Bulldog Bulletin - Wednesday, 11/20

Tomorrow is an early release day and dismissal for middle schools will be at 11:45 AM. We will follow a Day 6 schedule with shortened periods, so students should plan to see all of their classes. Students wanting a Grab-N-Go Lunch free from our cafeteria must order one in advance: Click Here to Submit Your Order.

Welcome to Marc Quigley, the "second chair" School Nurse in our Health Office, who was appointed by the School Committee on Monday evening!

Do you have old magazines lying around the house, chock full of great photography & artwork? Send them in to South for use in our Art classrooms! Art teachers are always looking for visual models kids can use to inspire their creativity.

Want to earn some extra spending money for the holiday season? Got kids returning from campus or on the job market? The Braintree Public Schools District is always looking for substitute teachers and substitute paraeducators. With a number of young people returning home for the holidays, this is a great opportunity to apply to be a substitute. 
  • Apply online, get your paperwork filled out (CORI check, etc.), and schedule an interview with a principal at one of your old schools. 
  • Then, when you're back home next month, on spring break, or after classes end in May, you'll be able to sign up for sub jobs on our online portal and earn some extra spending money! 
As older siblings make plans to return home, send them the links to apply and tell them to email me or call to request an interview while they're in town. We'll be glad to have the extra hands "on deck" in December and we'd love to show off the new South to our alumni!

Did you know?
South Middle School can provide MBTA student passes for your child to get the student T fare and skip the initial fee for the Charlie Card. A parent/guardian can request a T pass from your Guidance Counselor or the Principal. We appreciate the MBTA's outreach to support students who participate in clubs & activities in the city and benefit from easy access to public transportation!

South Middle School was recently rated #74 out of 1,072 Massachusetts Middle Schools by U.S. News and World Report. That puts us in the 93rd percentile! This report is just one measure, and should be taken with a grain of salt of course, but it is nice to have our staff's efforts and good work recognized.

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...
