Two important dates for 8th grade

The Braintree High School programming orientation for parents/guardians concerning grade nine courses and leveling will be held in the Braintree High School auditorium on Thursday, February 29th at 6:30 PM. Anthony Garofalo, Director of Guidance, will review key aspects of the Program of Studies and the course selection process. Please bring your child's yellow "grade nine course selection sheet" to this program.  Also, BHS is hosting a tournament game for girls basketball at the same time that night, so traffic in the parking lot may be backed up.....best to arrive on the early side.


Unless we get any more snow days or other unexpected school closures, the last day of school will be Tuesday, 6/18. South's grade 8 Appreciation Ceremony is currently scheduled for Thursday, 6/13 at 6pm. This ceremony is for all 8th grade students and their loved ones and runs about an hour. Afterwards, 8th graders (students only) will enjoy a Dinner-Dance until 9pm to make some of their final memories as South Bulldogs. More information will follow, but I wanted to make sure 6/13 is on your calendars!

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. Once you sell tickets, bring the filled-out tickets & money to your homeroom teacher or the Main Office! You can also pay to the South PTO Venmo-- https://www.venmo.com/u/SouthMiddlePTO--and  just let your homeroom teacher know that you paid online. (2.) GIRLS ON THE RUN An outside group is using South's field as their meeting spot for two great activities:  Girls On the Run  and  Heart and Sole !  South students are encouraged to check ou...

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...

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...
