November is a month for feeling thankful and honoring the work our staff do each day! Let's give them a "Standing Ovation!"

We know you’ve experienced a Buhler Schools employee going above and beyond for you, a student, a parent, a peer, or a community member! Please help us recognize that employee by completing this "Standing Ovation" nomination form.

Each nominee will get a certificate of appreciation with your kind and uplifting words on the back.

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.

Cindy Couchman, Superintendent

Buhler USD 313 is looking to grow our substitute pool for the 25/26 school year. Substituting is a great job for those looking to make their own schedule and make a difference in the lives of students and teachers. Teachers particularly value quality substitutes so they can get well when they are sick, hone their craft at professional development, attend appointments and events, and ensure they don't need to cover for their colleagues during their prep time.

Thank you for considering this crucial role. Please share this opportunity with friends and family who may be interested! Apply online here: https://www.applitrack.com/buhlerschools/onlineapp/default.aspx?Category=Substitute+Teacher
