South Middle School starts tomorrow at 8:02 AM

School starts tomorrow at 8:02 AM and we are excited to see everyone's smiling faces in the morning! Everyone will find out their homeroom teacher tomorrow and we'll have an extended homeroom block to start the day, when you'll learn your schedule, new lock & locker assignment, and get your new student ID badge.


Best habits for a good school year:
  • Set up a charging station and plan to store your chromebook there every night. 
    • Pro tip #1: leave your bookbag in the same spot, and you'll always know where your "school stuff" is! 
    • Pro tip #2: don't charge devices in your bedroom. They'll buzz all night and disturb your sleep!
  • Pack your bookbag tonight with at least one notebook and a pen or pencil for school tomorrow. 
    • You can bring in more supplies, but teachers will update "what you need" tomorrow.
    • 6th, 7th, & 8th graders will not be provided an Assignment Notebook Agenda. You may purchase one for $2 or you may use your own assignment notebook to keep track of assignments. 5th graders will receive an Agenda tomorrow to begin practicing the organizational strategies needed for middle school success!
  • Set an alarm and go to bed early! Bus routes have been sent out to registered students. Walkers/riders/carpoolers: be ready early & beat the traffic! Doors open at 7:42 AM. 
    • Drivers: be patient & cautious in the driveway. You may not drop students off in neighboring streets. Plan ahead to avoid traffic so you don't feel the pressure to spoil someone else's day.
    • Please note: There will be no late bus and afterschool activities for the first couple weeks of school. More information will follow.

All students will receive a Student ID ​Badge tomorrow. Students must keep this safe & secure. It will be used for bus riders and it will be utilized in other systems throughout the school year. If your ID is ever lost, you must report it to ​the Main Office immediately so we can get you a replacement and turn off the lost badge.

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...

  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.
