Monday Woof - 5/16

Tomorrow will be an early release day, so the faculty can attend professional development activities in the afternoon. Dismissal will be at 11:45 for middle schools, and students will follow a shortened Day 3 schedule tomorrow. Students may order a bag lunch from the cafeteria before 7 AM tomorrow by clicking here, and pick it up in the Main Office at dismissal.


Braintree High School is starting to prepare for our 8th graders to move up next September! There will be a number of opportunities for prospective athletes to hear about the different programs they offer. All meetings are optional and will begin after dismissal.
  • Tuesday, 5/24 - Dance Team - Cafeteria @ 2:45pm
  • Wednesday, 5/25 - Cheerleading - Gym @ 2:30pm
  • Thursday, 5/26 - Girls Soccer, Volleyball, Field Hockey - Cafeteria @ 2:45pm
These meetings are open to all 8th graders interested in these teams. Students may take the late bus, but will ideally arrange for a ride/carpool since the meetings usually don't last 45 minutes.

The midterm for Term 4 is this Thursday. Students ​should talk to their teachers about making up any missing work to ensure your grade reflects where you really are! ​Grades will be updated in Aspen by next Friday.

In Pre-Algebra, 6th graders reviewed for their Math MCAS exams with a *friendly* Math Madness competition, with brackets for each class. Congratulations to the champions!

Wednesday Woof from South

  We are immensely proud of our 7th grade English teacher, Mrs. Christine Norris, who was honored last night at the Norfolk County Teachers' Association annual awards ceremony. Mrs. Norris was nominated by her colleagues for the NCTA Honor Award, saying:  Christine’s contributions to South are immeasurable. She is the type of person who, if she’s going to do something, she’s going to take the time to do it right. This year alone, she’s co-running the Grade 8 Washington, D.C. trip, co-creating the Yearbook, co-creating the Field Day Murder Mystery activity, co-running the South dance, and co-running the South Student Council, which this year was combined with the Community Service club because, you guessed it, she runs that, too! When you ask her about running all of these things, she humbly downplays her involvement. Don’t let her fool you--she’s one of the hardest-working teachers at South.  To be honest, even that extensive list of projects is incomplete; Mrs. Norris is...

Grade 8 Upcoming Events

Grade 8 Students & Caregivers: Next week, your child is scheduled to participate in an MCAS grade 8 Civics field test on Monday, 6/3 and Tuesday, 6/4. In order to administer a new grade 8 Civics test in the future, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education must try out new test questions before the test becomes operational and scores can be provided to parents, schools, and districts. Your child’s participation is important and allows the state to build a valid and reliable test by helping to ensure a representative sample of students from across the state.   On Monday, 6/10, the 8th grade is taking the annual end-of-year trip to Level99 in Natick. Please make sure you have filled out the Level99 waiver  AND  the school's online permission slip in ParentSquare in order to participate. Contact a team teacher with any questions.

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 put...
