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/

South Cinco - 3/31/2025

  Many of us were slow getting to South today, after returning late on Saturday night from the annual 8th grade Washington DC trip. It was a great trip! Thank you to Mrs. Norris and Mrs. Clark who coordinated the trip, to all the teachers who chaperoned overnight for 4 days, and to the students who represented South well! (1.) CALENDAR RAFFLE Tomorrow is the official first drawing of the South PTO April Calendar Raffle! Bring in all sold tickets to enter every drawing! Tickets & rules were sent home from homeroom.

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...
