Waukegan Community Unit School District #60 is inviting all District 60 fathers and father figures to become more actively involved in their child’s education by taking part in a new parent organization: D60 Dads of Great Students (D.O.G.S)
D60 D.O.G.S. is open to all father figures with children enrolled in a District 60 school, who wish to create a more positive environment for all students. As part of the organization, dads will meet quarterly to discuss and engage in volunteer opportunities within individual buildings, as well as work with building administration to enhance key life skills and model healthy behaviors that can improve relationships in their child(ren's lives.
Ongoing training for fathers will include education and peer-peer support, with sessions focusing on communication, conflict resolution, and other relationship-building skills.
The group will host its first meeting Wednesday, March 2, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Green Town Tavern. Ahead of the meeting, we are asking all interested dads to first complete this interest form to help us better plan for the upcoming meeting
