(1.) Parent-Teacher Conference Sign-Up 
At 4pm today, South's teacher teams will be posting sign-ups for Parent-Teacher Conferences. This is an opportunity to speak with the English, Math, Science, and Social Studies teachers about your child's social and academic progress and to ask any questions you might have. In some circumstances, specialist teachers might join a team conference or might leave a report with the team to share, but they will also post their own conference times for parents/guardians to sign up for. Contact your child's teachers if you have any questions about their conference schedule.

(2.) PTO Meeting Tonight at 7pm!
We will meet in the cafeteria. Please see attached Agenda. We look forward to seeing you!

(3.) Dine Out at UNOs Braintree tomorrow, 11/16. 
Show the attached slip to your server  when ordering and let them know you're supporting South. Dine in the restaurant or order takeout to help fundraise for the 8th grade Washington, D.C. trip. Any student who brings proof of purchase will earn a homework pass!

Purchase books and support the South Media Center! Shop online--https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/southmiddleschool15--or browse in person.

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...
