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!

Wednesday Woof from South

  We are immensely proud of our 7th grade English teacher, Mrs. Christine Norris, who was honored last night at the Norfolk County Teachers' Association annual awards ceremony. Mrs. Norris was nominated by her colleagues for the NCTA Honor Award, saying:  Christine’s contributions to South are immeasurable. She is the type of person who, if she’s going to do something, she’s going to take the time to do it right. This year alone, she’s co-running the Grade 8 Washington, D.C. trip, co-creating the Yearbook, co-creating the Field Day Murder Mystery activity, co-running the South dance, and co-running the South Student Council, which this year was combined with the Community Service club because, you guessed it, she runs that, too! When you ask her about running all of these things, she humbly downplays her involvement. Don’t let her fool you--she’s one of the hardest-working teachers at South.  To be honest, even that extensive list of projects is incomplete; Mrs. Norris is...

Grade 8 Upcoming Events

Grade 8 Students & Caregivers: Next week, your child is scheduled to participate in an MCAS grade 8 Civics field test on Monday, 6/3 and Tuesday, 6/4. In order to administer a new grade 8 Civics test in the future, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education must try out new test questions before the test becomes operational and scores can be provided to parents, schools, and districts. Your child’s participation is important and allows the state to build a valid and reliable test by helping to ensure a representative sample of students from across the state.   On Monday, 6/10, the 8th grade is taking the annual end-of-year trip to Level99 in Natick. Please make sure you have filled out the Level99 waiver  AND  the school's online permission slip in ParentSquare in order to participate. Contact a team teacher with any questions.

Opening the new South building

After years of planning, design, and construction, South Middle School will open its doors on September 6, 2023 to 5th grade through 8th grade in our new building!  This week, teachers got permission to start coming in to set up classrooms, and they have been dodging construction and subcontractor crews for the past few days, preparing their rooms and adding their personal touch to make the brand new spaces ready for the students.  The energy throughout the building is downright gleeful as folks see the light-filled classrooms, spacious hallways, and state-of-art facilities that will be supporting our students’ learning and growth going forward. Of course, the faculty is always excited to welcome a new class of scholars every fall, but this year takes that sense of rebirth and limitless possibility to a whole new level!  As eager as we are to welcome students and families to the new building, it is not yet safe to open our doors to the public. The construction team is put...
