Please see the Grade 5-9 Synchronous Courses and Synchronous Courses 10-12 pages for 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). Please enroll 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. Cohorts may be combined closer to the start of September if student enrollment is lower than expected. 

Grade 5

Grade 6

Due to popular interest, TechLAB courses are divide into two cohorts. Mr. Lamden will host two synchronous meetings per week for each grade of TechLAB. Students will be assigned to a cohort with one required 40 minute meeting time, and will be encouraged to join the other weekly meeting for the final 20 minutes. Students can request to be in either Cohort A or Cohort B to fit around other commitments like CC+. Example: You are in Grade 7 TechLAB and are assigned to Cohort A, which meets on Monday mornings at 10:30 am. Every week, you will attend that class for 40 minutes. For the first 20 minutes of class, Mr. Lamden will open with prayer, talk about the week’s assignments, and you might have a small group discussion. At 10:50 am, students from the other TechLAB 7 cohort will join for games, activities, discussions, and to ask questions. Cohort B meets on Tuesdays at 10:30am. You are welcome to join that cohort at 10:50 for 20 minutes of games, activities, discussions, and to ask questions, which is different from what you experienced in Cohort A. You are not required to attend this second weekly meeting; however, you probably won’t want to miss it!
