We have received permission from law enforcement to move students in and out of BRIJHS/Mansfield. The impacted buses will be running on an approximate 30 minute delay. Thank you!
We have been notified by FC police that there has been a fire and explosion a few blocks away from BRIJHS. A subject is currently at large. 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. No shuttle buses will run between Mansfield and FC until further notice. We will continue to communicate via these channels as soon as we have more information. Thank you.

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.

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.
