Introducing the all new SFHS Cub Corps Program!!!

The South Florence Marching Bruins are launching their new "Cub Corps" after-school program for all Southside MS students currently enrolled in a band class.

The program is a marching band preparation program that is designed to prepare students for the SFHS marching band auditions. All students who successfully complete the "Cub Corps" program will be offered a spot in the 2023 SFHS Marching Bruin Band with no Marching Band Audition. Students that do not participate in the program are still welcome to join the program; however, they will have to successfully complete an audition.

If you have a conflict, please contact Mr. Lloyd (mlloyd@fsd1.org). Workshops will be held in the band room at Southside Middle School from 4:15 PM to 6 PM on the Wednesdays listed below:

• Mar. 29th

All Southside MS students will need to attend the Cub Corps workshops or audition regardless of prior involvement with the SFHS Marching Band.

Anyone signing a student out will be required to present a valid driver's license or ID Card. The individual must be listed on the students' contact list in PowerSchool.

Car Line Reminders

Our doors open to receive students at 7:30 AM. Our doors close at 8:25 AM to provide enough time for students to pick up breakfast and proceed to class. Students are tardy at 8:30 AM. Any student arriving 8:31 AM, must be signed in by a parent/guardian.

Afternoon car riders must be picked up no later than 4:30 PM.

No Outside Food

Southside Middle School does not accept food deliveries (Grub Hub/Door Dash). Also, parents, guardians, or friends should not drop off food (Chick-Fil-A, McDonalds, Zaxby's, etc.) to the office. Breakfast and lunch are available each day. Students are welcome to pack their lunch or eat what is served in the cafeteria.

VISION STATEMENT

To mold young minds to be creative, knowledgeable, productive citizens of good character in an ever-changing world.
