“Parents and families are the first and most important
teachers. If families teach a love of learning, it can make
all the difference in the world to the children.”
Fort Bliss and El Paso Area School Districts have come together to develop a Parent Satisfaction Survey. We want to hear feedback from Military parents with children in area schools to strengthen Military student transition and educational success.
Parents are invited to complete a survey for each school they have children attending. Parents will be able to provide feedback in the following areas:
- School Climate
- Curriculum and Instruction
- School Safety
- Home-school Communication
The survey will be available online at the following links:

Fort Bliss Parent Survey - Jr. High/Middle School http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NRJ99R5
Fort Bliss Parent Survey - High School http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NRNBFP9
The Parent Satisfaction Survey will be open for a 2-week time frame beginning Monday March 22. Questions regarding the Parent Survey can be directed to the School Liaison Office at 569-5064.

Child, Youth and School Services offers free online tutoring. Need homework help, have a paper due, want to take a practice test, need to speak directly to a live tutor in a one-to-one, 24/7 online classroom? These services and many others are available through Tutor.com, a free service for families and spouses of active, wounded, reserve component, National Guard and Army civilians (including survivors). Students of any age, in any grade – including kindergarten through 12th grade, college students and adult students – can get help in math, science, English and social studies.
How does it work? Army-affiliated students submit a one-time registration to obtain their CYSS pass code. Students can then use it to log in from home or from the CYSS Youth Technology Lab. They enter the grade level and subject they need help in and are then connected to the first available subject expert tutor in an online classroom. Students and tutors work together in an online classroom using controlled chat and an interactive white board. Students can send computer files, such as essays, to the tutor for review and assistance. They can also share educational websites. Log on to www.myarmyonesource.com/cyss_tutor to find out more about this free service for military families and to register.
For more information, contact CYSS Youth Education Support Services at bliss.yess@conus.army.mil or 568-2784.
