Tonight’s Agenda Brief History of WatchD.O.G.S. What to Expect Virtual Tour of Our School How to Sign Up

A Brief History

WatchD.O.G.S. Founded by Jim Moore, a concerned father in Springfield, Arkansas, who chose to take action in response to a 1998 middle-school shooting in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Watch D.O.G.S joined with the National Center for Fathering in 2006. Adopted by Huebner Elementary in 2008.

Why we do what we do! Studies show that POSITIVE MALE INVOLVEMENT results in: Fewer Behavior Problems Lower Substance Abuse or Criminality Higher Self Esteem Better Academic Performance Improved Ability to Focus Overall improvement in Life Satisfaction for kids *Strong Fathers-Strong Families, LLC

Program Benefits Students gain positive male role models. Schools gain an extra set of eyes and ears. The presence of a father or father figure will provide an additional deterrent to bullying, enhance a sense of security in the building, and will help to create an environment conducive to learning. Fathers get a glimpse of their students’ everyday world and learn about the increasingly complex challenges and decisions today’s youth are facing. As a result, they can learn to relate better to their student and hopefully connect with them. Fathers gain a greater awareness of the positive impact they can have on their student’s life in three critical areas including: academic performance, self-esteem, social behavior.
