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 our School Newsletter on Friday. We have had a busy week at Southlands. Division 1 and 2 made fifteen drums on Wednesday morning with Davita Marsden from the VSB Indigenous department. On Friday several classes participated in online workshops through the First Peoples Festival. Students in kindergarten have been visited by Kindness Ninjas! Div. 3 and 4 learned about the science of play with Mrs. Paxton and are planning their own Day of Play. Next week, Ms. Beck's class will be making Pysanky, or Ukranian Easter eggs. We are looking forward to warmer weather and sunny days this spring.
As always, if you have questions or concerns, please get in touch.
Sincerely,
Margaret Paxton
Principal

I hope you are enjoying the sunshine! I’d like to schedule a garden clean up party for next Tuesday, April 12th, between 1:30-3:30pm. Please join us if you have time in this window!
This is a great way to connect with other parents and enjoy a little garden therapy. Everyone is welcome - please pass this invite along to others who might be interested in joining us. No experience necessary!
We will plan to weed the beds, rake up a few leaves and fill the planters with flowers.
Please bring your garden tools if you have any. I look forward to seeing you next week!
