1. What is Mavs Men?
Mavs Men is a program for father figures who volunteer at the school.
2. Why do we need Father figures at the school?
There are many benefits to having the program, including an added sense of security at the school and an extra pair of eyes to help reduce bullying. The Mav Man can get a small glimpse of what their child’s day is like, and overall, the Mavs men provide a positive role model to the students.
3. What can I expect to do when I volunteer?
When you volunteer for a half or full day, you will arrive at school and announce yourself with your student. So the whole school knows that a Mavs man is on campus for the day! Then you will help mainly with drop off/carpool, lunch/recess duty, and within the classrooms and specials including your own student’s class throughout the day. The Mavs Men Coordinator will try their best to customize the daily schedule to your student’s schedule. So you can experience and be with your student during lunch/recess and their classroom. The set schedule will be provided to you in the morning which will guide you through the day.
4. What can I bring? Do I need to wear anything special?
You are welcome to bring in your coffee/tea, refillable water bottle, and lunch/snack. Lunch can also be available at the cafeteria if you wish, but you will have to make sure you notify the Mavs Men Coordinator so we can promptly notify the cafeteria and the teacher.
A Mavs Men shirt will be provided for you once you sign up for a Full or Half day on campus and your Voly application and PTA membership are verified. This will help you easily identify yourself with all the students and faculty.
5. My work schedule doesn’t allow me to help during a full or half day, but I still want to volunteer. Can I still be a part of the Mavs Men program?
Yes, of course you can! We are always looking for volunteers at school and PTA events that are after school hours or on special days. Please keep in touch with your Mavs Men Coordinator to make sure you are on the proper mailing lists to be able to be notified about volunteer opportunities.
