Wishing you all a HAPPY HOLIDAY season from Union Valley!!!
Thankful for our students, staff and families!
See you again in 2022!!!
One of the most wonderful things about our Buhler school community is the support and partnership we have with our families.
Buhler Schools has become aware of a troubling post that has been shared widely this week on the social media platform TikTok. The post refers to a threat to school safety “for every school in the USA, even elementary,” on Friday, December 17. Currently, we are unaware of any threats about USD #313 schools or students.
The post appears to be part of a national TikTok trend and did not originate in our school district. We have heard reports from other districts that the same post is circulating in their schools. While we do not believe the threat to be credible, we are closely monitoring the situation and taking it seriously.
Additionally, the district has been in contact with our local law enforcement agencies regarding the post. We may have an increased police presence in our buildings on Friday as an added precaution.
This situation serves as a good example of why it is important to avoid sharing posts online that refer to school safety threats. Even if they are not credible threats, they can cause a great deal of stress and anxiety for our students, families, and staff. We ask our families to monitor their children’s social media activity and speak with them about proper behavior online.
If you become aware of any potential threat posted to social media or anywhere else, please notify your building administrator, law enforcement, or make a Suspicious Activity Report with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation at http://www.kbi.ks.gov/sar. You may also anonymously report threats of school violence to the Kansas School Safety Hotline. The number is 877-626-8203.
As always, thank you for your partnership as we work to ensure a safe, secure, and exceptional learning environment for our students.
Sincerely,
Cindy Couchman
Superintendent, Buhler Schools

First and Third Grade Music Program on Thursday, December 9th
Just a reminder on our two shows today!
1:45 PM for grandparents and extended family (doors will open at 1:30 PM)
7:00 PM for parents/family (doors will open at 6:45 PM)
We are NOT using our bleachers this year, as they need to be repaired or replaced. This impacts our capacity for programs, and is the reason for the two shows and recommendations for whom attends which show.

Buhler is proud to introduce the following framework that was collaboratively developed with our stakeholders.
The DNA of a Buhler Graduate is our way of emphasizing timeless character traits and skills with our students that will help them to navigate any obstacle in the future whether it be school, work, life, or relationships.
Below you will see a launch video with interviews from our teachers and administrators, as well as a link to the full DNA of a Buhler Graduate document. This document communicates all 10 of our DNA skills and traits and includes just a few ways these are addressed at each age as students grow through our schools.

This Wednesday, November 3rd, we will be hosting a Flu and COVID clinic in partnership with the Reno County Health Department. This clinic will be at Buhler High School from 1:00-5:00 and is open to all staff, students, and families. No appointment is necessary. See attached graphic for more information. Below are some FAQs you may have:
1. Is it safe to get the flu shot and the COVID shot/booster at the same time?
Yes.
2. What COVID booster is being offered?
Reno County Health Department will have all three available and you can choose which one you want.
3. Does it matter which COVID Booster you choose?
No. You are able to mix and match brands if you prefer or stay with the same one you originally received.
4. What ages can get the shot?
Flu Shots are available to all ages. COVID shots are available to ages 12 and up.
5. When will ages 5-11 have a clinic for the COVID shot?
We are working on scheduling one with the Reno County Health Department. There will be more information coming later.
6. What do I need to bring?
If you are getting the COVID booster, bring your vaccination card (shows dates of previous COVID shot). If you have insurance, bring a copy of your insurance card.
7. I can't make it Wednesday, what are my other options?
You can go to any pharmacy and ask for a flu shot or COVID booster. Buhler Schools will be scheduling more clinics later but no specific dates have been set yet.
8. If I have had COVID recently, do I need to wait 90 days to get the Booster?
There is no waiting period if they have had Covid, however, sometimes they may react to the vaccination with not feeling well stronger than someone who has not had Covid.
9. I had the monoclonal antibodies (this is an IV for patients diagnosed with COVID), do I need to wait 90 days to get the Booster?
Yes. You will need to wait 90 days if treated with monoclonal antibodies from having Covid.
