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 improving students' communication skills.

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.

Effective communication helps students succeed by making instructions clearer, boosting their interest in learning, and improving teamwork with classmates and teachers.

Caring is at the heart of effective communication. It involves understanding, empathy, and kindness in our interactions with others. Here’s how you can nurture this trait in your child:

• Model Caring Behavior: Demonstrate how to show care through your actions. Small acts of kindness, empathy, and respect set a powerful example.

• Discuss the Impact of Caring: Talk about how caring behaviors positively affect relationships and contribute to a supportive and positive environment.

• Encourage Empathy: Use real-life scenarios to discuss feelings and encourage your child to consider others’ perspectives and emotions.
