Friday Woof - 4/1

Ramadan Kareem to all our Muslim Bulldogs, for whom the Holy Month of Ramadan begins this weekend! While students are fasting, they have the option to sit in our Media Center during lunch instead of the cafeteria. If a student plans to pray or engage in other observances, please let us know and we can make a more private, office space available as needed. (I found the qibla from my office the other day!)

MCAS testing starts next week. This is typically when the principal is contractually required to tell everyone to get a good night's sleep and eat a healthy breakfast--but, we all do that every day, right??--however, I just want to stress that everyone should make sure their devices are fully charged every night. There will be limited loaners available throughout the testing window, so this is the ideal time to build a good habit of plugging in your chromebook/laptop before bed! We hope to see everyone at tonight's Incredible Inclusion Walk at the Braintree High track starting at 5:00 PM. Together, we can raise awareness of neurodiversity and promote a school community where everybody is included!
South PTO will meet next Tuesday at 6:00 PM. Agenda will follow next week. Congratulations to Ms. Wood, the winner of our first Calendar Raffle drawing today! Students can still sell raffle tickets throughout the month of April.

Don't forget, you can still make Book Fair purchases online to support South: https://bestbookfairs.chrislands.com/

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 putting on the fi

South grand opening - Wednesday, September 6th!

Teachers assembled at South today for opening meetings and put the finishing touches on their classrooms while planning for the year ahead. We are so excited to have students arrive tomorrow! All bus riders should have received assignments by now. Bus passes will be handed out during the school day tomorrow and are students' "ticket to ride" for the afternoon, so make sure all accounts are paid! Students getting dropped off in the morning will come in the front door. Drivers: follow the yellow arrow below to come in our main driveway. At dropoff, pull all the way down to the end of the sidewalk in front of the building. Please be considerate of the other drivers while we all get used to the new driveway.  Do NOT follow the blue arrow; the old building's driveway will be closed all year.   Do NOT follow the orange, purple, or red arrows. The lower driveway loop is  only  for buses during the school day. Teachers will direct students as they arrive. 5th grade students w
