Complete Voly Check👕 T-Shirts
Look the Part! Need an official Watch D.O.G.S. t-shirt? You'll have the option to purchase one before you volunteer. We highly encourage wearing it so you are easily recognized as an official hero of the hallway by our students and staff.
If you can, please donate $20 to cover the cost of the t-shirt to PTA via Venmo or PayPal (note: WatchDOGS shirt).
⏰ Your Watch D.O.G.S. Schedule:
- The Timeframe: We welcome your arrival at 7:20 AM. You are free to leave after your child's lunch, but you are always invited to stay for the full school day!
- Before You Arrive: Prior to your shift, the Coordinator will email you an orientation overview and a sample schedule.
- Teacher Notice: Nichols Elementary will proactively let your child's teacher know you'll be on campus.
👟 What to Expect
-
What You'll Do: Expect an active day! You might play at recess, assist coaches in the gym, read in the library, or help keep the campus safe and secure.
-
The Vibe: The kids love having you at Nichols. Bring your energy, smile a lot, and get ready to dish out tons of encouragement!
-
Seeing Your Student(s): We do our best to ensure you see your child throughout the day. If you have multiple students, we’ll provide schedules for both grade levels so you can split your time..or better yet, volunteer for a second day!
If you need to change your day, that's okay! Please reflect your schedule change in the Sign-up Genius as soon as possible so we can give someone else the opportunity to volunteer in your original time slot.
If you have any questions, email us at watchdogs@nicholspta.org.
Thank You to Our WatchDOGS! You are welcome to sign up for as many days as you'd like. Know another dad, uncle, or grandpa who would be great at this? Recruit them to volunteer, too! Together, we can make a lasting impact on Nichols Elementary.
