South's Week Ahead

Happy Diwali to all our Bulldog families observing the 5-day Festival of Light! Diwali is a celebration of the victory of light over darkness; good vanquishing evil; and peace, compassion, hope, and the light of learning. It's a joyous time for family and community, and we wish everyone a wonderful Diwali and prosperity in the coming year!

Early Release on Wednesday, 10/26. Middle school dismissal is 11:45 AM.
  • If you would like to order a bag lunch from our cafeteria, free of charge, please order in advance by clicking here. Lunch orders can be picked up in the Main Office as students leave for the day. Breakfast is served as usual on early dismissal days; they are also offered free this year.

  Many of us were slow getting to South today, after returning late on Saturday night from the annual 8th grade Washington DC trip. It was a great trip!

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...
