Bulldog's Woof - Tuesday, 12/20

(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.) Friday is a full day of school. (Wishful thinking aside...) Today was the last day of Homework Club this year. We'll start back up in January 2023. There will be a late bus all week, so students can stay after if you make an appointment with a specific teacher.
(4.) 8th Graders' Adult Caregivers can order a Yearbook ad to send a shoutout to your graduate or to celebrate the whole class. All ad orders are due by January 28th.

(5.) South Basketball tips off Thursday against the BHS Freshmen teams. Girls are undefeated going into the match at 3:00pm and Boys are 2-1 for the season as they take the court at 3:45pm.

Three-fer Thursday from South! 5/22/2025

Three from South: (1.) Tomorrow--Friday, 5/23--South will host our annual Memorial Day Assembly starting at 1:00 PM. 8th graders have been working hard to prepare their Veterans Projects and a group will present them while our entire school honors local veterans and the fallen heroes of our Armed Services.  Students are encouraged to  wear red, white & blue  to show your patriotic spirit for our veterans and honored guests.  There will be  no student dismissals after 1pm , as it is too disruptive to the memorial assembly.  This year's assembly will be held in the large Gym due to the nor'easter, but guests are still welcome! If you would like to attend the assembly, please enter through the Main Entrance to get a visitors sticker and then proceed down to the Gym. Mark your calendars! All 8th grade Veterans Projects will be on display in the Media Center on Friday, 6/6, for the public to view and explore our students' research. If you're looking for an e...

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...

"Build Up" to the beginning of Middle School!

  South Middle School Build-Up Grade 5 August 19 & 27, 2025 We are excited to show our newest 5th graders around South Middle School. The Build Up program is an optional orientation for our newest Bulldogs to get a "sneak peek" of what to expect at South Middle. Teachers will explain what a typical day looks like as a 5th grade student. Students will tour the building so they feel more comfortable, and they will learn about important middle school topics such as:  Class schedule Behavior expectations  Locks and lockers Clubs & activities Homework Guidance counselors Computers & BYOD (“Bring Your Own Device”) Lunch & recess School etiquette Organization This is a great way for our newest students to connect with South staff and their new classmates. It is very exciting to see where they will spend their middle school years. Feel free to have your child write down any questions and we will be sure to get them answered. Go to the Registration Form on ParentSq...
