Buhler Staff and Families, Our district is struggling with keeping our buildings cool and we have a few systems down after the storm last night. Due to the extreme heat, Buhler Schools will dismiss 2 hours early again today, Friday, August 14th. Our buildings will run the same schedule as we had yesterday with the two hour dismissal. Cares Club will operate as normal as their area is not affected. Cindy Couchman, Superintendent

Buhler Schools is sharing important information regarding cell phones and social media. Our goal is to provide an exceptional learning experience for our community of learners while complying with the law. Below you will find both the "why" behind the law along with answers to a few Frequently Asked Questions you may be having as school starts. Schools will operate under a "See it. Hear it. Take it." approach regarding student cell phone use.

We appreciate your support of our staff and students as we recognize change can be difficult but we welcome any opportunity to grow and improve. Buhler Schools is committed to providing a safe, focused and positive learning environment for all students. Please see the graphics attached or for better viewing, use the links below.

Remember to stop by our retirement reception for Laura Meyer Dick this evening at the Burkholder Administrative Center. Laura is retiring after serving our school board for 17 years!

retirement reception

47 days of serving breakfasts and lunches is coming to an end this week. As of last Friday, they have served 50,192 lunches and 50,192 breakfasts which means we served an average of 1067 students every day.

They have served in the rain and the heat (boy howdy!) and always with a smile on their face. We hope you have enjoyed and appreciated them as much as we have enjoyed serving you.

HOWEVER - all good things must come to an end - at least until next year. The last day for summer meals at our 2 locations (BHS and UV) will be THURSDAY, July 30th. On Thursday, students will receive lunches and breakfasts for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday so come with a way of transporting meals if you are picking up for a larger group!

As part of the Buhler Frolic, USD 313 will host a 5K! The event will be on the morning of September 26th 2026.

While we welcome competitive runners, the course is designed for any and all: runners, joggers, walkers, walkers-talkers.

It's an untimed event, as we will not have staff to time participants as they finish. Our goal is to provide an active and fun start to your morning before partaking in the Buhler Frolic! We will also lead a One Mile walk as a short, laid-back way to participate.

Please see the flyer here for details AND use the LINK below to register for the race. Registrations are due by August 21st.

Registration: https://sfnd.io/v2zyn.

Planning a family vacation, appointment, or special trip this school year?

With 170 student attendance days on the academic calendar, every day of learning matters. To help families plan ahead, we've created a USD 313 Vacation Planner that highlights major school breaks throughout the year.

The complete district calendar is always available at:
https://www.usd313.org/documents/about-us/one-page-calendars/222963

This planner is intended as a quick reference for students and families. Some listed breaks include teacher and staff work days when students are not in attendance.
