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!

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! Thank you to Mrs. Norris and Mrs. Clark who coordinated the trip, to all the teachers who chaperoned overnight for 4 days, and to the students who represented South well! (1.) CALENDAR RAFFLE Tomorrow is the official first drawing of the South PTO April Calendar Raffle! Bring in all sold tickets to enter every drawing! Tickets & rules were sent home from homeroom.

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...
