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#.

Happy new year, Southlands families!

I hope you have had a happy and restful break, and are ready to start school on Monday. Our Winter Solstice Fair was such an amazing celebration of our community, and a wonderful way to end the term in December. I especially appreciated how many of you offered your time and talents, working together to put on such a fun event for our children. I'm looking forward to enjoying more Southlands community spirit in 2024!

As we return to our routines at school, please remember to do what you can to keep all of our children and families safe at drop off and pick up times. Only park your car in designated parking areas, respect the No Stopping signs, especially around intersections, and park at least 6 meters back from street corners and Stop signs. Parking that might be convenient for your child could be extremely dangerous for others, if it stops them from seeing clearly to cross the road. We, along with our children, are members of the Southlands IB learning community, and we can only ask them to be learners who are Caring and Principled if we model these values ourselves. Thank you for your help in keeping all of our children safe.

Have a wonderful start to the year, and I look forward to seeing you soon!
