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 are planning a fun but low key Sports Day for Friday, June 3rd. Each class will be divided into three colour teams. The classes will rotate through ten activities and one rest station. Students from Point Grey Secondary will lead the stations. The PAC is buying each student a pizza lunch, with a cookie and chips. Students are encouraged to bring a hat, their water bottle and sunscreen. The activities will begin at 9:30 am and end at 2:00 pm. If parents wish to take their children home at that time, they may. Students who remain at school until 3:03 pm will be doing quiet activities in their classrooms. Parents are welcome to attend Sports Day, but encouraged to meet their child outside. (An adult washroom is available on the second floor across from the office.) We look forward to seeing you on June 3rd.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out - we are here to help.
Sincerely,
Margaret Paxton
Principal

Our next PAC meeting on June 8th (moved up from Jun 15) will be the Annual General Meeting, the last meeting of the year. Please register to attend. We will be voting in the new executive DPAC members, discussing the budget for next year and what options are available for hot lunch in the new school year.
Every parent and caregiver with a child at Southlands is automatically part of the Parent Advisory Council. Come join us and shape what services the PAC provides our students next year.

Do you have a stroller you are no longer using?
A parent in our school community is collecting used strollers for Afghan refugee families who have recently landed in Vancouver. Many of these families have young children and can’t afford to purchase a stroller. This unfortunately limits their ability to get outside with the children. If you have a stroller you can donate, please contact Caroline at mc.dickson@mac.com
