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
After a very beautiful summer here in Vancouver, it's time to head back to school and settle into another year with this special community. I am excited to welcome you back on behalf of the Southlands PAC executive committee.
As the parents or carers of a Southlands student, you are automatically a member of the PAC, and your ideas and hopes for your child/ren's experience at the school are important and welcome. The role of the PAC is to work with the school's administrator, Ms Paxton, and all the wonderful teachers, to make sure that families can participate in the students' education and the life of the school. PAC activities also help to connect us to each other, build a strong and inclusive school culture, and raise money that can fund extra programs and supplies that add to students' experience. The families at Southlands ARE the PAC, and it can be whatever we decide to make it!
Throughout the year there will be lots of opportunities for parents to take part in PAC activities. We hope you will consider giving a little bit of your time, either through taking on a volunteer position or participating in one of the occasional events like garden clean-up or helping out with a hot lunch day. Each of us giving a little bit of our time adds up to a lot of support for the school, and children love seeing their families taking part and showing how much they value their education.
On the first day of school, please come and say hello to this year's PAC exec members at our table in front of the lower doors. We would love to meet as many families as we can, and we can tell you more about our ideas for this year and hear yours as well.
See you soon!
