Watch D.O.G.S.
Our Watch D.O.G.S program will be temporarily suspended until further notice. We are working on ways to involve positive male role models in the education of our students as we implement safety precautions during this pandemic.

What is WATCH D.O.G.S.® (Dads Of Great Students)? WATCH D.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students) is an innovative father involvement, educational initiative of the National Center for Fathering. What are the goals of a WATCH D.O.G.S. program? 1) To provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is important. 2) To provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce bullying. Who are WatchDOGS and how does WATCH D.O.G.S. work? WatchDOGS are fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and other father-figures who volunteer for at least one day each year at an official WATCH D.O.G.S. school. WATCH D.O.G.S. invites fathers, grandfathers, uncles, or other father figures to volunteer at least one day all day at their child’s/student’s school during the school year. WatchDOG dads perform a variety of tasks during their volunteer day including monitoring the school entrance, assisting with unloading and loading of buses and cars, monitoring the lunch room, or helping in the classroom. What do WatchDOGS do while they are at school? During the day, WatchDOGS may read and work on flash cards with students, play at recess, eat lunch with students, patrol the school entrances and hallways, assist with traffic flow and any other assigned activities where they actively engage with not only their own students, but other students as well. |
