Calling all Watch DOGS!! (Dads and Father Figures)

Are you a dad, an uncle, a grandparent, or a father figure? Are you interested in volunteering but not sure how you can help!

We could use your help with the following:

  • On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of every week we would love to have our dads and father figures help us in the library anytime between 7:00-7:45 am for SWARM time. During SWARM time, students are working on online interventions and the library is open for parents to check out books! Come and help be an extra set of eyes and help in any way you'd like.
  • Between 7:00-8:00 am: Greet our students in the morning any day of the week! Where? Near the front drive, by the front office near the security lobby, by the bus loop, in the cafeteria, in the gym, anywhere! Even if you're only available for a few minutes, we could use your help and our students and staff would love to have you!
  • Join your child's grade level or ANY grade level during recess time! You can lead a game of soccer, basketball, four-square, etc!  We can always use more adults to assist with monitoring our playgrounds! Recess takes place between 8:30-11:20 am. For specific recess times, visit your teacher's weekly newsletter.
  • Assist students as they go through the cafeteria line and hang out with our students as they eat lunch!
  • Monitor our hallways and help us by patrolling the exterior of our campus at any time of the day.
  • Assist with dismissal at the bus loop or at the front drive. Give students high fives and fist bumps on their way out of the building between 2:30-3:15 pm.
  • For specific classroom activities, reach out to your child's teacher with ideas on how you'd like to volunteer in the classroom.
  • If you have other ideas about how you would like to volunteer, reach out to us! Email Manuel.Benavides@nisd.net or Julie.Meneses@nisd.net
