WATCH D.O.G.S. brings dads, granddads, uncles, and father figures onto campus to be positive male role models and an extra set of helping hands. Volunteers spend a day at school helping in classrooms, hallways, the cafeteria, and at recess — and our students love it.

How to get involved:

• Be a Spradley PTO member and complete the PISD background check (required each year).
• Sign up for an available day/time
• Order your WATCH D.O.G.S. t-shirt

F.A.Q.

Q. If I served last year, am I required to purchase another t-shirt?

A. No, you can wear your shirt from last year!

Q. If I completed my PISD background check last year, do I need to do it again?

A. YES!! This district requires all volunteers to complete the PISD Volunteer Application (background check) annually.

Q: If I sign up, do I have to serve or volunteer a minimum amount of time?

A: No, there are no minimum requirements to sign up. We would love to have you participate as much as you can! Each opportunity is a maximum time investment of 30-45 minutes.

Q. Can moms or other female figures participate in Watch DOGS?

A. Of course! We recognize that our M.O.M.S. (Moms of Marvelous Students) bring essential perspectives and experiences to our school community. Since the majority of our volunteers are MOMS, Watch DOGS is a targeted effort to get more dads and male figures involved in ways that are meaningful to them.

Q. Are there any other Watch DOGS merchandise items available, like a dry-fit shirt option or hat?

A. These items must be ordered by Spradley PTO/Spradley Admin, so we plan to offer a pre-order option for some additional items.
