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#.

Welcome back to another exciting school year! We hope you had a wonderful summer and are ready to settle into a new year with our special community.

The parent or guardian of every child at Southlands Elementary is part of our Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) and has a say in how we shape our school. The PAC is here to work with the school administrators, teachers and our Principal Mr Larson, to enrich the experience of our students and strengthen our school community.

There are plenty of opportunities for parents to contribute to the PAC. We have a number of committees that are looking for volunteers; you can review them on the website. We hope you consider giving a bit of your time to volunteer for one of the roles, or join us for events like garden clean-up or hot lunch delivery.

To kick off the year, we’re hosting a Coffee Social on the first day of school. Please join us for a cup of coffee and a chance to catch up with fellow parents and meet new members of our school community.

See you at school!
