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 sent out our biweekly Southlands School Newsletter via email on Friday. We hope you received it.

We want to encourage you to contact your child's teacher if you have any questions or concerns about the learning or social emotional development of your child, or any conflicts they have been experiencing. This is the most efficient and effective way of sharing information. COMMUNICATION is so important! Thank you for helping us to be better in knowing what, when, and how to communicate with you most effectively. 

Sincerely,
Margaret Paxton

Do you like swimming?
Ready to compete against your personal best?
Want to make new friends?

The Vancouver Vikings Swim Club invites swimmers aged 6-12 to register for a New Swimmer Assessment. The Vikings train at pools across Vancouver and compete at meets from May to August. Head Coach Andreas Sinats will assess swimmers who register on April 3, 2022 at Lord Byng Pool.
 
New swimmers must show they can swim a length (25m) of both front crawl (freestyle) and backstroke unassisted. To register for an assessment, visit http://vancouvervikings.ca/new-swimmers-assessment/
After the success of their workshops this fall, ONE TO ONE is again hosting virtual workshops for interested parents/caregivers of students in Grades 1-3 called Come Read with Me.

Come Read with Me is an interactive workshop facilitated by a ONE TO ONE educator designed to give parents and caregivers the opportunity to learn positive strategies to help them support their children when reading at home. Participating families will receive a digital resource package including the “Reading Success at Home” handbook. This program is available at no cost to families across British Columbia through the generous support of donors. 

The virtual sessions are on February 15, 23, 28, March 10, and 16. They start at 6:30 and run for 60 minutes with time for questions after. Each session is the same – parents/caregivers only need to come once
