At Downsview S.S. we have 4 Guidance counselors, 1 Child and Youth Care Workers, 1 Child and Youth Counselor, and a TDSB Social Worker to support our students’ needs.

How do I make an appointment with a Guidance Counsellor?
All students are asked to make an appointment with the Guidance Office Administrator (Ms. Vescio) before school, at lunch, or after-school and at that time they will receive a blue slip with the time, date, and their Counselors name. If it is an urgent matter that requires immediate attention, a counselor will be available for the student to seek support.

All parents are welcome to call Guidance to make an appointment with their child’s Guidance counselor. The main number for Guidance is 416-395-3200 x 20040.
