School administrators
We provide the tools and the system.You make the rules.
Thank you for your support of the WATCH D.O.G.S.® program on your campus. WATCH D.O.G.S.® is a national initiative founded in 1998 to inspire more positive male role models to show all students by our participation that education is important.
The program
Who are WatchDOGS (Dads Of Great Students)?
The program has been launched on over 8,800+ campuses through collaboration between school administrators and local communities across 49 states in the U.S. and four countries worldwide, representing millions of volunteer shifts by parents, guardians, and community members.
Every campus Program Coordinator and Top D.O.G.S. Team acknowledges and adheres to the Important Program Guidelines, but the volunteer policy on your campus is yours. We do not interfere in any way. WATCH D.O.G.S.® volunteers are present only to serve.
To school administrators
Getting your campus set up.
We realize many of your campuses have had programs in the past, or administrators move from one campus with a program to a new campus without. We require that all program campuses be registered with the national WATCH D.O.G.S.® office. Please contact us to get your unique school code, allowing for the purchase of training, uniforms, and promotional items in our DOGStore to help promote the program on your campus.
If you need to get a Startup Kit to launch your new program, the optional renewal kit to keep your program going, or you need the program coordinator tools to get a program back on track, call our office or email 1-888-540-3647 or info@dadsofgreatstudents.com.
If you have yet to take the free online training (required before on-boarding as an official program campus), or you would like your Top D.O.G.S. team to review the materials, you can find them here.
