Thank you for joining us for summer meals today at BHS and Union Valley! Menus are available on our website and the Buhler app under our Live Feed section at the very top. The link there will remain and takes you to a folder with each month's menu. Here is the direct link: https://www.usd313.org/documents/services/food-service/lunch-menus/244390
Here is a screenshot showing the rest of the week.



Each child will receive a hot lunch and breakfast for the next day. Hutchinson residents, Union Valley Elementary is available this year to reduce your travel!

Help us thank our child care providers, including our Shining Stars Directors and assistants, as well as our partners at Kids Collective. They each contribute to the beginning of an exceptional experience for our littlest Crusaders!

We have watched them learn, play, and grow since they were little and we are so proud of the young adults they have become. Parents and families, thank you for entrusting us to share in their journey all these years!

Thank you for all you are doing this week, Teacher Appreciation Week, to celebrate our teachers and staff! We see the treats, gifts, and messages happening all over our district and it is a great reminder that our school community is the definition of exceptional.
Help us celebrate our teachers one more time as we share our Standing Ovation Award nominees! These staff were nominated by parents, students, and colleagues as deserving of acknowledgement for specific efforts.









Enrollment for returning students is now open for the 26/27 school year!
If your child currently attends a USD 313 school, please check your email for your unique registration link. There will be one email per student if you have multiple children enrolled. No fees will be charged at this time. Those will be applied to accounts in late July.
We would love for students to be enrolled as soon as possible as we plan for an exceptional year. Thank you for helping us with this process!

A special thank you to Deanna Herrin and Shannon Vieyra for steering the ship as teacher directors of our mentoring program. They bring a high level of credibility, relevance, and care that our new teachers and mentors benefit from so greatly.
Be sure to click through the photos to see the portraits that Mrs. Sarah Cherry's preschool students drew as a gift for each of our new teachers. The likenesses are uncanny!
