South Cinco - 5/16

Five from South!

  1. As you may have heard by now, internet access in the District crashed again this morning during our rescheduled MCAS tests. Service has been restored, and we are anticipating concluding the 8th grade Math MCAS Session on Wednesday morning, as well as make-up exams in 6th and 7th grade. 
  2. Our May PTO meeting will be held at South on Wednesday night, in the Media Center from 6-7pm. See the attached agenda.
  3. Braintree Public Schools' Artstravaganza kicks off tonight at Braintree High. The Music Festival runs from 4-8pm outside BHS and the ArtFest gala will run inside from 5:30-7:30pm. We wish the best of luck to our musical performers, and offer congratulations to our visual artists whose work was selected for the art show! (The ArtFest will also have gallery hours this Thursday from 3:30-5:00pm.)
  4. The celebrated BHS Dance Team held an informational meeting afterschool in our Gym for any 8th graders interested in auditioning in the fall. The also-honored BHS Cheer Team will offer a similar informational meeting in the Gym tomorrow for interested 8th graders. All are welcome! 
    • As spring sports seasons come to a close, other BHS athletic teams will schedule these informational sessions for our students, usually in June, so keep an eye out! 
    • Don't forget: anyone planning to try out for fall sports at Braintree High or for the South Soccer Teams, you will be required to have completed baseline testing over the summer in order to be eligible to try out. Don't miss the announcements that will be posted over the summer by me, Athletic trainer Kara Hines, and Athletic Director Chris Coblyn!
  5. Mark your calendar: South's Spring Book Fair will be held from 5/30-6/2. ​Flyers were distributed to all students last week.

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!

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...
