Hello Southlands Families,
We had fun on Thursday celebrating Lunar New Year and Valentine's Day. Our next special occasion will be Wednesday, Feb. 24th which is Pink Shirt Day.
On Monday, our virtual Scholastic Book Fair opens. Use this link to access the shop: https://virtualbookfairs.scholastic.ca/pages/5156090
Thank you for supporting our school, as we get 20% of the sales to purchase books and other items.
If your child is in Option 4, you should have received some information this week about Option 4 being extended until the end of June, with no loss of placement at our school. You also may have your child return to school between now and the end of June. Please give the office a week's notice.
Finally, thank you for reminding your child to follow the school's health and safety protocols. Some students are having a hard time remembering to give each other space. We know it is difficult, but we all must do our part to keep ourselves and others safe.
As always, please get in touch if you have questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Margaret Paxton

Share Your Input on 2020/2021 Budget Development
Each year, the Vancouver School District engages stakeholders and the public to provide feedback and inform the next fiscal year’s budget. We are asking for your input on our 2021-2022 budget. Using an online engagement survey, we’re offering an easy-to-access opportunity to participate. We recognize the importance of hearing from our community’s diverse voices, and we value your views on how to balance our 2021-2022 budget.
We gather input through individual meetings with stakeholders, from residents of the school community through online engagement and attending Committees of the Whole meetings. To join us as a delegation at Committees of the Whole, visit the Budget website here.
This online engagement survey is available now through February 19, 2021 and should take approximately 10 minutes to complete.
Take the survey!

Dunbar Little League has been the focal point of our Dunbar community in the spring and summer months since 1958 for girls and boys aged 5-12. We are excited to be welcoming children in our community back to the park this spring for a safe COVID friendly season of baseball and invite you to join us, no previous baseball experience is required. The season will consist of games as well as practices and will run from April 17th to June 19th.
All games are played against other teams within Dunbar Little League, we do not play regular house season games with teams from other leagues which means no travelling and the opportunity to really get to know your neighbours!
Registration is open now, until February 15th: https://dunbarbaseball.ca/registration/
All registrations will be refunded 100% in the event that we are forced to cancel or dramatically alter the season due to the COVID 19 pandemic.
