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#.
DPAC Health & Safety Working Group is a group of concerned parents and caregivers whose main focus this year is on getting cleaner air in schools and classrooms as per the new guidance from Vancouver Coastal Health and the Ministry of Child Care.
There is new guidance by the BC Government and Vancouver Coastal Health about the need for cleaner air in schools. Portable Air Cleaners are now recommended for schools to help clean the air. The group encourages parents/PACs to advocate/donate/fundraise for these portable air cleaners for schools. The cost of air cleaners is minor compared to the cost of not having them (i.e. absences, illness, lost learning…). They are hosting a 30 min presentation followed by questions Nov 21 at 7pm online via Google Meet: NEW Guidance Requires Cleaning The Air in Schools: A Presentation to Help You Get Air Cleaners into your Schools”
