SOUTH PTO
Thank you to everyone who was able to join us this week for Joani Geltman’s presentation: Adolescent Psychology for Parents, sponsored by your South PTO!  It was an informative night full of useful tips for raising healthy, safe kids.  Check the South PTO Facebook page for follow-up information.  Below is one slide where Joani identified the “4 fights” you’re likely to get into with your teen, and gave strategies for handling each one… Make sure to ask someone who was there!  The February PTO meeting will be held next Tuesday, 2/12 and we hope everyone can join us!

TERM 2 REPORT CARDS
Term 2 report cards went home on 2/5.  Please sign & return one copy to your child’s homeroom teacher by Monday, 2/11.  If you have a question about your child’s grades, you should contact the teacher directly or reach out to the Guidance Counselor.  Report cards can be reprinted in the Main Office if “the dog ate it”!  Please note: Attendance totals were misreported on the printed report cards, but they are correct in Aspen. The calculation formula has been corrected and will print correctly on Term 3 report cards, but if you need a corrected printout for any reason, please contact the Main Office.  If you have a question about your child’s attendance, please contact their Guidance Counselor.

AMBASSADORS CLUB
The South Ambassadors are selling t-shirts this week to promote inclusion in Braintree.  T-shirts cost $12.  Contact Victoria Russo or Melissa Ricci with any questions.

PROJECT 351
Elisa Lizzaralde, Braintree’s ambassador to the Massachusetts Project 351 initiative, is organizing a clothing drive to support needy families through Cradles to Crayons.  Your clean, gently used clothing or new donations can be delivered to the South lobby through April 20th.  Students are also invited to write notes of encouragement and inspiration to families in need.  Anyone can write a note, draw a picture, or make a craft and deliver it to the “mailbox” on the side of Elisa’s donation bin!

SOUTH BULLDOGS
Congratulations to South Boys and Girls Basketball teams, who wrapped up their seasons this week.  The Jamboree versus East was a fun event with a split decision: East boys and South girls won their respective games.   The sportsmanship on display was a testament to “one Braintree” and welcome news for the high school coaches in the stands to scout the rising talent!  Congratulations also to all the students who auditioned to be South’s Bulldog mascot, and to the talented performers elected by their peers: Gavin Santana, Jami Daly, and Traevon Jones.  Go Bulldogs!

Wednesday Woof from South

  We are immensely proud of our 7th grade English teacher, Mrs. Christine Norris, who was honored last night at the Norfolk County Teachers' Association annual awards ceremony. Mrs. Norris was nominated by her colleagues for the NCTA Honor Award, saying:  Christine’s contributions to South are immeasurable. She is the type of person who, if she’s going to do something, she’s going to take the time to do it right. This year alone, she’s co-running the Grade 8 Washington, D.C. trip, co-creating the Yearbook, co-creating the Field Day Murder Mystery activity, co-running the South dance, and co-running the South Student Council, which this year was combined with the Community Service club because, you guessed it, she runs that, too! When you ask her about running all of these things, she humbly downplays her involvement. Don’t let her fool you--she’s one of the hardest-working teachers at South.  To be honest, even that extensive list of projects is incomplete; Mrs. Norris is...

Grade 8 Upcoming Events

Grade 8 Students & Caregivers: Next week, your child is scheduled to participate in an MCAS grade 8 Civics field test on Monday, 6/3 and Tuesday, 6/4. In order to administer a new grade 8 Civics test in the future, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education must try out new test questions before the test becomes operational and scores can be provided to parents, schools, and districts. Your child’s participation is important and allows the state to build a valid and reliable test by helping to ensure a representative sample of students from across the state.   On Monday, 6/10, the 8th grade is taking the annual end-of-year trip to Level99 in Natick. Please make sure you have filled out the Level99 waiver  AND  the school's online permission slip in ParentSquare in order to participate. Contact a team teacher with any questions. Grade 8 Appreciation Night will be held at South on Thursday, 6/13, beginning at 6:00 PM. Families and loved ones are invited to joi...

Opening the new South building

After years of planning, design, and construction, South Middle School will open its doors on September 6, 2023 to 5th grade through 8th grade in our new building!  This week, teachers got permission to start coming in to set up classrooms, and they have been dodging construction and subcontractor crews for the past few days, preparing their rooms and adding their personal touch to make the brand new spaces ready for the students.  The energy throughout the building is downright gleeful as folks see the light-filled classrooms, spacious hallways, and state-of-art facilities that will be supporting our students’ learning and growth going forward. Of course, the faculty is always excited to welcome a new class of scholars every fall, but this year takes that sense of rebirth and limitless possibility to a whole new level!  As eager as we are to welcome students and families to the new building, it is not yet safe to open our doors to the public. The construction team is put...
