If you are late to school, your child must enter through the upper front door by the salmon mural and check-in at the office. Please call the office at (604) 713-5414 so they can let the child in.
If your child will be absent from school, please 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. Our school code is 79.
Greetings, Southlands Families.
Last week we saw the start of the Southlands Safety Patrol. We have 20 dedicated members who will help both adults and students cross Camosun Street safely before and after school. We are grateful for their service!
Student Leadership went class to class last week to talk about our Hallowe’en Costume Contest on Friday, Oct. 30th. Leadership members will award prizes to three students in primary and three in intermediate who have the spookiest, the most creative and the most homemade/recycled costumes. This year, unfortunately, we cannot hand out treats or share candy in classes, for safety reasons. A gentle reminder: students should not wear Hallowe’en masks on the playground at recess and lunch, should leave any fake weapons at home, and should follow teachers’ directions if a costume becomes a distraction. Costumes are totally optional, of course. Student Leadership meets at lunch (usually Tuesdays, but this week Wednesday) in the undercover area and everyone is welcome.
Teachers will be in touch soon about Conferences on November 4th and 5th. Please remember there is early (2 pm) dismissal on both of those days.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch!

The Fall Food Drive has ended this week. We collected 278 items and exceeded our goal! Thank you to everyone for your generosity
This week Ms Phung's and Ms Prins' classes had the opportunity to learn all about daffodils thanks to the generous efforts of Caroline and Matt Dickson, Keira's parents. Caroline organised the purchase of 200 bulbs to plant along the front fence and under the Southlands sign. Thanks to Matt's trench-digging efforts the children were able to plant all the bulbs, which should bloom this spring making Southlands even more beautiful!
