March 7 Woof - Updates and new events

We've got some new events on the horizon, and some updates about the events discussed last week!


PTO Calendar Raffle 
  • Throughout the month of April, we will do a raffle drawing for some great prizes and gift cards from local businesses. This month, students are encouraged to sell as many raffle tickets as you can. See the attached calendar to learn about the great prizes!
  • Each ticket purchased gets you entered into the drawing for every raffle drawing in April! Every school day, there will be a raffle winner and the student who sold the winning ticket will also get a prize. On top of that, the student who sells the most tickets will win a prize from the PTO! Tickets cost $5 each, or you can get 3 for $12, or you can purchase 6 for $20 - a 20% discount!
  • Paper copies of these materials will be sent home with each student, but feel free to print your own copies if you'd like to get a head start!
Spring Carnival
  • Student Council's Spring Carnival will be held at South on Friday, 3/25. Grade 6 students are invited from 4:00-5:00 PM; Grade 7 & 8 students are invited from 5:30-6:30 PM. There will be a DJ, games, food trucks, raffles, and more! Tickets will go on sale later this month during lunch and cost $5.
  • In addition to staff chaperones, adult volunteers are needed to help before, during, and after the event. Please sign up to join us: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0F44AAAA2DAAF85-souths 

Trivia Night - postponed
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mr. Sturtevant has had to postpone Trivia Night. We are excited to host even more teams from all 3 grades on Thursday, April 28th! Students have until 4/11 to sign up, and every team that registers will win a prize.

Term 3 Grades
  • Today is the official midterm for term 3. Teachers will be updating grades by this Friday, so students should sign up for makeups or retakes this week!
  • Due to this year's snow days, the end of term 3 will be rescheduled to right before April vacation. Report cards will be posted on 4/25, immediately after the Break, but students must make sure all makeups and retakes are completed before 4/14! (Note: there is no school on Friday, 4/15, through Sunday, 4/24)

Three-fer Thursday from South! 5/22/2025

Three from South: (1.) Tomorrow--Friday, 5/23--South will host our annual Memorial Day Assembly starting at 1:00 PM. 8th graders have been working hard to prepare their Veterans Projects and a group will present them while our entire school honors local veterans and the fallen heroes of our Armed Services.  Students are encouraged to  wear red, white & blue  to show your patriotic spirit for our veterans and honored guests.  There will be  no student dismissals after 1pm , as it is too disruptive to the memorial assembly.  This year's assembly will be held in the large Gym due to the nor'easter, but guests are still welcome! If you would like to attend the assembly, please enter through the Main Entrance to get a visitors sticker and then proceed down to the Gym. Mark your calendars! All 8th grade Veterans Projects will be on display in the Media Center on Friday, 6/6, for the public to view and explore our students' research. If you're looking for an e...

Bulldog Bulletin - 6/3/2025

Congratulations to all the students that participated in the Trills and Thrills music festival this past Friday - your hard work and effort paid off! Your playing and love for music impressed one of the adjudicators so much that he wrote an email to our superintendent letting him know how much he appreciated South Middle School’s music program!  7th & 8th grade orchestra won gold and the 7th & 8th grade Band and Concert Choir both earned silver.  This Thursday, 6/5, is the last day for Late Bus this school year. Students can still stay after for extra help, but you’ll need to arrange for a ride home or plan to walk! Homework Lab also ends this Thursday, so if you plan to stay after, you’ll need to make plans with one of your teachers. Don't forget! Bus registration ends next Friday, 6/13.  See the Districtwide post for bus registration information. Please check the Yearbook Sales list posted at your homeroom entrance.  If anyone thinks they purchased a y...

"Build Up" to the beginning of Middle School!

  South Middle School Build-Up Grade 5 August 19 & 27, 2025 We are excited to show our newest 5th graders around South Middle School. The Build Up program is an optional orientation for our newest Bulldogs to get a "sneak peek" of what to expect at South Middle. Teachers will explain what a typical day looks like as a 5th grade student. Students will tour the building so they feel more comfortable, and they will learn about important middle school topics such as:  Class schedule Behavior expectations  Locks and lockers Clubs & activities Homework Guidance counselors Computers & BYOD (“Bring Your Own Device”) Lunch & recess School etiquette Organization This is a great way for our newest students to connect with South staff and their new classmates. It is very exciting to see where they will spend their middle school years. Feel free to have your child write down any questions and we will be sure to get them answered. Go to the Registration Form on ParentSq...
