🚨 Important Safety Update for Parents 🚨 Dear Parents and Guardians, We want to inform you of an incident that occurred today at our Manlius Campus. As a precautionary measure, all students and staff were safely evacuated due to unusually high readings of carbon dioxide detected in our building. The safety and well-being of our students and staff are our top priorities. Emergency services were immediately contacted, and professionals are currently assessing the situation. We are working closely with them to ensure that the building is safe before anyone re-enters. Please be assured that all students are safe accounted for and dismissed normally. Brainstorm students have been relocated to the Central Office where they will continue normal programming. We will provide further updates as soon as more information is available. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in ensuring the safety of our school community. Bureau Valley Administration Team

Youth Service Bureau of Illinois Valley (YSB) is a child welfare agency. The agency’s foster care program helps provide services to over 600 children in care. They cover over 20 different counties. Children in care range from newborn to 18 years old. They come from a variety of different cultures and backgrounds. Some children may be mentally or physically disabled, have a variety of medical issues, or suffer from years of trauma. There are some children in care who lack a supporting and loving home. Which is why their agency is in desperate need of new foster homes and are reaching out to our community for support. Opening up your home to a child in care is both rewarding and educational. If you would like to learn more about how to become a licensed foster parent, please reach out to YSB at 630-820-6303 or email us at contactus@ysbiv.org. You can be the one to provide support and love to a child in need.
