Calendars & Schedules

Synchronous Cohorts - 2023/2024

Individual class schedules will be posted as they are created. Please check your Brightspace course shell for more information. 

Synchronous classes begin the week of Sept 25-29 and end the week of June 10-14. There are no classes scheduled during the following weeks: 

Please note that the final submission deadline for Term 2 (June) report cards is Friday, June 14, 2024 at 9:00 am.

Some courses have two cohort options on the schedule based on last year's enrollment numbers (e.g., English 9A and English 9B); however, cohorts may be combined closer to the start of September if student enrollment is lower than expected. Please enrol in the course in Encom, then your synchronous teacher will reach out at the beginning of September to determine which section you would like to attend.
