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!

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...
