Scottie+Dads

2012-13 "Scottie Dads" Tyler, Dad Jason & Zoe Montoya - Oct 31, 2011 It's time... A group just for the men of Highland Park who want to take a more active role on campus. The concept is not new. Several middle and high schools in the district are doing this, and Highland Park wanted in on the trend.

It's easy. You spend one full day volunteering at our school, helping keep our school safe and fun. You add to the eyes and ears that keep a watch on what goes on during those less structured times of the school day. You give high-fives and learn more about your child's daily interactions. Oh... and you also get to wear a new t-shirt!

Here's a typical schedule:

7:30-7:45 Traffic Duty - Welcome Students 7:45-8 Walk your student to class or make a guest appearance on the Morning Announcements 8 Brief Orientation with Mrs. Land 8:10-8:40 PE with 4th grade 8:45-9:30 Easy 1:1 math or reading activities with 1st grade students at hallway stations 9:30-10 1:1 activities with 2nd graders 10:15-45 PE with 5th grade 10:45-11:45 Cafeteria Duty (share lunch with your child) 12-12:30 Recess Duty 12:30-1 Break 1-1:30 3rd grade 1:1 activities 1:30-2:15 3rd & 4th Recess Duty 2:20-2:45 Kinder Bus Duty with Mrs. Land 2:45-3 Traffic Duty
