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.
We hope you received the Southlands School Newsletter that we emailed home Friday afternoon. If you have any questions arising from the newsletter, please let us know.
If you were in the neighbourhood on Sunday, you may have seen the participants in the Vancouver BMO Marathon. They ran past Southlands on Camosun where an aide station was set up. We wish you all the best for the week ahead.
Sincerely,
Margaret Paxton
Principal

2023/2024 PAC Executive and Committee Nominations Open
Hello Southlands families,
It's that time of the year that PAC is inviting and welcoming nominations for both executive and committee positions for next school year. If you or have someone amazing in mind that would be great to step up for any positions, please let us know. We also welcome you to connect with the parent volunteers who are in the current position if you have any questions. You can find the list of positions and current volunteers at https://southlands-pac.blogspot.com/p/southlands-pac.html
Please note that if the positions of Chair, Treasurer and Fundraising are not filled by volunteers for 2023/2024, then the Parent Advisory Council (PAC) can no longer function and all programs supported by PAC will no longer be available.
Warmly,
Renee

The Southlands PAC Direct Donation campaign for the 2023/2024 school year will be ending on May 31st.
We are getting closer, but still really need your help to reach this year's fundraising goals which are $7,000 for the Outdoor classroom and $5,000 for Classroom funds. Without donations, we risk not being able to support these programs.
We would like to say a huge thank you to all of our Donors so far.
Thank you to our 2 most recent donors over $500:
Baoshi Gao and an anonymous donor
Thank you also to Bin Wu for their previous donation.
Our total received to date is $9220
Important update: VSB is no longer providing tax receipts for cash or cheque donations.
To donate & receive a tax receipt:
- Donate Online: http://vsb.schoolcashonline.com/Fee/Details/1869/196/false/true and select "E-Southlands PAC"- this is the quickest way to receive a tax receipt
To donate without a tax receipt:
- Provide cash or write a cheque payable to "Southlands Elementary School" noting "2023 PAC Direct Donation" in the memo and include the pink Donor Recognition Form
Just a reminder, please remember to send the Donor Recognition form to school with the details of your donation, even if you donate online. This lets us know if you would like your name to be included in our newsletter recognition of donations or if you would like to be anonymous. If we do not receive the form, your donation will be considered anonymous.
Thank you again for supporting Southlands Elementary!
