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 and happy summer, Southlands families,

Here we are at the beginning of the last week of school for 2022 - 2023. Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our Volunteer Appreciation tea and assembly last Tuesday. For those who were not able to attend, please know that your contributions to our school are acknowledged and appreciated.
Thank you also to the PAC for the lovely treats you provided for our staff last week. We are very grateful.
To the students and families leaving us, we wish you all the best and please know, you will always be a Sockeye! We are looking forward to September and the raising of our house post carved by Brent Sparrow, Jr. Stay tuned for a date and time.

Report cards will be issued on Thursday, June 29th. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do get in touch with your child's teacher on Friday, June 30th, or with me, Ms. Paxton, on July 3rd, 4th and 5th. The school office will re-open on Monday, August 28th.

Have a wonderful, safe and healthy summer holiday.

Sincerely,
Margaret Paxton

Dear Southlands families,

Thank you for all your dedicated support for this school year! Our PAC wouldn't survive without all your contribution. On behalf of everyone from the executive team, I would like to say a huge thank you to all the parent volunteers!

One last thing is that our Southlands garden would need watering throughout the summer. If your family could help out by signing up for a one week slot, please email Josephine at southlands.elementary.garden@gmail.com

Wish everyone a great summer and see you all in September!
Renee
