Taking Elm Grove’s Eagles to New Heights—One Dad at a Time


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

 

Your Flight Plan:

 

Mission Phase What You'll Do
Pre-Flight Check
Morning/Afternoon Briefing
  • Check in at the front office, grab your "Eagle Squadron: badge, and depending on full day or half day you will be given directions. 
On-Campus Possible Missions:
  • Greet students during arrival 
  • Encourage positive play and have fun with the students at recess 
  • Step into classrooms if a teacher has a need or something fun for you to do to help 
  • Go to your students specials*
Mess Hall Meetup
  • Enjoy lunch with your student -- then chat with their classmates who think having a dad on campus is the coolest thing ever. You can start your day with your Childs lunch time if you prefer and bring lunch. 
Debrief & Dismissal 
  • Share any quick wins with the front office, return your bad, and head out knowing you made an impact. 

 

*Art, music, PE, library—wherever your child’s schedule takes you.

 

 

Why Enlist?

  • Boost Student Confidence – A dad’s presence inspires kids to try harder, laugh louder, and feel safer.

  • Model Leadership – Show every Eagle how grown‑ups listen, encourage, and solve problems.

  • Build Family Memories – Lunch in the cafeteria > lunch at your desk.

  • Strengthen School Safety – Extra caring adults keep eyes on hallways and hearts on students.

Frequently Asked (Flight) Questions

 

Do I have to stay the entire school day?
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. 

Can I volunteer more than once?
Absolutely! Fly as often as you like; just repeat the sign‑up process.

I’m not a sports guy—what if recess makes me nervous?
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?
Choose a date now; we can reschedule if life throws turbulence your way.
