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,
On Friday we sent home a school newsletter via email. Please read it to see what is going on at school and how to register for the Southlands Sun Run Team. We have 7 participants and need 7 more to be an official team. Monday is the last day for the Early Bird Rate!
This week we are excited to welcome a Musqueam cedar weaver, Rita Kompst, to do cedar weaving with all classes.
If you have any questions, please reach out.
Sincerely,
Margaret Paxton
Principal
