Get Involved at Donald Leonetti Elementary

We love new and returning volunteers at Donald Leonetti Elementary! The PTO offers several ways to volunteer and enrich your child's education.

No matter if you work-from-home, stay-home, or have a full-time job at the office, there are so many opportunities to give back to our Lion family.

If you would like to be a part of the Leonetti Lion network, you must first have a current, approved background check through FBISD.


FBISD Volunteer Background Check

All volunteer criminal history applications are inactivated annually after June 30th. If you wish to volunteer in Fort Bend ISD, in any capacity, you must update your online application after July 1 every year.

All applicants completing a volunteer criminal history application will receive an email with the approved or not approved status within five business days after application submission. Once cleared, you are welcome to sign up to volunteer at Leonetti Elementary!

Even if you volunteered at DLE in prior years, we encourage you to re-register as the PTO is updating our active volunteer lists after the recent boundary changes. Please know that registering here doesn’t commit you to any specific role, but allows you the ability to see all options and choose what fits your schedule best.
