Spotlights

Box Tops At Middle School South, we collect Box Tops For Education every month to help support our Choir and Life Skills programs. Each Box Top is worth 10 cents and can be found on the following products: Betty Crocker, Fiber One, Nestle, Cheerios, Chex, Green Giant, Pillsbury, Hamburger Helper, Yoplait, Huggies, Scott, Cottonelle, Nature Valley, Hefty, Ziploc and many more! Students can turn the Box Tops in to their first hour teacher and the class who collects the most each month wins a special breakfast treat!
New 7th Grade Immunization Requirements We would highly recommend getting the immunizations or waivers early in the summer. We have found that many will wait until just before school begins or shortly after and parents have a difficult time getting a timely appointment. This is a required state law and we need to have your child’s immunizations up to date to attend school. Thank you for your cooperation. More...
