Marion Watch D.O.G.S.

Watch D.O.G.S. is a nationwide program to help dads and other father figures to participate with their children in their own schools. The Watch D.O.G.S. program was created in 1998, and has been implemented in over 6,000 schools nationwide.

 

To participate in the Watch D.O.G.S. program at Marion Elementary, you will need to do the following:

  1. Complete an Allen ISD background check to participate. This can take up to two weeks, and must be complete before the date of your Watch D.O.G.S. shift.
  2. Pick your Watch D.O.G.S. date here. You can now sign up for a full day or a half day shift either in the morning or afternoon.
  3. Purchase a Watch D.O.G.S. t-shirt. There are short-sleeved and long-sleeved versions available, and all prices and shipping information is available online.
  4. On the date of your Watch D.O.G.S. shift, please arrive at the school by 7:20 and check in with front desk. For afternoon shifts, show up at 12:50 and check in with the front desk.

When signing up for Watch D.O.G.S. shifts, please limit your sign-ups to a maximum of one per semester (once in the fall, and once in the spring). Since there are a limited number of days available, we want to ensure that all potential Watch DOGS have the opportunity to serve. Follow this  to sign up for a shift.
