Please continue to make sure your child(ren) are healthy and feeling well before sending them to school.

If you are late to school (after 9:00 am), your child(ren) must enter through the upper front door by the salmon mural and check-in at the office. The upper front door is now unlocked during the day so no need to call or ring the doorbell. All parents entering the school must enter through the upper front door and check-in at the office.

If your child(ren) will be absent from school, please email souattendance@vsb.bc.ca or phone 604-713-5159 as soon as possible and leave your child's name, division number, the date and whether they will be absent or late. If you phone, you will be required to use a school code. The Southlands school code is 79#.

The next PAC meeting is virtual on 20 Nov over Webex at 7pm. Every parent and caregiver with a child at Southlands is automatically part of the Parent Advisory Council. Please join us and hear about what the PAC is working on. 

Send any additional agenda items you may want to cover to Nina at southlands.elementary@gmail.com

Please consider supporting this fundraiser by buying some local chocolate for the upcoming Winter season. All funds raised will go towards the school.

We have gone paperless so there is no paper catalogue coming home with your child. The catalogue is available online.

You can order online:
  • Go to https://fundraising.purdys.com/1020905-124448
  • Log into your account or create one.
  • If prompted, enter customer number #6421 for the Southlands Fundraiser
  • Please fill out Student Name and Division # under Additional Information
  • The deadline to order is December 2nd!
Delivery will be December 13th and December 16th. The delivery team will either have a local house porch pick up option or meet up at the school during pick up and drop off times.

Thank you!

It's that time of year again that we are looking for class parents for each division. This is a great role to be involved in and doesn't take too much time. It mainly involves sharing information with the class from the PAC as needed, helping to create a community within your group and most importantly celebrating and thanking our amazing teachers in the holiday period and at the end of the year.

If you are interested in this role or have any questions, please email Jenny Wasko-Paterson:
Div 1 - Susie Chu
Div 2 - volunteer needed
Div 3 - Jenny Wasko-Paterson
Div 4 - volunteer needed
Div 5 - Laura Wallbridge
Div 6 - Gerry Teixeira
Div 7 - volunteer needed
Div 8 - Jenny Wasko-Paterson
Div 9 - volunteer needed
Div 10 - Jen Procter

Thanks for volunteering!
