What it is:
WATCH D.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students) is a family and community engagement educational initiative.
Goals:
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.
WATCH D.O.G.S. at Tiffany Park:
WATCH D.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students) a K-12 program, invites fathers, grandfathers, uncles, or other father figures to volunteer at least one day all day at their child’s/student’s Tiffany Park school during the school year.
During the day, Watch D.O.G.S. may read and work on flash cards with students, play at recess, eat lunch with students, watch 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. Many school principals have reported that the mere presence of a Watch D.O.G. dramatically reduces reports of bullying. On the day of their participation, Watch D.O.G.S. are given a brief review of their involvement and they wear an official WATCH D.O.G.S. t-shirt with a disposable ‘Dog Tag’ identifying them as WATCHDOGS.
If you are able to participate in this program, sign up to be a WatchDOG: tiffanyparkwatchdogs@hotmail.com. You are going to love your day as a WatchDOG, and your kids will too.
