South Cinco - Monday 2/6

(1.) Term 2 ended on 1/26 (and semester 1: we're more than halfway through the school year!) and report cards were sent home on Friday, 2/3. Please be sure to sign and return one copy to homeroom teachers by Friday at the latest.

(2.) This Friday, 2/10, South's Student Council is hosting a dance. The Grade 6 dance is from 4-6 PM and Grade 7 & 8 is from 6:30-8:30 PM.
  • Tickets cost $5 and will be on sale Tuesday and Thursday before school and at lunch. Tickets will not be sold at the door, so be sure to purchase in advance! Most students purchase their own tickets for the dance. You do not need to be asked or to invite a date.
  • Dress is casual neon
  • Be sure to pick up students right at the end of the dance! Students may not leave early unless a parent/guardian comes into the lobby to sign you out. 
  • Refreshments will be available, so you may want to bring a few extra bucks (but not a ton of cash, please!)

(3.) We had a number of talented musicians audition this weekend for the Southeastern Massachusetts Bandmasters Association Festival (SEMSBA). Congratulations to all the Bulldogs who braved the extreme cold to complete an individual audition and vie for a spot among more than 30 other districts' vocalists and instrumentalists; you all amaze us with your skill and ambition! Shout out to four South musicians who scored high enough to perform in the Junior SEMSBA Festival in May.
(4.) South's Mathletes also faced the frigid blasts this weekend to compete against other middle schools' Math Teams. Our team placed 5th overall, which is tremendous! Our "once and future champ", Curtis, placed 5th and will advance to the statewide competition again this year. Impressive!

(5.) The greatest Valentine you could give your teachers this year would be tissues! Please have your child bring tissues to their homeroom teacher, or you can drop them off in the Main Office.  If you'd prefer to have them shipped straight to South, we'll be happy to accept delivery! Our mailing address is 232 Peach St., Braintree, MA 02184. If you want a point-and-click option, here are some to pick from: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1VJ8XOJQVIDCR?ref_=wl_share! Thank you in advance for showing some love to the staff by helping us all keep our germs to ourselves!

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...

"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...
