Morning drop-off (7:45-8:15) can be done at the Main Entrance/Office or the Elementary wing on the East side of the building only. We are looking at the safety of the students and all the traffic that there is at that time.

After school pick-up (after 3:00) can be done at the Office or classroom. If you are picking up on the East side by the Elementary wing, please come into the building and pick your child up in their classrooms. If you are picking up your student before 3:00, please do so at the Main Entrance, NOT the Elementary Doors. The office needs to make sure that the kids are getting checked in/out accordingly.

If your child has to be gone from school instruction, please contact the office by phone at 507-582-3568, or by email klowe@isd500.k12.mn.us

The Southland Elementary Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is looking for motivated and energetic people to carry on the mission of the PTO! The PTO has been supporting staff and students of Southland since 2001 and we are in desperate need of more parent participation. Fundraising efforts provide the school with materials, equipmewnt, building updates, technology, and many other items that would not find funding by other means. The PTO is in need of parents to step up and continue these efforts and sustain the budget. If no parents are able to step up, the fundraising efforts will stop along with the extra funding for the students and staff. If you are thinking about it or have questions about the PTO, please reach out to Chrissy Weis at ccsmile15@yahoo.com or call/text at 507-219-0054.

SAC is always an option for child care before, after school, early dismissals or no student days during the week unless otherwise noted in the handbook. Below is the direct link on the district webpage under the Elementary Tab if you would like to utilize this option: https://www.isd500.k12.mn.us/page/3026. If you have any questions, please contact the school at the number above or Amanda Kiefer-SAC coordinator at akiefer@isd500.k12.mn.us

The bi-weekly update will be sent to your e-mail you have supplied or a hard copy will be sent home. The newsletter will also be posted on the school web site at www.isd500.k12.mn.us.
