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.

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. Once you sell tickets, bring the filled-out tickets & money to your homeroom teacher or the Main Office! You can also pay to the South PTO Venmo-- https://www.venmo.com/u/SouthMiddlePTO--and  just let your homeroom teacher know that you paid online. (2.) GIRLS ON THE RUN An outside group is using South's field as their meeting spot for two great activities:  Girls On the Run  and  Heart and Sole !  South students are encouraged to check ou...

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...

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...
