Bulldog Bulletin - upcoming events

Believe it or not, last Friday was the midterm for term 1. Teachers have been working all week to get grades up-to-date and to help students with makeup work and retakes. All student grades will be up-to-date in Aspen tomorrow, Friday 10/13, to reflect their midterm standing. If you have any concerns about your child's grade or academic progress, please contact their teacher directly. If you have overarching concerns, yo can reach out to Guidance or schedule a Parent-Teacher Conference. Instructions to sign up for conferences were sent out by teachers or teams earlier this week. Of course, grades should not be a surprise; middle school students should be able to work directly with their teachers to schedule afterschool extra help, ask about retakes or makeup work. Please make sure you're checking Aspen, as that is the primary way teachers will communicate with caregivers about students' progress.



Next Wednesday, 10/18, is Unity Day. All South Bulldogs are encouraged to wear orange to Stand Up Against Bullying! 

Next Tuesday, 10/17, is the first South PTO Dine Out event at Jake N Joes Braintree! Eat in the restaurant and let them know to "flag your check" to support South Middle School or order take-out and add the code FUNDRAISER to your order for no additional charge. Students can earn a Homework Pass* for participating in this fundraiser: simply send a copy or photo of your receipt to your homeroom teacher (Make sure the receipt shows the 10/17/23 date and the code "Fundraiser"; feel free to black out the rest of the order, but we promise not to judge your dietary choices!).
Order South Gear now and get it in time for the holiday season! Go to the South Spirit Wear Online Store and order, now through 10/26/2023. See attachment.

Reminder for 8th grade students: you must register for the Washington DC trip by 10/31 if you plan to attend! $99 reserves your spot today! Financial aid is available upon request. We would love to have all students attend the trip and participate in this annual tradition! 
Reminder for 8th grade French students: register today for the Quebec Trip! $40 reserves your spot today!



* Homework Passes are always at teacher discretion. Students should ask their teacher in advance if an assignment is eligible to be waived!

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...
