The Woof

(1.) Tomorrow we'll get ready for the nor'easter bearing down: coax the warm air northward to keep the snow at bay with your  S'Wintery Mix  outfits for Wednesday this Spirit Week! Let's see your creative Summer/Winter mash-ups! Thanks to South Student Council for keeping us all merry and bright this week. (2.) Thank you to all the families who have been plying the staff with treats this week! There was a long-standing tradition at South of students & their adult caregivers delivering baked goods to the Teachers Room all throughout the last week before the December Break. After a few years of pandemic-driven hiatus from communal food, it means so much to walk past the Teachers Room and hear the lively conversation and laughter of our Bulldog staff savoring the thoughtfulness of your gestures of appreciation. Please don't tell our cardiologists, dieticians, or significant others about the sheer quantity of sugar and complex carbohydrates, but thank you all! (3.)

(1.) South's Student Council is hosting Spirit Week all week. Today's  Long Winter's Nap  had outstanding participation from all grades! We can't wait to see the creative outfits as the week goes on. (2.) Homework Club will not meet on Wednesday or Thursday this week. Students can stay after with a teacher, and there will be a Late Bus. (3.) Friday was the Midterm for Term 2. Teachers will be getting grades up to date this week, so students need to speak to their teacher directly about any missing work, or to ask about retakes or makeups.  If you redo an assignment or hand in an assignment after the Due Date,  you must tell/email your teacher  to let them know!  Teachers will not randomly check to see if anyone turned in late work to be graded. (4.) Our Choral Concerts are being held tonight and tomorrow. A few reminders: Doors open at 6:30pm and the concerts start at 7:00. We always fill the Auditorium, so show up early if you want to choose your seats. Please fill in

  This one goes to eleven ... (1.) Today our South Basketball teams tip off for the first game of the season at the East Middle Gymnasium. Boys will play East at 3:30 and Girls will take on the Cougars at 4:45. Admission is $1 for kids, $2 for adults, and concessions will be available for purchase (Proceeds will benefit the Crook Scholarship).  Go Bulldogs! (2.) Don't forget! Tomorrow, Thursday, 12/8, is an Early Release Day. Dismissal is at 11:45am for middle schools. Breakfast will be available but lunch will not be served;  order a bag lunch with this link before 7am tomorrow!   (3.) Students are reminded that signed Report Cards were due back to Homeroom Teachers  last Monday.  If you have not returned it yet, please do so promptly to avoid a disciplinary consequence. An extra copy of your report card can be requested in the Main Office and must be signed by your adult caregiver. (4.) South's Scholastic Book Fair will be open on Thursday and Friday for in-person purchases.
