Synchronous Cohorts - 2024/2025

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 23-27 and end the week of June 9-13. There are no classes scheduled during the following weeks: 

• Nov 4-8: HCOS staff meetings
• Dec 3-Jan 3: Christmas break
• Jan 20-24: Report card writing for teachers
• Mar 17-28: Spring break
• April 28-May 2: HCOS Connect

Please note that the final submission deadline for Term 2 (June) report cards is Friday, June 13, 2025 at 9:00am.

Please see the Synchronous Course Policies page fore more information on synchronous course expectations and completion dates. 

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.

Due to popular interest, TechLAB courses are divided into two cohorts. Each cohort meets together for 30 minutes as an individual cohort, then 30 minutes with the other cohort in a larger group. For example, a student in TechLAB 7/8 Cohort A will meet with Mr Lamden on Tuesdays from 1:15-1:45pm, then Cohort B will join from 1:45-2:15pm. Cohort B will then continue with Mr Lamden from 2:15-2:45pm. This allows students to build relationships in smaller groups while still benefitting from large group instruction and discussion times. Once students are enrolled in TechLAB in Encom, Mr Lamden will reach out to let them know which cohort they should attend.

Cohort B will then continue with Mr Lamden from 2:45-3:15pm. This allows students to build relationships in smaller groups while still benefitting from large group instruction and discussion times.
