We are thankful that we are in a position to be able to school from home and provide a unique digital and physical learning commons, with many digital resources at your fingertips using OverDrive and SORA, or our subscriptions.

What can patrons do to minimize the risk of spreading the virus when receiving/sending shipments?

  1. When you receive a package from a courier:
    • Remove the items and save the shipping materials in a safe place out of reach of little hands, so you can ship materials back using the same packaging.
    • The items in the packages should be safe to handle as they would have come safely cleaned by the learning commons team.
  2. When you need to return items via Courier, package items in the saved packaging, and contact shipping@onlineschool.ca for pickup.
  3. If you use Canada Post, package items before you leave for the Post office. If the Post office is closed or you are not able to take items in, we will extend your dates.  Overdue fees will not be charged if this happens, but please email us at your earliest convenience.
  4. If you use Depot drops, package items before you leave for the depot. If the depot is closed or you are not able to take items in, we will extend your dates. Overdue fees will not be charged.  Please email us at your earliest convenience.

Should you have any questions or concerns please reach out to Pippa Davies, HCOS Learning Commons Director, at 604-908-0826 or at pdavies@onlineschool.ca.
