Bulldog Bulletin - 3/4/2024 - The Week Ahead

We've got a busy week at South and we're already looking ahead to the beginning of Daylight Savings Time next weekend and the many sleepy faces that will be greeting us next Monday! Next Sunday also marks the beginning of Ramadan, a busy month for many of our students!


SUPER TUESDAY
Tomorrow is Primary Day and precinct voting will be taking place in our large gym. PE classes will be held in the small gym for the day and voters will be directed to the Gym Entrance so the school day will be able to proceed as normal.

SOUTH PTO
The next meeting of the South PTO will be tomorrow evening at 7pm in the Media Center. The agenda is below & we hope to see you all there!

MIDTERM 3
Tuesday, 3/5 is also the midpoint for term 3. Students should check their grades on Aspen and see their teachers about any missing work or makeups. Teachers will update all grades in Aspen by Tuesday, 3/12.

CALCULUS PROJECT
The Braintree Public Schools are a proud member of The Calculus Project Consortium.  This summer, the district will enroll its newest cohort of rising 8th grade students.  An informational session for current 7th grade families will take place on Wednesday, March 6th at 6pm in the South Middle School media center.  If you have questions, reach out to Courtney Miller, Director of Math, courtney.miller@braintreeschools.org.

GR.8 WASHINGTON, D.C. TRIP: PRE-DEPARTURE MEETING

Thursday, 3/7, at 6:30pm there will be a pre-departure meeting for anyone going on the Washington, DC trip. We will meet in the cafeteria to go over last-minute planning, find out group assignments, etc. The famed cherry blossoms are predicted to be in peak bloom the weekend we're in DC, an added bonus to late-March travel!

NEXT MONDAY - EARLY DISMISSAL
Monday, 3/11, is an Early Release Day. Dismissal will be at 11:45am for middle schools & there will be no afterschool activities. Breakfast will be served as usual, but lunch will not be served in school. Students wanting the free school lunch can pre-order a Grab-&-Go Lunch; please watch for a link to be sent out later this week.

PTO DINE OUT - 3/11 @ CHILI'S 
PTO's March Dine Out fundraiser will be held on Monday at Chili's in Braintree. Let them know you're supporting South and a portion of your bill will be sent to the PTO. Take advantage of the early dismissal to treat yourself to a nice lunch, or take the family out to dinner... or both!

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...
