Welcome to the Spring Ridge Watch D.O.G.S.

(Dads of Great Students)

The Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) program is an educational initiative of the National Center for Fathering. The primary goals of the program are to provide positive male role models who show respect for education and to enhance school security and reduce bullying.

Our Goal For Your Day:

• You’ll help in your child’s class during lunch/recess, special class, and homeroom.
• You’ll be productive – not merely observing but working with the children one-on-one, in small groups, or with the entire class.
• You’ll enjoy yourself and want to come back.

Now Sign Up!

Click the button below to sign up for our Watch D.O.G.S. Dad of the Day in 2019! We have plenty of spots available. Your children (and their friends!) will love having you at school!

Sign ups are open for January 2019-May 2019. We may change some dates in April and May depending on needs for the Artist In Residence Program. We will post updates as they come available!

What You Need to Do to Participate:

• You’ll need Child Abuse History and Criminal Background History clearances (free for school volunteers/online and paper applications). If you haven’t lived in PA for the past ten years, you’ll also need an FBI Background Check.
• Clearances must be dated from the beginning of this school year and are good for five years.
• Bring originals to school. We’ll make copies.
