Please make sure you review the daily health assessment (english or simplified chinese) before sending your child(ren) to school. Or use the K-12 Health Check website.
If you are late to school, your child(ren) 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 or use the new doorbell beside the door so they can let the child(ren) in.
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#.

Hello Southlands Families!
We hope you received the School Newsletter via email on Friday. In it we wrote about the VSB Staff Indigenous Focus Day and what Southlands teachers learned. We also wrote about dressing students for atmospheric rivers, and about Kindness (with a capital K because it is so important). Tomorrow we are launching our Dare to be Kind campaign which will officially last until the Winter Break, but unofficially for the rest of the school year and beyond. Because the IB Learner Trait theme of December is Risk-taker, we want to challenge students and staff to take risks to be kind - that is - to stand up for ourselves, stand up for others and to go out of our ways to be "a little kinder than necessary," as author J.M. Barry wrote.
Watch for the last newsletter of 2021 on December 10th.
Have a wonderful week ahead: stay calm, kind, safe, and dry!
Sincerely,
Margaret Paxton
