Welcome Back Woof

It was great to see everyone's smiling faces back at South today after a refreshing February Break!

ONLY A FEW DAYS REMAIN TO ORDER YOUR YEARBOOK! There may not be any extra copies available for purchase in June, so if you're at all interested in ordering the Yearbook, this is your last chance to order! Go to Jostens.com and purchase your copy for $35. All yearbooks will be delivered to South in June.


This Thursday, South PTO is holding a "Dine Out" Fundraiser at the Chateau in Braintree. You know the drill: dine at the restaurant or order takeout by phone and tell your server to "flag your bill" for South; order online and add the item "Fundraiser" to your tab to flag it for South. Thank you for your support and bon appetit! 


Earlier this winter, several 8th grade students decided to put their learning about the American Revolution in Social Studies classes to good use and entered an essay contest with the Daughters of the American Revolution. They answered the prompt: The Second Continental Congress met from May 10, 1775 - March 1, 1781, and included delegates from all 13 colonies. This Congress was instrumental in shaping what was to become the United States of America. Imagine that you are a delegate during 1775-1776. Which colony are you from and what will be important for you to accomplish for your colony? Congratulations to Maggie K, Janice Y, Hailey C, Crystal L, and Veronica C, who will all be honored by the Deborah Sampson Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution for their exceptional essays! And, further congratulations to Maggie, who was selected as our local chapter's winner of the essay contest and whose writing was submitted to be read at the state level along with each chapter's winner!

There are still a few spots left open for the South Ski Trip rescheduled to March 11th. If your skier/snowboarder is interested, please contact Mr. Boynton for more information.

On the topic of winter activities, the Superintendent has announced a 2-hour delayed opening of school tomorrow.
  • We will follow a shortened schedule (similar to an early release day) so students will see all of their regular Day 6 teachers and classes. Be sure to complete all your homework tonight for all your classes!
  • Buses will be expected to pick up 2 hours later than your regular pick up time, however it is recommended to arrive at your bus stop 5 minutes earlier than usual so you won't miss it, and be prepared to wait a bit longer as road conditions may just as likely delay buses. (Be sure to thank your drivers for driving in all kinds of weather!)
Tell your friends to make sure their ParentSquare is set to alert them, as this is the primary way the Braintree School District issues updates!

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 putting on the fi

South grand opening - Wednesday, September 6th!

Teachers assembled at South today for opening meetings and put the finishing touches on their classrooms while planning for the year ahead. We are so excited to have students arrive tomorrow! All bus riders should have received assignments by now. Bus passes will be handed out during the school day tomorrow and are students' "ticket to ride" for the afternoon, so make sure all accounts are paid! Students getting dropped off in the morning will come in the front door. Drivers: follow the yellow arrow below to come in our main driveway. At dropoff, pull all the way down to the end of the sidewalk in front of the building. Please be considerate of the other drivers while we all get used to the new driveway.  Do NOT follow the blue arrow; the old building's driveway will be closed all year.   Do NOT follow the orange, purple, or red arrows. The lower driveway loop is  only  for buses during the school day. Teachers will direct students as they arrive. 5th grade students w
