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#.

DPAC has setup a special DPAC General Meeting for all PACs/Parents for tomorrow, Jan 10th at 7pm:
https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAofuuprj0iGdfQR3LNEM3p-QtWV_0gMub9

The session on Monday will be to hear more from PACs/parents. Did you see something on your first day back that caused a new question? We are making space to hear directly from PACs/parents.
BC is changing how outbreak notifications are handled at BC schools with the spread of Omicron. There will no longer be notification of outbreaks in schools. Instead Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry says a 10 per cent drop in attendance of both students and staff will trigger a notification, however everything will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Please report any positive COVID tests at https://reportcovidresults.bccdc.ca/

 
Hello Southlands families!

Funds raised through this campaign will help support the Outdoor Classroom and Classroom Funds. Our fundraising goals are $10,000 for the Outdoor classroom and $5,000 for Classroom funds.

We would like to say a huge Thank you to our most recent donor to the campaign. We truly appreciate your support! We have been provided with the online donation information from VSB this week and have received an additional 13 online donations in November.
