South Cinco - Monday, 12/19

(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 to the center of rows to use every seat.
  • Do not come and go during the performances. If you need to step out, you should wait to do so between songs.
  • Children are welcome at concerts but must be with an adult. Students who are not performing cannot attend without an adult. This is not a chaperoned event.
  • If the crowd extends into the lobby, please do not speak during the performances. Acoustics are great, and conversations carry straight into the Auditorium.
  • Please use our parking lot and reserve the upper driveway for caregivers with limited mobility. Extra parking is available across Liberty St at St. Clare's. Please do not block our neighbors' driveways on Peach St. or park on both sides and limit traffic flow. Please do not park in the fire lane along the front of our building.
(5.) Yearbooks are on sale now for $30. The price will increase after Friday, 12/23, so order your copy this week! Every year, we have people asking to order copies in June, but we purchase very few extra copies and when they sell out, that's it. If you want the yearbook, order it now to reserve your copy and get the best price!

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...
