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#.

Dear Southlands Families,

We hope you received the Southlands School Newsletter that we sent home by email Friday. Check out the newsletter for a calendar of fun events and Spirit Days that we have planned in December. Friday was also Report Card Day! Please sign and return the brown envelope to your child's teacher.

Reach out if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
Margaret Paxton (she/her)
Principal
Southlands Elementary School

We are still looking for class parents to organize class gifts for these classes:
  • Division 1: Mr. Lee
  • Division 5: Ms. Beck
  • Division 8: Ms. Laven
  • Division 9: Ms. Kim
This is a great role to be involved in and doesn't take too much time. It mainly involves sharing information with the class from the PAC as needed, helping to create a community within your group and most importantly celebrating and thanking our amazing teachers in the holiday period and at the end of the year.

If you are interested in this role or have any questions, please email Laura Wallbridge. We want to make sure we appreciate the efforts our teachers put in with our children. Please volunteer!

Below are the class parents volunteers so far. Please reach out to them to donate to the class gift.
  • Division 2: Priya Gupta
  • Division 3: Laura Wallbridge
  • Division 4: Jenny Wasko-Paterson
  • Division 6: Priya Gupta
  • Division 7: Carol Chan
  • Division 10: Jenny Wasko-Paterson
Thanks for volunteering!
