Eat in the restaurant, or order takeout, and let them know you’re supporting South. 20% of your total tab will benefit the PTO! 

*** If you bring in a picture of your receipt, you can get a Homework Pass! (You can block out the total. This isn’t about how much you earned; it’s just a show of gratitude for everyone who participates at all to support South.) ***

  • There are 3 ways for students to check out books from the school library this year: 

    1. Online Book Request - Go to the South Media Center website, click on the South Book Checkout Request to reserve a book(s), and it will be delivered to your homeroom teacher's mailbox

    2. Browse & Talk to Media Specialist Mrs. Duffy - on Day 1, she’ll be here last block, and on Day 2 she’ll be here for the last 2 blocks

    3. Book Checkout Before or After School every day - students can browse the South Library before or after school any day, and can sign out their book on the Book Checkout form. Just write your name, the book title, the last 6 digits of the barcode, and ask an adult to sign off.

South Cinco - 3/31/2025

  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! Thank you to Mrs. Norris and Mrs. Clark who coordinated the trip, to all the teachers who chaperoned overnight for 4 days, and to the students who represented South well! (1.) CALENDAR RAFFLE Tomorrow is the official first drawing of the South PTO April Calendar Raffle! Bring in all sold tickets to enter every drawing! Tickets & rules were sent home from homeroom.

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...
