Friendly Friday Woof - 3/18

Construction update: The construction crews started pouring concrete foundations for the new school building this week. It's remarkable how much progress they're making! Blasting slowed down at the end of this week and they anticipate blasting will be fully completed next week. This is welcome news to those of us who startle every time there's a rumble! Shoutout to the crews from Bacon Construction, who run a street sweeper through our driveway a couple of times each week and clean up the mud tracks from our site onto Peach St. We appreciate their extra care in keeping our school and neighborhood clean!


Students of the Term: At the end of each term, we ask teachers to look through their rosters and take a moment to consider which students make a special effort every day. This doesn't mean the kids who just always get good grades, but it's those who really care about their learning and put an extra touch into their work. Moreover, it's the students who contribute to the climate in their classes and at South generally, who make South a better place for their classmates and for all of us. These students can be nominated by a teacher or a team to be Student of the Term. They truly capture the Bulldog spirit!
Congratulations to the Students of Term 2! Damon A, Bobby A, Keira B, Max E, Keith F, Celia F, Audrey G, Trinh L, Dan L, Catherine S, Henry S, Megan S, Bao T, Gabby T, Cole B, Jackson B, Colleen L, James L, Hafsah O, Paris R, Michael T, Ava W, David A, Victoria B, Caroline C, Sophia D, Ailish D, Mark F, Brian K, Ella M, Luana M, Sunny T, Phoebe YContinued congrats to the Students of Term 1, who I don't think ever got their shoutout!

Work Hard, Play Hard! Several South Bulldogs are scheduled to represent Massachusetts this weekend for Braintree Youth Hockey at the Regional tournament after winning the Massachusetts State Hockey Tournament a couple of weeks ago. We are so proud of these kids! Good luck!

Science Fun Fact: Sunday is the Vernal Equinox for the Northern Hemisphere, one of two days of the year when the entire Earth experiences 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness. And, it's the first day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere. We're ready!

Have a great weekend!

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...

"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...
