Watch D.O.G.S.

Derby Hills Elementary Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students) is a family and community engagement educational initiative. The goal of the Watch D.O.G.S. program is to provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating through their presence that education is important. WATCH D.O.G.S., a K-12 program, invites fathers, grandfathers, uncles, or other father figures to volunteer at least one day at their child's/student’s school during the school year. Fathers and father figures can sign up to volunteer using the form below.

The program is overseen by a “Top D.O.G.S.” volunteer team who partners with the school administrator to coordinate scheduling and identify opportunities for Watch D.O.G.S. to assist at the school. Watch D.O.G.S. dads and volunteers perform a variety of tasks during their volunteer day including monitoring the school entrance, assisting with unloading and loading of buses and cars, monitoring the lunch room, or helping in the classroom with a teacher’s guidance by working with small groups of students on homework, flashcards or spelling.
