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.

One of the most wonderful things about our Buhler school community is the support and partnership we have with our families.
As educators, we need your help to speak with your students regarding the latest TikTok trend. Last month, our schools had some damage done to bathrooms from the September challenge. Our priority is to keep students and staff safe in all situations and have pride in our school and community. Several of the challenges are criminal and could be prosecuted. Please talk to your student about these and the consequences of participating.
We are thankful for our awesome students and families. I have confidence that through proactive communication and support, our staff and students can continue to excel in a safe learning environment.
