Please continue to make sure your child(ren) are healthy and feeling well before sending them to school.

If you are late to school (after 9:00 am), your child(ren) must enter through the upper front door by the salmon mural and check-in at the office. The upper front door is now unlocked during the day so no need to call or ring the doorbell. All parents entering the school must enter through the upper front door and check-in at the office.

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!

It was a beautiful, sunny, but cold, week last week. We are encouraging students to wear their jackets outside. Lots of jackets and sweaters get left on the playground as students warm up when playing. Our Lost and Found is right by the library. Parents are welcome to come in and look for missing jackets and hoodies.

Please expect a school newsletter on Friday, Nov. 25th, even though it is a Non-Instructional Day. All school districts are required to have an Indigenous Focus Day once a year, and the VSB day is Friday. There will be no school for students.

Best wishes for the week ahead! 

Sincerely,
Margaret Paxton

Ordering for Subway lunch on Nov 30 will open this week. Please place your order on Mon or Tue through Munchalunch.
This is the last week for our Winter Holiday Purdys' Fundraiser. Please consider supporting this fundraiser by buying some local chocolate for the upcoming Winter season. All funds raised will go towards the school.

You can order online:
  • Go to https://fundraising.purdys.com/1020905-100191
  • Log into your account or create one.
  • If prompted, enter customer number #6421 for the Southlands Fundraiser
  • Please fill out Student Name and Division # under Additional Information
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!

Hi families!

Our holiday gift card fundraiser is now underway.  Thanks to those who have already submitted their orders! Order forms can be dropped off to the school office until December 2nd.  If you did not receive an order form this week or need a new form (or have any other questions), please get in touch at southlands.giftcards@gmail.com. Thank you for your support!  

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.   

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

As always, thanks for your support!

On January 27th, we will hold Lunar New Year activities at the school. We are looking for student and parent volunteers for the event.

The activities will include performances and various entertainment activities. Students of all ethnicities are welcome to participate in the performance, no talent is required, as long as you are interested in participating. Parent volunteers are also needed to assist with the entertainment activities.

Please contact Lana Liu at cell 604-671-3677 or email lanalp2010@gmail.com if you would like to volunteer.
Thank you to the families who have joined our FlipGive team! We encourage others to join the team using code FRJ3Z5.
