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!

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...
