Tuesday Woof - 5/24/2022

Last week, Students of the Term for term 3 were recognized by their teachers and classmates. Deserving students are nominated by their teachers in recognition for positive characteristics such as consistent effort, positive participation, respect for others, and contributions to the climate in the school or classroom. Every student is eligible to be nominated, and we applaud those who were recognized in term 3!

With the seniors completing coursework at Braintree High and more and more siblings returning from college, we have had a few instances when food or drinks were delivered for students during the day. Food and drink are only permitted in the cafeteria during lunch or breakfast, and outside deliveries increase the risk of allergic reactions at school. If you want to treat your child and/or their friends to a tasty delight, please refrain until after school. Similarly, all outside drinks that students bring into school in the morning must be consumed or thrown away before they go up to homeroom. Water is allowed in all classes, and reusable water bottles are encouraged at school (but make sure to put your name on it!).

6th grade Science students completed an Astronomy "Menu" Project in Term 3, where the kids chose a project to demonstrate rotation and revolution, to explain the phases of the moon, and to research a planet of their choice. They had to do a project for each topic, and their creative drive shone through! Classes even visited their cross-team rooms to see the amazing creations produced by kids on the other team. These projects came out great, and the kids had a blast! 
Don't forget to order your copy of The Witch Boy by Molly Knox Ostertag to participate in the South GSA's book club on 6/14! (That's an affiliate link, so you'll support South while purchasing if you use it.) All are welcome!
We have one month left until the last day of school! Time flies!

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...
