Tuesday Woof - 4/12

 (1.) Check out these creative 7th grade sculptures from Art class!

(2.) Construction on the new South building is happening quickly. Foundations around the classroom wing have been going up all month, and three sides of the courtyard have been formed. The first fire wall went up today!

(3.) All term 3 work is due by the end of this week, and report cards will be issued on Monday, 4/25 after the break. See your teacher this week about any makeup work or retakes!

(4.) Congratulations to the Larivees and the Auclairs, winners of the first 2 PTO Calendar Raffle drawings this week! We're just over halfway through the prize drawings, if you can believe that. Just as much fun is yet to come!  Buy your tickets and get them to our Main Office ASAP!

(5.) Looking for something to do during April Break? The Harvard Undergraduate Studies in Education (HUSE) program, a premiere undergraduate organization dedicated to promoting education as a career field, hosts an annual program called Splash, which traditionally offers high school students free opportunities to take classes taught by Harvard students on topics not usually incorporated in traditional high school curricula. This year, they are offering the Splash! experience virtually on Saturday, 4/23 and Sunday, 4/24, and have expanded the invitation to middle school students. There is no application required to participate in Splash, but enrollment will be filled on a first come, first served basis through Sunday, 4/17. See below for more information.
“Join hundreds of other high schoolers in taking free classes taught by Harvard students on a variety of topics not traditionally taught in high school curricula! From mapping abnormal psychology, to building a city, to changing the world without money, Splash has dozens of classes to offer that may deepen your knowledge on a subject you already love or uncover a new passion in both small intensive seminars and large lectures.

Throughout the days at Splash, you will also have opportunities to virtually interact with and develop relationships with Harvard students. You will get to experience what it’s like to be a student at Harvard and learn more about Harvard’s history, campus, and intellectual tradition. You choose what kind of amazing learning experience you want to get out of Splash!

This year, Splash at Harvard will be virtual and take place on SATURDAY, APRIL 23 10AM - 12:15PM ET and SUNDAY, APRIL 24 1PM - 3:15PM ET.

Fill out this Google Form or tiny.cc/SPLASH2022 to demonstrate your interest in attending the program! We will reach out to you about how to officially register after you have filled out the form.

Please reach out to harvardhuse@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns.
Registration will close on April 17, 2022, 11:59 PM and will be processed on a first-come, first-serve basis. Register now!”

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
