ABOUT THE WATCH D.O.G.S. 

The WATCH D.O.G.S.® program is one of the nation’s largest and most respected school-based, family, and community engagement, organizations designed and developed by educators, experts and parent & guardian volunteers over more than two decades.

Our programs for Elementary and Secondary School campuses help provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is important. Meanwhile, we provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security, reduce bullying and provide a greater sense of campus safety allowing students and teachers to focus on learning and instruction. 

WHO ARE THE WATCH D.O.G.S.?  

WATCH D.O.G.S 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. Many school principals have reported that the mere presence of a WATCH D.O.G.S. 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 WATCH D.O.G.S.

WHAT ARE OUR GOALS?

  1. To provide positive male role models for our students.

  2. To provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce bullying.

  3. To bring South Side, Greene-Hills, and West Bristol father figures together to build a stronger community and to build better men.

  4. To offer our students and families activities and experiences that will enrich their time at South Side, Greene-Hills, and West Bristol Schools.
