Volunteers in Public Schools (VIPS)

All volunteers at Briarmeadow must be registered through the HISD Volunteers in Public Schools Program (VIPS). All volunteers must pass an annual background check before they can participate as a volunteer. Once registered and cleared, all volunteers can work at any HISD campus. Please register at www.houstonisd.org/vips. If you are unsure if you are registered in the HISD VIPS program, please check with the front desk.

 

Parent Teacher Organization

Every Briarmeadow parent or guardian is a part of the parent teacher organization. It is composed of both parents and teachers who volunteer their time to host fundraisers and events. The funds that are generated by the PTO help fund everything from supplies, equipment, transportation, field trips, and more so our kids can have a one of a kind education.

BCS PTO has several open chair positions that needs to be filled. Please volunteer.

Room parents works as a liaison between the PTO and the classroom parents. Some of the responsibilities include:

Dad’s Club

The BCS Dad’s Club was established in the Spring of 2018 by a group BCS dads. These Charter Members started the Club with the mission to raise money for special projects not funded by the school’s operating budget and to improve the school grounds.

Meetings are held the 2nd Wednesday of the month during the school year at Mike’s Ice House &Restaurant (8746 Lipan Road, 77063). Membership dues are $50.00 per school year or 8 hours of volunteer work toward club projects. Dues and fundraisers are used to achieve the Club’s mission.

Projects have included redoing the mulch on the playgrounds, power washing school grounds, playground maintenance, weeding, painting picnic tables/benches, and general school grounds improvements. The Dad’s Club will continue to work to improve the safety and appearance of the school.
