Parents, Grandparents and friends are invited.

Watch D.O.G.S

WATCH D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) fathers and father-figures make a positive impact on Willow Springs students by volunteering to help out at school.

This is how it works:

  2. At the front-office visitor computers, sign in as a PTA volunteer to get a name badge.

  3. Let the front office staff know you're there to volunteer with WATCH D.O.G.S. They will provide a WATCH D.O.G.S. t-shirt and rules lanyard. As a reference, here are the lunch & recess times should you want to volunteer during those times:
