Watch Dogs

Who are the Watch D.O.G.S.?

Dads, Grandpas, Step-dads, or other father figures.

What do the Watch D.O.G.S. do?

Spend part of or the whole day at school being a role model for kids by volunteer in their student(s)'s classroom as well as others (up to 4 classrooms in a day!), enjoy lunch with their kid(s), help at lunch and recess by chatting or playing with kids.

Program Benefits:

• Our students gain a positive male role model. Some students may not have a father-figure present in their home and the number of male teachers has been steadily declining in recent years. More positive male role models are needed in the school setting.

• Our schools gain an extra set of eyes and ears. The presence of Watch D.O.G.S. can increase a sense of security for students and staff that helps create an environment conducive to learning.

• Fathers get to spend more meaningful time with their students in the school setting and gain a greater awareness of the positive impact they have on their student's educational progress.

• When Watch D.O.G.S. invest a day at school, they can learn how to better partner with the school to meet educational goals of students.
