Just a few days left until February Break, but they're going to be busy ones at South!

(2.) This Thursday, 2/16, all South students will be treated to a high-energy variety show, Hip Hop Promotes Positivity, thanks to a generous grant from the Braintree Arts Lottery Council (BALC), a local agency supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC). BALC and MCC endorse science and the arts in school, and have long supported the efforts of South and all local schools to fund innovative programming like this fun, interactive concert, and we a grateful for their continued generosity!
(3.) 8th grade students are starting to prepare for their transition to high school. Guidance counselors will meet with students later this week to discuss what to expect from high school and to answer any questions they might have. Then, on Friday, the Braintree High Director of Guidance will hold a brief assembly to provide an overview of the BHS program of studies. 8th graders: think of any questions you might have about any aspect of high school life, and bring them to homeroom tomorrow so we can prepare the answers for your Frequently Asked Questions!

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...

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...
