Rattler News

Genius Hour is this Friday, October 4th- Students are continuing their RESEARCH!

See videos below, but remember.. don't show your kids just yet! They will see this video on Friday with their class.

If you are visiting for an event or lunch you do not need to be an approved volunteer with the district. If you are volunteering to cover a lunch duty or helping out in a classroom or at a school event you must be an approved volunteer. This is not a new policy, however, the district is using a new system. See info below:

LISD has moved the Volunteer Management System from EZVolunteer to Raptor. When you arrive at River Ridge to volunteer, you will need to bring your valid driver’s license and check in at the front office. If you have not been signed in AS A VOLUNTEER this school year, you will need to allow time for the system to complete your volunteer registration when you check in.

If you are new to Leander ISD, complete the volunteer application and submit all required information to run a background check. The background check process usually takes 2-3 business days.

Once approved, the volunteer will receive an email containing their login credentials and account information. If credentials were not received via email, check SPAM for donotreply@raptortech.com.

If you are a returning volunteer, log in to the Raptor Volunteer Portal. (If credentials were not received via email, check SPAM for donotreply@raptortech.com.) When clicking the link, be sure the portal has the Leander ISD logo at the top.

If your email address or newly created password is not recognized and you are not able to log in, please contact our Raptor Support Team at support@raptortech.com.

Volunteers MUST update their profile from “all buildings” to the specific campus(es) they wish to serve.

Volunteer accounts are active for an entire year (12 months) from the date of approval. A notification will be sent to the approved volunteer one month before expiration with instructions on how to renew or remove their volunteer account for the upcoming year.

If you have any questions, please see the Leander ISD Volunteer Website or contact the district volunteer coordinator at volunteer@leanderisd.org.

Because class time is important, appointments should be scheduled, if possible, at times when the student will not miss instructional time. However, if a student should need to leave early for an appointment, you will need to bring your valid driver’s license and check your student out at the front office. Make sure you allow time for the front office to call your student from class and for your student to gather their belongings and walk to the front office. No need to call and give us a heads up as we will not be able to call your student down until you check them out in the office.

This money will go directly to teacher professional development. This makes our teachers better which makes your children better!
