Parent Service Organization
The transformative education offered at Great Hearts Irving would not be possible without the generous and passionate commitment of our Parent Service Organization (PSO). As a parent and/or guardian, you have joined a community of like-minded families dedicated to the success of Great Hearts Irving and its students. We value your support and commitment to our community!
2022-2023 PSO Officers
The Great Hearts Irving Parent Service Organization is headed by a team of extraordinarily-talented and hardworking parents serving in a range of officer positions.
Room Parent Liaisons
In the Lower School, our Room Parent Liaisons (RPL’s) play a crucial role in helping our teachers and school to connect with parents and our parents with each other. Please see below if you aren’t sure who the RPL is for your child’s classroom. For questions about RPL’s or information about how to get in touch with them, please reach out to Mary.Pantin@greatheartsirving.org.
Teacher Luncheons
Our amazing PSO supports our faculty on a monthly basis by providing a meal for our hardworking teachers. In order to offset costs for the 180-member strong faculties of both Lower and Upper School campuses, please consider donating toward these lunches. No donation is too small!
Teacher Lounge Goodies
Our teachers work incredibly hard. One of the easiest and most effective ways of showing your appreciation is by providing treats for each campus’s teacher lounge. We are always delighted to receive any treats you’d like to buy and send in to the front desk— especially ground coffee and light snacks. A convenient option is to send a one-time donation or set up a recurring delivery through the Amazon Wish Lists below which can be shipped right to the campus:

Volunteer Opportunities
We support the school in a wide range of ways. No matter what your talent or schedule, your help will make a difference. If you are interested in ways to volunteer, please contact PSO@greatheartsirving.org.
Volunteer Background Checks
We are honored to have such a wonderful parent community that partners with us so closely by helping with celebrations, festivals, and other activities. In an effort to keep everyone on campus as safe as possible, Great Hearts Texas has recently updated its policy to require a background check for anyone who will be volunteering on campus at any time throughout the year. Because the $5 fee associated with these checks across all Great Hearts Texas schools represents a considerable expense, our district leaders have asked parents to help by covering the cost themselves.
If you plan to volunteer on campus this year, please complete your background check and pay the $5 fee today. All parents must pass the background check in order to volunteer, so don’t wait until it’s too late! The background check must be completed once per school year. It is recommended to complete the check on a computer rather than a cell phone.
Complete Your Background Check
For questions about the volunteer background check, please contact Robert.Tiffin@greatheartsirving.org.
Donate to PSO
Did you know that every Great Hearts Irving parent is already a member of the PSO? As part of the PSO, all Great Hearts Irving parents are strongly encouraged to take an active role in their child’s education by giving of their time, talent, and treasure. Every dollar you donate to PSO goes toward supporting the mission, teachers, and students of Great Hearts Irving.
