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.
Who are the WatchDOGS?
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.
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.
1. Fill out the RRISD Volunteer Application Form
All volunteers that will be interacting with students on campus MUST complete the RRISD volunteer application form each school year. This is separate from the Watch DOGS registration form below. If you have not completed the application for the current school year, please do so before volunteering at the school. CLICK HERE TO APPLY
2. Register to be a WatchDOG at Deep Wood
We encourage all WatchDOG volunteers to wear an official Watch D.O.G.S. shirt on the days that they volunteer. This is a way to identify yourself when you are up at the school, and it lets the students and teachers know that a WatchDOG is in the building! Yeah, it's kind of a big deal.
