We are expecting wind chills of -16 degrees at 8:00 tomorrow morning. When considering a delay due to cold weather, I weigh out many situations, vehicles starting, buses starting, students at bus stops, students walking and our staff who have to stand out in the cold for 30 minutes doing student drop off lanes. I am confident our buses will start but I would prefer not to have students and staff outside in this bitter cold. This decision for Monday is a tricky one.
However, due to the bitter wind chills in the morning hours, Buhler USD #313 will NOT have school on Monday, January 26th.

It will warm up nicely throughout the day so our basketball teams traveling to Salina in the afternoon will continue as scheduled. A decision on practices will be made before noon tomorrow and communicated through your student's coaches.

All activities for Saturday and Sunday (January 24-25) have been cancelled due to anticipated weather conditions. Athletic activities scheduled for Friday evening will continue as planned. Buhler facilities will be closed to outside practices and events on Saturday and Sunday. These decisions are being made with the safety of our students, staff, and community in mind. Keeping traffic out of parking lots and off sidewalks will also help ensure safe and efficient snow removal.

Good Morning,
The Reno County Fire Department is on scene of a fire this morning. Due to that, 56th Street from Tobacco Road to Hiway 61 is closed. Please find an alternate route to school this morning.
Families that live in that area may notice buses running a little late. Reno County anticipates it being open after noon today. If it remains closed after school another notice will be sent.
Thank you,
Cindy Couchman, Superintendent

Today our teachers are learning from Dr. Jenni Donohoo, expert and author of many works on collective efficacy. Collective efficacy has been identified by a large body of research as having the HIGHEST potential to accelerate learning that we can effect as educators. Collective efficacy is the team’s confidence in the team’s competence. When we believe in each other, we can take student learning to its highest level. Thank you Dr. Donohoo for joining us, and thank you to Crosspoint Church for allowing us to use your facility to meet as a whole staff! #BetterTogether #Bexceptional

Dear Buhler Community,

We know that many individuals and families in our school community are feeling the strain of rising costs, reduced benefits, and the upcoming holiday season. During times like these, the strength of our Buhler community truly shines when we come together to care for one another.

Beginning next week, we invite families and community members who are able to do so to donate a “Meal in a Bag” to help provide food support for others in our community. Each meal includes simple ingredients that can be found via the “dinner in a bag” link located on this document: https://5il.co/3rtj9. You will also see additional food resources for those in need. See the picture for one example of these meals.

Donations may be dropped off at any Buhler school, the district office, or sent with your student beginning Tuesday, November 4th. At this time, we will accept meal in a bag donations through Thanksgiving break. Meal kits will be sent home with families who have requested food support via an internal and confidential survey.

Thank you for embodying what it means to be part of the Buhler family, a community that cares deeply for one another.
