A special message from BJSHS Health Careers teacher Mrs. Yvette Rouch: Thank you to the First Presbyterian Church of Hartford City for donating hygiene supplies to the Health Career's Bear Necessities hygiene program. Cabinets are placed in areas of the school that allow students access to free hygiene products, as well as basic school supplies that might be needed. Thank you again for your generosity! ❤️

We need your help.
Last school year, we had way too many stop arm violations. (People driving on by when a bus has its stop-arm out.)
Someone is going to get hurt... and we don't want it to be one of our students. We ask everyone to pay close attention when our buses are stopped. If the stop-arm is out, it means STOP!🛑
We're BACK... and it's going to be a GREAT school year!
#BackInBlackford
Thank you to all our students and their families who stopped by the Meet the Teacher Night at the BIS. We sure appreciate you and hope everyone has a great first day back at school!
