Two-For Tuesday from South

 Two notes from South:

(1.) Earlier this year, we distributed bus passes to everyone who's registered to ride the bus to or from school. If your child has been riding the bus and did not receive a bus pass, you may need to officially register for the bus. The link to bus registration can be found on the BPS transportation website: https://www.braintreeschools.org/transportation. Also, please make sure that your child is riding the bus identified on the pass. It is crucial that every pupil on the bus is registered and riding the proper bus to ensure the safety, security, and efficiency of BPS transportation. Thank you for your cooperation. 

(2.) Next Tuesday, 11/8, is Election Day. The South PTO will be hosting a Bake Sale outside the polling place here at South to raise funds for the school. There are several ways to help:
  • Bake your favorite treats.* Package them for snacking and include an ingredient list (or at least note any potential allergens, please). Donations can be delivered to the Main Office at South on Monday, 11/7, between 7:30-3:30.
  • Sign Up to sell items in the South Main Lobby on 11/8. Click here to go to Sign Up Genius and add your name! This is a great opportunity to get your kids involved too, as long as there's an adult to help manage the sales. Sign up for an hour with a friend!
  • Donate water bottles or soft drinks for sale, if you're not the baking type!
* Bake Sales are a great opportunity to get your kids involved and make some memories. Baking with them will help them contribute to their school, and you'll enjoy the time together. Baking improves math skills and problem-solving, but more importantly it's fun and tasty! Knowing their way around a kitchen is a life skill your kids will need soon enough, so if they're not already cooks, this is a good time to start teaching the basics. Ask any freshman in college!

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.
