Just realized we missed posting our January MVPs. Here they are--we are proud of these students of the month.
We're a month away from our kindergarten registration. Please help us get the word out about kindergarten registration on February 28, 2:00 - 4:00. Bring the following: birth certificate, proof of immunizations, 2 proofs of residency, and $25 optional donation for snacks (cash, card, or check). Thanks!
We need lots of volunteers next week.
We have grand week, the book fair, and parent teacher conferences. We would love to have these events supported with volunteers.
Please use these links to sign up to volunteer. Thank you.

Syracuse and West Point Families-
The application dual-language immersion is live for the upcoming school year. We are fortunate to have two dual-language immersion schools in our community. Syracuse Elementary offers Chinese, and Buffalo Point Elementary offers Spanish.
If your child will be a first-grader next year, we hope you’ll consider applying for dual-language immersion. Students entering higher grades may be eligible but must pass a language test. You can access the application and information about dual-language immersion here: https://www.davis.k12.ut.us/o/dsd/page/elementary-dual-language-immersion.
For the final day of second term, we enjoyed our annual sing-along. We appreciate Mrs. Olsen's talent at the piano. It was fun to have a couple of visitors, with Santa and the Grinch joining Chip the Buffalo. Some students went all out with their hair or attire in honor of Grinch day. Have a merry Christmas and a great holiday from Buffalo Point.
Thank you Zion's Bank Syracuse branch. Some of our students created ornaments for their branch Christmas tree. We got to go and decorate the tree. They also have a $100 donation to Buffalo Point.

In the newsletter today, please note an important safety reminder. In our drop off and pick up line, we have seen students that want to cross to get into a car that is waiting in the line. This means they have to cross traffic and then possibly pass between parked cars to reach a vehicle.
This is dangerous and needs to be addressed. Students should wait until their vehicle is right in front of the school so they can go straight from the sidewalk into a vehicle.
If it feels like the pick up line is taking too long, feel free to find a different spot for loading and unloading. Southeast of the school along Doral is an alternative that some have found helpful.
The slide was in high demand today. Our sweet little kindergartners were so good at taking turns and created a line all by themselves.
