Final PTO Meeting for the Year

Final PTO Meeting for the Year - TONIGHT @ 6pm

South PTO's final meeting for this school year will be this evening at 6pm.

South's Grade 8 Appreciation Night will be held on 6/14 at 6pm to recognize & celebrate their graduation from middle school:

Graduating 8th graders will have assigned seats on the driveway. Family & friends are invited to bring lawn chairs or blankets and to pick your seats on the "island" lawn. Speeches, awards, and certificates of completion will be given from the front of the building.
After the ceremony (typically around 7pm) graduates are invited to move to the back lawn for the PTO Grade 8 Garden Party. There will be a DJ, pizza banquet, ice cream truck, photo opportunities, and countless good memories being made!
Check the PTO Facebook page for information about fundraisers to support the Grade 8 Graduation Party. Donations are always welcome; make checks out to South Middle School PTO and send them to the Main Office (with "Gr8 Party" in the memo line) or Venmo @Nicole-Driscoll-2 or @Lisa-Howland and note "PTO Gr8 Party"

Grade 4 and 5 Parent Move-Up Nights: If you're reading this, you already have a child in middle school, and may not be overly anxious if you have a 4th or 5th grader moving up to South in September. But, you also may have some questions about the plans for our grade 5-8 middle school in the new building, and if so you're invited to come to one of two Parent Informational Nights on June 7th or 8th at 7:30pm in the South Auditorium!

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

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!

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.
