"The Southland School District strives to prepare its students to lead fulfilling lives  as responsible citizens in today’s society. The learning environment will be inviting, respectful, supportive, inclusive, and flexible for student success.We believe that all  learners must become
Inspired learners who are accountable for  demonstrating, assessing, and directing their present and life-long intellectual growth.
Effective communicators who will use verbal,  written, artistic and technological forms of communication to give,  send, and receive
information. Productive workers who perform collaboratively and independently to create quality  products  and services that reflect personal pride and  responsibility. Responsible citizens who have a global and multi-cultural perspective, and who take the initiative for improving the quality of life for self and others. Resourceful thinkers who independently and creatively strive to solve  complex problems through reflection, appropriate risk taking, and critical evaluation."

Eagle Bluff
2013 marked the 15th year Southland has participated in the 7th grade field trip to
Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center in Lanesboro, MN. For the 5th year in a row Southland has earned the “Golden Plate Award”, the “Zero Hero’s Award”, and been awarded the “Eagle Eye Award.” These all represent excellence in conserving and recycling to protect our resources and the environment. As always, the adults who chaperoned the trip are very proud of the 7th grade and accomplishments they made this year!

Note to Southland Stakeholders from Steve Sallee, Superintendent 
After last week’s two snow days, I recommended to the school board that we end the school year as originally scheduled and not make up the two missed days. The board has accepted that recommendation.  Southland staff will be making up 3 staff days next fall, but we will not add any student make-up days to the end of this year. We have a window/siding project scheduled to begin the first Monday in June and we do not want to push that start date back.  This has been an extremely difficult year with emergency closings, and very frustrating for everyone. I appreciate your patience and understanding through it all. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at (507) 582-3283. 
 
Summer Recreation Program

Southland Community Ed. will be sponsoring the Summer Recreation Program this year with the help of donations from our communities. Jim Stratton will direct the program and drive the bus that will allow all children to participate. Click here for more information and the registration form.

Sports Event Notice
This notice is to inform you that from here until the end of the spring sports season you should be checking the school website on the days of events numerous times until the early afternoon for possible event changes. Because of all of  the recent rain and snow, we might have to move an event from Southland to another location due to field conditions. It also could work the other way where an event might be moved to Southland. These changes might not take place until early afternoon as we check field conditions. There is very little space left on the schedule to make up any events and we must get the events in when  and where we can. History was made this past week with all of the snow. Now we must deal with it as best we can.






Employment Opportunity - Substitute Custodians
