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!
