Purchase Order Numbers or PO#s

Once a child is enrolled at HCOS, they will be issued a PO # once all of the required documents been received by the office.

The office requires:

  • Copy of the child’s birth certificate.
  • Proof of Residency document.
  • Signed Curriculum agreement
  • There may be additional documents required for specific students (ie. out-of-province, or SE students)

The Purchase Order number is what is used to order curriculum: 

  • This account is restricted to a maximum of $600 for any third-party lessons, or for consumable resources.
  • HCOS makes an additional $400 available to pay for HCOS courses, curriculum, etc. 
  • Funds may be used for school-based programs such Virtual Worlds, Learning Camps, Community Connections and Co-ops.
  • Deductions are charged against curriculum accounts for each online course.

Students enrolling after September receive $500 for curriculum.

Students enrolling after the second enrolment deadline receive $250 for curriculum.

Students enrolling after the third enrolment deadline receive $500 for curriculum.

The PO# can be used, in consultation with the support teacher, to buy curriculum at a wide selection of vendors listed on the HCOS website. HCOS Vendors

Teacher’s Role in the PO# process:

  • Share advice on curriculum
  • Check to see if the child has adequate curriculum to cover the core subjects
  • Note required program related curriculum and materials in the SLP
  • Approve curriculum order forms where the PO# does not work.

Notes: 

  1. A parent can never be reimbursed for any curriculum purchases, this includes: school supplies, computers, lessons, trips etc.
