Watch DOGS
What is Watch DOGS?
Who are Watch D.O.G.S.? Fathers, grandfathers, step-fathers, uncles, and other father figures who volunteer to serve at least one day a year in a variety of school activities as assigned by the school principal or other administrator. We want to be clear, if you are a positive male role model - YOU are a Watch DOG.
Our goal is to get as many positive male role models in the lives of our children. Please consider volunteering at least one full day this school year. It's easy and fun. We will have a schedule for your day that will include time with your own child or children as well as in other classes. The teachers will know ahead of time that you are coming so will have you engage with the class either by working with a small group of students, just being a presence and participant or working one on one with a student.
Thank you so much for all of you who were able to make it out to Pizza Night. I was blown away with response. I understand sometimes our schedules don't allow us to be at all events. Our students appreciate your willingness to volunteer and look forward to seeing you in our hallways and classrooms soon.
So, you want to be a Watch DOG, what's next?

3. Order a shirt - if you want! Not required, but highly encouraged so all the students and adults know who you are!
4. Complete volunteer training. This is a requirement of all volunteers in the school. This takes about 15 minutes.

5. Look for an email and paper copy of your schedule before your assigned day. This will have your schedule for the day. You will be traveling around to different areas of the building throughout the day, so bring your comfortable shoes.
5. Arrive at Poplar Road on your assigned day at 7:30 and be ready to be a positive influence on the lives of some awesome kids!
