Early Release - Thursday, 9/26

 Tomorrow, Thursday 9/26, is the first Early Release Day of the new school year.

Dismissal is at 11:45 AM for middle schools.​
  1. Students should plan to see all your Day 5 classes tomorrow, in half-hour periods. On all ER days at South, we follow the normal cycle day and use a shortened-block schedule so they'll see every class. (We will hold Kickoff Assemblies for each grade, so students may miss one or two blocks tomorrow, although that is not typical for ER days.)
  2. Bus students may elect to walk home or get a ride and the school does not need to be notified. However, please be aware that students may not switch buses or hop on a bus for one day. Drivers are only permitted to take students with the proper bus pass, even on early release days. Please do not ask for permission to change buses tomorrow!
  3. Preorder a Grab-N-Go lunch from the Cafeteria--order here!--and pick it up in the Main Office at dismissal, free of charge!
Heading to Papa Gino's for lunch? Show them the attached flyer and let them know you're supporting South PTO! Or, order out for dinner and help raise funds for field trips, assemblies, extracurricular activities, classroom supplies, and more! (If ordering online, choose the Braintree location and enter code 19 at checkout!)

Wednesday Woof from South

  We are immensely proud of our 7th grade English teacher, Mrs. Christine Norris, who was honored last night at the Norfolk County Teachers' Association annual awards ceremony. Mrs. Norris was nominated by her colleagues for the NCTA Honor Award, saying:  Christine’s contributions to South are immeasurable. She is the type of person who, if she’s going to do something, she’s going to take the time to do it right. This year alone, she’s co-running the Grade 8 Washington, D.C. trip, co-creating the Yearbook, co-creating the Field Day Murder Mystery activity, co-running the South dance, and co-running the South Student Council, which this year was combined with the Community Service club because, you guessed it, she runs that, too! When you ask her about running all of these things, she humbly downplays her involvement. Don’t let her fool you--she’s one of the hardest-working teachers at South.  To be honest, even that extensive list of projects is incomplete; Mrs. Norris is...
