New Volunteer Management System
Before participating in volunteer opportunities in schools and district facilities, all RISD volunteers must complete a background check and an orientation through our NEW Volunteer Management System. We are using Verkada, the same program already in place for visitor management on every campus. Complete your 2025-2026 Richardson ISD Volunteer Application.
RISD elementary students may test once per year to determine if they qualify for gifted/talented (GT) services. The window to refer your child/ren for testing opens September 29, 2026 and closes October 13, 2026.
The 2025-2026 Texas Education Agency (TEA) accountability results officially released today, confirm what we’ve been working toward — RISD’s continued growth and student progress have moved the district to a B rating!
The safety of students, staff, and visitors is a top priority in RISD. We have several proactive measures in place to provide a safe and nurturing school environment that promotes student academic growth.
