The Bulldog's Woof

Today was the 3rd day of school, and the routines of the new school year are well under way! Some tips & tricks as we move ahead: (1.) DAY 4 Wednesday, 9/9, will be the first Day 4 of our school year. For our new students, it is important to note that means your half-cycle classes will switch over for the first time. Check your schedule for Day 4 and you'll notice that 2 half-cycle "elective" classes will be new courses with new teachers in different classrooms. Make sure you know where you're going, and don't be afraid to ask for help finding a new room location! (2.) MORNING TRAFFIC Traffic is improving quickly in our driveway. Please note: Morning dropoff should begin as soon as you're over the speed bump at the latest! Folks are used to waiting to pull down in front of the building, but traffic flows much faster when you unload earlier. Cars should be unloading all the way through the highlighted yellow section in the map. Frequently Asked Questions...

PTO is a great source of information for the school's events, but also what to expect during your child's middle school experience, either because parents have been through it with older kids, or we can share what we're doing to build some strategies together.  Subscribe to the South PTO Facebook page if you haven't a...
