be contacted. We'll match you with volunteer opportunities that fit your schedule throughout the year, from one-time tasks to standing roles.

Why Volunteering Matters

Want to be one of the first parents in the know about what's happening at Riojas? Volunteering is how it happens. Whether it's 30 minutes on a Friday morning or leading a committee all year, none of what the PTO does would be possible without parents like you stepping up.

Open Positions

PTO Board Openings

PRESIDENT
The PTO President leads our board and oversees all PTO committees and programs throughout the school year. This role works closely with school administration to align our efforts with the needs of Riojas, runs board and general membership meetings, and helps guide fellow volunteers in bringing events to life. As the primary point of contact between the PTO and our school community, the President ensures every program runs smoothly and every volunteer feels supported.
VP OF FUNDRAISING
The VP of Fundraising leads our fundraising strategy and oversees campaigns throughout the school year, from the Holiday Marketplace to the Spring Carnival and everything in between. This role works with committee chairs to plan and execute fundraising events, sets goals for what we hope to raise, and helps recruit the volunteers needed to make each campaign successful. Working closely with the Treasurer, the VP of Fundraising helps ensure funds raised directly support our students, teachers, and school programs.

Committee Chair Openings

HOLIDAY MARKETPLACE CHAIR
This event is a student favorite. This chair is responsible for purchasing gift items, pricing and tagging, and working to properly communicate and recruit volunteers. This chair will be required to be onsite during the school days on the week of the event.
PATRIOT PFEST CHAIR
​The chairs are responsible for coordinating all of the activities involved in executing this RES favorite event. Examples include, but are not limited to, organizing a silent auction, reserving attractions, coordinating volunteers, recruiting food vendors, and completing all appropriate paperwork with the school district and city.
WATCH D.O.G.S. (DADS OF GREAT STUDENTS) VOLUNTEER
The program was created for the purpose of encouraging dads, grandfathers, uncles, and other father-figures to become more involved in schools.  The men who volunteer serve as positive male role models for our students. You will spend their day involved with activities such as helping with morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up, reading with students, working with students on flashcards, playing at recess, eating lunch with students, and monitoring entrances and hallways.  You will also have some special time dedicated to being with their own kids, but they spend most of their day mentoring to others.
