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,
Last week was busy with field trips, squash lessons, crêpe making (and eating), forest walks, and a visit from the public librarian from Dunbar Branch, who talked to our students about the Summer Reading Program: https://www.vpl.ca/program/summer-reading-club-2024-world-curiosities
In the coming week, we look forward to more field trips, an assembly led by Kindergarten on Thursday, and Indigenous Day on Friday. The Grade 7 Moving Forward Assembly will be on Wed. June 26th at 1:30 pm. The choir will also be performing and parents of choir members are welcome to attend. I wish you all the best for the week ahead and the last 9 days of the school year!
Sincerely,
Margaret Paxton (she/her)
Principal
Southlands Elementary School
