principal's message

Hello Mustangs,

It has been a fantastic school year, and we thank you for your unwavering support of South County Middle School! With coursework completed and grades finalized, we are excited to celebrate our students' accomplishments. A few reminders: laptops have been collected, and backpacks will not be allowed Monday through Wednesday, except for small bags/purses for female students if needed. If your student will not be returning next week, please complete our attendance form (https://southcountyms.fcps.edu/attendance-form) so we can excuse the absence. Congratulations to our rising 9th graders, and we cannot wait to see our returning and incoming students next year. 

Justin Simmons | Principal | South County Middle School
