Bulldog Bulletin - Monday, October 17


  1. PTO meets tomorrow night in the South cafeteria, 7-8 PM.
  2. Unity Day is Wednesday: all students should wear ORANGE to stand up against bullying.
  3. OFM is Friday: send in final donations this week to homeroom! 
  4. South's Student Council challenges each grade to the Color Wars on OFM Day this Friday! Grade 6 wears RED, grade 7 wears PURPLE, grade 8 wears BLUE. Let's see your school spirit!
  5. Looking for ways to support your child's teachers? 
    • Send donations to the Main Office of Kleenex or other facial tissues. It's been a long early fall with allergies and respiratory infections already, not to mention the emotional rollercoaster of adolescence... as our School Psychologist says, "It's middle school: crying happens"!
    • When buying books online, consider using Bookshop.org to not only support South with this affiliate link, but also to support local independent booksellers
    • Download the Box Tops for Education app, register for "South Middle School Braintree", and scan your grocery receipts to earn donations from your purchases
    • Bring any old/unwanted books or other media to the donation bin behind South, near the basketball court
    • Drop off any old/unwanted clothing or linens in the donation bins outside Liberty School. (We had to relocate our bin during construction of the new South building, but we're still collecting donation checks!)
Thank you in advance for supporting South!
​

Don't forget: next Wednesday, 10/26, South PTO is sponsoring a fundraiser at Altitude to line up with the Early Release Day. Let them know you're there to support South and 20% of your regular admission will be donated!

EXTRA HELP SUPPORTS
  • HOMEWORK CLUB
    • South’s afterschool Homework Club meets Monday through Thursday in the Media Center until 3:15. If you have work to do or need to use a computer, feel free to come in at dismissal. You do not need to sign up in advance. Come as often as you need to: one day, every once in a while, or every day!
  • LATE BUS
    • The Late Bus is available to any bus rider who stays after for extra help or HW lab. The bell rings at 3:10 PM, and anyone planning to catch the late bus should be out front by 3:15. You will need a regular bus pass and a late bus pass signed & dated by the teacher you stayed with.
    • Students who regularly take a bus are welcome to take the Late Bus home if you stay after for extra help with a teacher or for the Homework Club in the Media Center. You will need a bus pass from your teacher to board the late bus. Late Buses leave South between 3:15 to 3:30, Monday through Thursday.
  • AFTER SCHOOL HELP
    • Every teacher has a weekday they stay after school. Students planning to stay for extra help should check in with the teacher to make sure their schedule hasn’t changed and to let them know you’ll be coming by.
 
STUDENT ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL
If your child has to be absent from school, come late, or leave early, please let us know so we’re not concerned! Call the Main Office line – 781-380-0160 – and dial “1” to leave us a message. If you’ve gone to a medical appointment, please request a note from the doctor’s office or have them fax it to us: 781-356-0657. Notes written by parents/guardians can help explain a student’s absence, but will not excuse it – only a letter from a professional office can medically excuse absences.

STAY IN TOUCH WITH SOUTH!

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...

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...
