The Texan Watch program is open to all Wimberley Valley community members, including WISD parents and other citizens. Members of the Texan Watch will have duties at the direction of the campus administration and can be in a variety of roles, with a primary focus of being an additional set of responsible eyes and ears on our campuses. A team member also might work at a variety of times, including at morning drop-off, lunch time, recess, afternoon pick-up, and/or at special events such as Grandparents’ Day, award ceremonies, pep rallies, field days, etc.
