Welcome to the Guidance Department at MDHS!
The Role of Guidance Services:
Guidance is a safe space where both students and their guardians/parents
are welcome to come in and obtain information and support regarding well-being and/or
academics. If you have a question or a problem and you are not sure who to ask then please give us a call or come in and visit us. We would be more than happy to help you.
Starting mid-September students can make appointments online using Teach Assist for the MDHS
guidance department!
1) Have your child log in to their Teach Assist account
2) Under the sub-heading “Appointment Bookings”
3) Click on the day and time the student wants to have their appointment (if the appointment
slot is highlighted in blue). If there are no appointments displayed, then you will have to select
another day, as all counsellors have been booked for that day.
4) You will see shaded in blue “All open appointments”. Choose the appropriate Guidance
counsellor (based on your child’s last name)
5) If the student needs to cancel their appointment for any reason, click “cancel”. If your
child has any trouble making their online appointment, please let us know.
**Students must show the Teach Assist guidance confirmation on their electronic device or go to the guidance office to get an appointment slip (please go before school or on your lunch) from
Ms.Vlachopoulos in order to be dismissed from class, if the appointment is during that time. **
Please note: If you wish to make an appointment with your student’s guidance counsellor, please
feel free to give us a call at 905-294-1886 ext 515. Guardians/parents (not students) making appointments are asked to please book 2 slots when meeting with a guidance counsellor.
