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. Parents who are picking students up early must come to the office. Office staff will go and get the student.

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#.

Dear Southlands families,

I hope everyone is staying warm and healthy. Thank you everyone who attended our November PAC meeting. It was great to discuss ideas and concerns that benefit and enrich our school community. For any details, please check out our meeting minutes on the website.

We are planning some exciting events for the month of December and January, please stay tuned for the announcement. Meanwhile, for November, we are kicking off our Purdy's campaign for y'all chocolate lovers. It's a great way to treat your family and friends with yummy chocolates while supporting our community.

Another exciting news is that our holiday gift card fundraiser is back! Check out below the details of these fundraisers and also look out for our pink PAC notices that your child(ren) brings home this coming week.

Kindly,
Renee
 

Hello, Southlands Families!

We hope you all received the school newsletter on Thursday afternoon. Read it to see some photos and learn about what is happening in each division at Southlands. Poppy donations will be accepted all next week.

We are organizing a Fall garden cleanup on Wednesday November 16th, from 2.30 to 4.30 pm.

Please join us if you have some time! And feel free to pass the word to people you know.

If you have some garden tools, please bring them along. The plan is to rake leaves and do some weeding.

Cheers,
Mathias & Joséphine
(for the Southlands garden club)
 
Our Winter Holiday Purdys' Fundraiser is now open! Please consider supporting this fundraiser by buying some local chocolate for the upcoming Winter season. All funds raised will go towards the school.

We have gone paperless this year so there is no paper catalogue coming home with your child.
The catalogue is available online at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gtPxlA1M0xtZJPw2kbdlo3Y_kVHmerd1/view?usp=share_link

The deadline to order is November 26th, 2022
Delivery will be December 9th and December 12th. The delivery team will either have a local house porch pick up option or meet up at the school during pick up and drop off times.

Thank you!

Hello families--the holiday season is quickly approaching and if gift cards are in your holiday plans, please consider ordering them through our fundraiser    

For every $100 you spend on Gift Cards, Southlands receives up to $10 from the merchants, which include the ever popular Starbucks, London Drugs, Home Depot, Chevron and many more.  These Gift Cards make great stocking stuffers or gifts for family, friends, teachers, caregivers--or even for your own purchases in the future.  The money you spend is the value you receive on the cards, so there is no extra cost to you.   Please keep an eye out for a backpack mailing this week, which will include the ordering form and instructions. 

Any questions about this fundraiser can be sent to Carol at southlands.giftcards@gmail.com.

As always, thanks for your support!
Thank you to the families who have joined our FlipGive team! We encourage others to join the team using code FRJ3Z5.

Use the FlipGive app or browser plugin before shopping online at stores like Starbucks, Amazon, Sportchek, Nike, Bay, The Gap, Indigo, etc. and you will be ensuring a percentage of your purchase gets credited to Southlands programs.

Mabel’s Labels is getting you prepped and ready for gifting season with 10% off their Holiday category! Their Holiday collection includes personalized stationery, stocking stuffers, gift tags, and more- with brand new designs!  Head over to campaigns.mabelslabels.com and search for Southlands to get a head start on your Holiday planning all while supporting our campaign!
