Bulldog Bulletin - South Sunday Night News

Tomorrow is a Day 4 at South Middle School. This means students will be meeting some of their half-cycle course teachers for the first time. All majors will meet as usual, while our 5th and 6th graders are getting used to the middle school schedule rotation. (I will send out a digital Days of the Cycle calendar later this week; the paper-based version is attached on ParentSquare.) 


SCHOOL PHOTOS - Friday, September 15
In ParentSquare, please find the order form for South Middle School’s Picture Day scheduled for Friday, September 15th 2023 during the school day. All the instructions are on the form, as well as the pre-order school code. ONLINE ORDERS ARE PREFERRED AND STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. No forms need to be returned by parents/guardians. The preorder option will be available through Wednesday, September 20th at 8:00am. All print orders will be mailed directly to the home addresses provided at checkout. If parents do not order by the deadline, their child will receive a NO BUY proof card with instructions on how they can order at that point. The no-buys cards will be sent to the school for distribution at a later date. **Please be advised**: FEES ARE MUCH MORE AFFORDABLE IN THE PREORDER OPTIONS. Fees for individual orders, package options, pricing and shipping/handling fees are much higher from the No-Buy selections. If you preorder but are unhappy with the print, we have found Hayward Photography will go to great lengths to ensure your satisfaction. A photo retake day will be scheduled for later in the fall. 

AFTERSCHOOL ACTIVITIES
Student activities will be starting up soon. 
  • The Late Bus will be available for bus riders starting on 9/18. 
  • Homework Lab is available in the Media Center, Monday to Thursday starting 9/18, from 2:25-3:15pm daily. No sign-up is required; students can drop in" as often as they would like. Students must have school work to complete and must come prepared to work in order to take advantage of the HW Lab. South's paraprofessionals staff the HW Lab daily, so it is a great opportunity to get a start on your homework, to ask any questions that might come up and get answers from the folks who know!
  • South Soccer tryouts for 7th and 8th graders will be held this Tuesday and Wednesday. Details were sent under separate cover.
Keep an eye out for other extracurricular opportunities to get involved!
Although it is not a school-sponsored activity, girls who are interested in joining a running club might be interested in the attached Girls on the Run flyer.
MARK YOUR CALENDAR!

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...

"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...
