Hello Southlands Families!
We hope you all had a chance to see or hear about what your child is learning during Student-Led conferences last week. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher at any time of the school year if you have questions, concerns or compliments!
As our province continues to battle Covid-19, we will ensure that we follow all of the health and safety protocols that we have in place at Southlands. This includes the playground zones for recess and lunch. The zones are not popular with our intermediate students, but everyone is being very co-operative and they understand that the purpose is to not mix learning groups. We have been pulling the ping pong table out to the Blue Zone at recess and lunch and students are really enjoying practicing their skills.
On Monday our teachers will be working on some IB goals in the morning. In the afternoon we will be participating in a workshop on infusing Indigenous content into the curriculum.
See you on Tuesday, Picture Day!
