Taking Eagles to new Heights!

Eagle Squadron Dads is a PTA initiative that invites fathers, step‑dads, grandfathers, and father‑figures to spend a full or half school day on campus, cheering on every learner and modeling leadership in action.

Morning/Afternoon Briefing

On Campus Possible Missions:

  • Greet students during arrival

FAQs

Do I have to stay the entire school day?

1

No— but plan on 3-4 hours at a minimum. A full day plan is roughly 7:30 a.m.–2:45 p.m. That gives you time to hit every part of the schedule. If you opt for a half day depending on when you come options will be different. If you do not do a full day the 3-4 hours can start and stop anytime during the day as long as it is in between 7:30am-2:45am.  

Can I volunteer more than once?

2

Absolutely! Fly as often as you like; just repeat the sign‑up process for day selection. There is no need to re-do your background check within a calendar year or rejoin the PTA.

I’m not a sports guy—what if recess makes me nervous?

3

No worries. Your presence matters more than your jump‑shot. Pass out encouragement, help mediate playground rules, or simply cheer from the sidelines.

What if my job schedule is unpredictable?
