Raising Eagles

Raising Eagles, previously known as Parent University, aims to enhance the collaboration between home and school by supporting parents and caregivers as partners, advocates, and continuous learners in their child's education. Raising Eagles will offer a range of events, including in-person sessions and webinars, throughout the district. Sessions will generally focus on specific age groups to ensure relevance to your needs.

Our aim is for Allen High School graduates to become:

• Effective Communicators
• Responsible and Engaged Citizens
• Effective Problem Solvers
• Academically Prepared for Future Pursuits

Each quarter, all families will receive a newsletter that focuses on one key aspect of our graduate profile. This quarter, we are concentrating on helping our students become responsible and engaged citizens.

We hope these newsletters provide valuable support and guidance for you at home. We recognize that parenting can be challenging, and we are here to partner with and support you every step of the way.

Being a responsible and engaged citizen helps students grow personally and academically while contributing to a better community.
