Watch D.O.G.S
Elk Ridge will offer a program called Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students) Our goal is to get student's fathers (and father-figures) to take the time to volunteer one day a year in their child's school. Statistics show that by having fathers more involved, children develop more fully socially, physically, academically, and emotionally. When you volunteer it also shows your child that education is important to you.
If you would like to learn more about the program you can check out the official Watch D.O.G. website.
If you wish to volunteer, you will need to complete a volunteer form found in the Volunteer Handbook.
This process can take up to 2 weeks to get approved. Please plan accordingly when signing up for a volunteer time. If you have questions about the program, volunteering or signing up, please reach out to grayson_erling@bismarckschools.org, becky_riedinger@bismarckschools.org or erin_kwan@bismarckschools.org.
You can use the QR code below to sign up once your volunteer status is approved.
