 Today is an Early Release Day with dismissal at 11:45am for middle schools. There will be no afterschool events while teachers attend a professional development workshop. 


Tomorrow 10/26 is the final day to order South Gear from our online shop! Go to the South Spirit Wear Online Store and order; your items will be delivered straight to your home in time for the holidays. 

School Photo Retake Day will be November 1st! Any students who missed the first photo day or were not satisfied with your first photo will have the opportunity to have Hayward Photographers take your photo next Wednesday morning. If you ordered a photo package and want a retake, make sure to bring the original photos with you to exchange them!

Next Tuesday, 10/31, Student Council is hosting a Costume Contest. Participation is voluntary, but all who are interested can show off your spooky creativity! Please leave props at home & plan to wear masks/head coverings only during judging. 
The Norfolk County Agricultural School is a hidden gem in our public vocational schools and Braintree 8th graders are eligible to apply. The students put on an amazing haunted hayride every year. Check it out this weekend; you will not be disappointed! You must purchase tickets in advance–https://maingatetickets.com/events/view/1693–Order today before they sell out! The Norfolk Aggie is located at 400 Main St./Route 1A, in Walpole.

Mark your calendars! The next South PTO Dine-Out is on Election Day, 11/7, at Papa Gino's in Tedeschi Plaza. Send your kids for lunch & order take away for dinner! 

Speaking of Election Day, you can contribute in a variety of ways to the South PTO Polling Station Bake Sale:
  1. Donate a home-baked food item for sale - please package items for individual sale & make a note of any allergens or ideally list all ingredients!
  2. Donate a store-bought food item, drink choice (or money for PTO to purchase items for resale).
  3. Sign up to work the sales table on Election Day outside the new South Gym: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B054EA9A923ABFD0-45577293-souths. Adults or students are welcome (with at least one adult). This is a great way for a group of friends to give back to their school PTO and socialize!
Donated items can be dropped off in the South main entrance on Monday 11/6 or directly to the Bake Sale table on Election Day, 11/7. 

Upcoming events from South PTO:
  • Throughout the week of 12/10-12/16, you'll be able to show a flyer when making any purchases at Five Below and they'll send the PTO a portion of the sale. This is a perfect opportunity to purchase your stocking stuffers, Yankee Swaps, and last-minute gifts! Flyer to follow.
  • On January 23rd school has an early release and PTO has a deal with Altitude trampoline park to share any admission fees from our supporters. More information to follow, but mark your calendar now to spend your long afternoon at the jump park on 1/23/2024!
  • The next PTO meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 28th, right after the Thanksgiving Break.

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...
