Cedar Wood Watch D.O.G.S.
Cedar Wood encourages all dads and other male adult volunteers to become Watch D.O.G.S. This national program is another way that parent volunteers serve the school. Dads and other adult male volunteers spend the entire day at school greeting students as they arrive, assisting in classrooms and helping supervise lunch and recesses. Many dads sign up on their child's birthday.
There are three easy steps to serving as a Watch Dog at Cedar Wood.
Step 1 - Become an approved Everett School District Volunteer
Every volunteer at Cedar Wood must have current approval from the Everett School District. Unapproved volunteers will be turned away until they have completed the process. Approvals are good for two years. If you are uncertain of your approval status you may contact Kira Reynolds, Office Support at kreynolds@everettsd.org. If you have not yet applied for volunteer approval or if your approval has expired you will need to apply to be a School Day Volunteer by completing the district volunteer form at this link: https://www.applitrack.com/everettsd/onlineapp/_application.aspx?starting=true
Step 2 - Pick a date with PTA Watch D.O.G.S
Cedar Wood can host up to two Watch D.O.G.S. volunteers each day. Please give us at least two weeks' notice to allow a schedule to be created for your visit and give the teachers a heads-up. Once you've made a choice please email the PTA Watch DOGS Gevin Frey and Mike Scott chairperson at WatchDOGS@CedarWoodPTA.org . If your availability changes please email WatchDOGS@CedarWoodPTA.org and you will be removed from the schedule.
Step 3 - Enjoy your day at school
Please arrive at school at 8:45 AM and report to the Front Office. Office Staff will provide you with the official Watch D.O.G.S. vest, a name badge, and your schedule for the day. You will enjoy a full day on campus including lunch with your student(s). Watch D.O.G. volunteer time ends at 3:30PM Monday - Thursday, 2:15PM on Fridays. On Early Release days, volunteer time ends at 1:00PM.
