Friendly Friday Woof - 3/11

Early Dismissal - Monday, 3/14

School will dismiss at 11:45 on Monday for teacher professional development. We will follow a Day 5 schedule with shortened periods. Lunch will not be served in school, but you can order a Grab-N-Go lunch to pick up from our Main Office during last block. Click here to order, before 7:00 AM on Monday, 3/14.


Daylight Savings Time
Daylight Savings Time begins this weekend. In the wee hours of Saturday night to Sunday morning, we will set our clocks forward one hour. Don't forget to go to bed on time (or a little early) on Sunday night, because it'll be hard to wake up on Monday morning!

Midterm Grades Posted
As a reminder, midterm grades are updated in Aspen as of now. If you're not satisfied with your grade, make sure to talk with your teacher/s while you still have half a term to improve.

Afterschool Support
Monday through Thursday, we have a daily Homework Club. Students do not need to sign up in advance to attend. All you need to do is report to the Media Center at dismissal and bring work to do! The HW Club is staffed by South's paraprofessionals, who can provide extra help and guidance with your homework, or you're welcome to just take advantage of a quiet spot to complete your homework. This is also a great opportunity to make plans with your classmates if you want to meet up and work together. Classroom teachers offer one day each week when they stay late or arrive early to provide extra help or opportunities for makeup work. Speak with your teacher directly to make a plan to stay with them.

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...
