Watch D.O.G.S

Calling all Colina Dads!


Picture
Become one of the Colina Watch D.O.G.S. 
​
(Dads of Great Students) is an innovative program used by schools across America to increase the involvement and presence of dads during the school day. 
​
WATCH D.O.G.S. ®  is a family and community engagement educational initiative. There are 2 primary goals of the WATCH D.O.G.S. ® program.
  • To provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is important.
  • To provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce

WATCH D.O.G.S.® began in 1998 in a single school in Springdale, Arkansas and has since grown into a nationally recognized program that has brought hundreds of thousands of fathers and father figures into the school classrooms and hallways across the country, creating millions of hours of “in school” volunteer time and having a tremendously positive impact on the educational process.

Watch D.O.G.S. Sign-Up
During the day, WatchDOGS 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 WatchDOG dramatically reduces reports of bullying. On the day of your participation, WatchDOGS are given a brief review of their involvement and can wear an official WATCH D.O.G.S. ® t-shirt identifying them as WatchDOGS. These t-shirts can be purchased via this
