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!

South Cinco - 3/31/2025

  Many of us were slow getting to South today, after returning late on Saturday night from the annual 8th grade Washington DC trip. It was a great trip! Thank you to Mrs. Norris and Mrs. Clark who coordinated the trip, to all the teachers who chaperoned overnight for 4 days, and to the students who represented South well! (1.) CALENDAR RAFFLE Tomorrow is the official first drawing of the South PTO April Calendar Raffle! Bring in all sold tickets to enter every drawing! Tickets & rules were sent home from homeroom.

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...
