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.

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...
