FREE PRESCHOOL SCREENING - AGES 3-5
Blue Ridge School District #18 will conduct free preschool screenings on April 11 and 12 at Schneider Elementary School, 309 N John St, Farmer City, Illinois. The developmental screening is for children who are 3 or 4 years old at the time of the screening. Children who turn 5 on or before September 1, 2024, are not eligible for the screening. Please allow up to 2 hours for the screening. We ask you not to bring other children with you since you will be asked to join us during your child’s appointment. Parents will be asked to complete an information packet and return it to the school a week before the appointment.
Please call Mary at the Schneider Office (309)928-2611 to schedule an appointment or ask any questions. Thank you!

For the safety of our students, no students will be permitted to leave or enter BRIJHS until we are given an all clear by law enforcement.
