Bulldog Bulletin - South Cinco!

January is always a busy time in the life of a middle school. It's a long month and everyone's spending more time indoors, so teachers find they can really get into a lot of material in these weeks. It's important to stay healthy and try to stay caught up on all classwork so nobody falls behind! To that end, we're hearing a lot of sniffles and coughs in classrooms and teachers are desperate for supplies for healthy classrooms. 


(1.) Please consider sending your child in with a box of tissues for the classroom. (Older grades are running very low on tissues right now, possibly because teens simply will not be seen carrying the boxes in??) You can order online and have them shipped straight to us at 220 Peach St, Braintree, MA 02184 from your wholesale club of choice or use our Amazon wishlist to make it easy! If you can, add a note for which student or teacher/s they should go to. Any without a name will go to the Nurses, who need tissues, too! 

(2.) This Wednesday, there will be an informational meeting for any students interested in a role behind the scenes with the Spring Musical. See Mr. Puglisi or Ms. Proulx with any questions.
(3.) Next Tuesday, 1/23, is an early release day for teacher workshops. Dismissal will be at 11:45am for middle schools and students can preorder a Grab-N-Go lunch for free to take at dismissal. 
Looking for a fun activity with your long afternoon on 1/23?? Go to Altitude and support the South PTO! On 1/23 only, you can present the attached flyer and let them know you're supporting South. Your admission will cost the same, but a portion of the proceeds will go to the South PTO. Bounce for a good cause!


(4.) This Saturday, 1/20, is the first annual Ski & Snowboard Trip to Pat's Peak in New Hampshire. Students in grades 6-8 can see Mr. Boynton if you're interested in registering. He will have a "final details" informational meeting later this week to make sure everyone who's registered knows what to do on Saturday!


(5.) Last Monday, the Braintree School Committee voted to approve the attached calendar for the 2024-2025 school year. Note that there is an early release on the final Thursday of each month to allow more time for teacher workshops. Prepare now for this new routine!

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...

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...

"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...
