Tuesday Woof - 4/5

MCAS starts tomorrow for 6th grade. 


(1.) No loaner devices will be available for student checkout on any testing days. 
  • Students who have school-issued chromebooks: Please make sure to fully charge them & bring them to South on all testing dates! This is crucial in order for us to have enough devices for students taking the exams!
  • If your child needs a long-term loan of a school-issued loaner, please fill out a HelpDesk ticket to request one at https://www.braintreeschools.org/helpdesk. Daily loaners should not be a long-term solution to a technology access problem!

(2.) Throughout the testing time for all grades, all students will be required to shut off their cell phones. Students who are taking MCAS will be required to put their cell phones away for the full testing period, including smart watches and other personal electronic devices. Please contact the Main Office if you have a message to deliver to your children during school hours. It is strongly recommended to have your child leave their smartwatch at home.

(3.) There will be a PTO meeting at South tonight, starting at 6:00 PM, in the Media Center. Please note, this is an earlier time than usual, in recognition of our families who are observing the Holy Month of Ramadan and need to be home by sundown to break fast. Agenda is attached.

(4.) Mount Lostandfound has erupted at South over the past few weeks of wild temperature changes. We've got sweatshirts, jackets, hats, and all the things you put on or remove when the sun suddenly bursts through, disappears, or a snow squall blows in.  Pick through it all in our front lobby! Take anything you recognize!! Unclaimed items will be donated over April Break.
(5.) Congratulations to Mrs. Flaherty and Mr. Brunstrom who won this week's Calendar Raffle prizes so far this week. In just 3 days of drawings, over $325 worth of prizes have gone out, including bonus prizes to the student who sold each winning ticket! You can still purchase/sell raffle tickets throughout the month of April, but the sooner you get them into our Main Office, the more chances you'll have to win! Ticket sheets are attached ($5 each, 3 for $12, or 6 for $20) or can be picked up in the Main Office.

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...
