# Resources and Curriculum

All purchasing **MUST be completed by 11:59 pm on April 15th** for the current school year. Remember, even if your favourite is not on this list, the chances are that we can get it for you! Let us help you! Email <areid@onlineschool.ca> to start the process.

<p class="callout info">*Please Note: Parents who order from US vendors to Canada are responsible for any customs or brokerages fees.  
Parents CANNOT ship to a US address, even with cheaper postage, as HCOS, as the owner of the curriculum, would be liable for brokerage and customs fees.*</p>

We offer a variety of resources to help families get curriculum and other school supplies such as pre-made resources packages, and science kits. Be sure to look through our extensive list of Resource Vendors which accept HCOS PO numbers!
