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.

On Friday we sent home a Southlands School Newsletter. 

So far, we have 6 Sockeyes registered for the Sun Run Team. We would love to have more students run the 2.5 km and represent our school. If you have any questions about it please do not hesitate to reach out.

Best wishes for the week ahead and please remember - 2:00 pm dismissal on Wednesday and Thursday.


Sincerely,
Margaret Paxton (she/her)

Students in Grade K-2 are invited to join Recorder Classes with the Mastery School of Music at Southlands Elementary School for the remainder of the 2024 school year!

Rehearsals will be held on Tuesdays 3:05pm-3:35pm
Recorders can be purchased for $10 at the first lesson
Students sign up with post-dated checks of $256 for February-June 2024.

Class attendance is important, and students will need to bring their instruments every week, as well as their music folders. Attendance at year-end recitals is expected, as with other opportunities for group and solo performances through the Mastery School of Music and Southlands Elementary.
Australian Football Canada will have a Pro D day on February 16th and a March Break Camp from March 18th to 22nd. Both programs are going to be held at the Wesbrook Community Centre and will have some gym sessions, outdoor field sessions, indoor video sessions and much more!
