**FREE online tutoring for children in grades K-12 and college prep. Get Real-time help and find resources 24/7. Visit www.myarmyonesource.com/cyss_tutor for more information and to register for your pass code via email. Subjects supported are all grade levels of math, science, English, and social studies.

**For those that are living in Eagle Point (more specific, North Eagle Point), as you may realize bus service for children attending Partridge Elementary is no longer available because the housing area is located within 1 mile from the school. For the safety of the children who are walking, they need to follow the signs that have been erected in that area to the school. Last year bus service was a courtesy due to construction.
