Our playground just got even better! Thanks to the incredible support of our PTA, two brand-new gaga ball pits have been installed and are already a huge hit with students. Kids have jumped right in—literally—and the excitement and energy they’ve brought to recess has been fantastic to see. Gaga ball is fast-paced, inclusive, and just plain fun, making it a great addition to our outdoor play spaces.

We are grateful to our PTA for making this possible and to all of our families who have supported fundraising efforts throughout the year. Your generosity continues to create meaningful, engaging opportunities for our students. Thank you for helping make Buffalo Point such a great place for kids!

Circles Davis County will be hosting an upcoming Open House for families interested in learning more about their program. Circles is a free community-based program designed to support individuals and families in overcoming barriers and working toward long-term stability, with resources, goal-setting support, and even free childcare available.

The Open House will be held on April 23 at 6:00 PM at Clearfield Community Church (525 E 200 S, Clearfield). This is a great opportunity to learn more, ask questions, and see if the program is a good fit for your family. See the attached flyer.

Class placement consideration forms may be completed in the office after spring break. We will accept forms through the end of April. The purpose of these forms is to help us better understand students to aid in placement for 2026-2027. It is not a request for a specific teacher. We use many kinds of student data, including academic and behavioral considerations, to create balanced classrooms for optimal learning.

Teacher retirements, transfers, and changes in teacher assignment make specific teacher requests not feasible. Please be aware that all information included on these forms will be shared with teachers.

The DSD early childhood programs have begun registering for next year. Please see the flyer below for information. If you know people who would not receive this newsletter but have interest in preschool, please refer them to the DSD Early Childhood Office: 801-402-5409 or https://www.davis.k12.ut.us/o/dsd/page/early-childhood-programs

We would love parent support with these upcoming events. Use the links for each to sign up where you can. As a reminder, all volunteers, including field trip chaperones, must have a DSD background check. Use this link to schedule yours: https://calendly.com/dsdfingerprinting
