Watch D.O.G.S.

Be a part Of Watch D.O.G.S at Cedar Wood

Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) is a volunteer program aimed at increasing the presence of fathers (and father figures) in schools to serve as positive male role models.  

WATCH D.O.G.S.® (Dads Of Great Students) is an innovative, educational initiative that involves fathers and father figures to enhance the educational environment in our nation’s schools. Watch DOGs volunteer to spend a day at Cedar Wood in a variety of school activities—helping in the classroom, playing at recess, and squeezing into tiny tables at lunch. Serving as a Watch DOG is a fun way to spend time with your child(ren) while also supporting the school as a volunteer.

Cedar Wood is one of over 2,200 schools across 42 states that make up the national program. Each year at our school more than 125 dads and other men important to our students commit to one day serving on campus and spending time with the kids.

Who can serve as a Watch Dog? Fathers, grandfathers, step-fathers, uncles, and other father figures serving at least one day on campus each year under the leadership of a program coordinator and under the guidance of a school principal or designated administrator.
