Welcome to the 2025/26 School Year!
We’re so excited to kick off a brand new school year with all of you! The Guidance team is here to support you with courses, post-secondary planning, and anything else you might need along the way.
This year, we’re thrilled to welcome Ms Diana Ramundi to our Guidance Department! If your last name starts with A–K, Ms. Ramundi is your new Guidance Counsellor. She can’t wait to meet you, hear about your goals, and help you make the most of your high school career.
Students with last names from L–Z will continue to be supported by Ms Reid.
e-Learning Day School
If you are TDSB secondary student who is interested in taking an online, mostly asynchronous course as part of your timetable, the e-Learning Day School program may be for you. e-Learning courses are primarily asynchronous and run for a full semester. Teachers deliver synchronous lessons weekly for about an hour. Students are expected to log in daily and to keep up-to-date with their assignments.
Secondary students in the TDSB who are enrolled in one or more courses at their day school can include one e-Learning course per semester as part of their regular timetable. The course request must first be approved by the school Guidance Counsellor. Once the student is enrolled in an e-Learning course, the course is added to the student's current day school timetable.
Please note that e-Learning courses are only assigned when we are unable to schedule you into a course at Forest Hill. This may occur when a course is full, cancelled, or cannot fit into your schedule. e-Learning is not used as a first choice placement, but rather as an alternative when no in person option is available.
Please note that although e-Learning courses are asynchronous, they are not self-paced courses. Assignments and evaluations are to be completed and submitted according to the due dates established in the course outline. Students are expected to log in and commit 75-90 minutes daily to engage in and complete work independently. While it may vary throughout the duration of the course, that is the equivalent of 75-minutes of class time, along with homework time.
