Calling all dads, grandfathers, uncles, and other father figures! We need YOU for our WATCH D.O.G.S. program! 

What is WATCH D.O.G.S.? 

WATCH D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) is a family and community engagement educational initiative. We invite fathers, grandfathers, uncles, or other father figures to volunteer at least one day at their child’s/student’s school during the school year. The program is overseen by Linda Ogden, our Dean of Students, and a volunteer team who coordinates scheduling and identify opportunities for Watch D.O.G.S. to assist at the school. Watch D.O.G.S. dads and volunteers perform a variety of tasks during their volunteer day including assisting at arrival and dismissal, monitoring the lunch room, playing at recess, or helping in the classroom with a teacher’s guidance by working with small groups of students on homework, flashcards, or spelling.

What are the goals of this program? 

•  To provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is important. 
• To provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce bullying.
