Counseling

At Presentation, our graduation requirements are structured to ensure that every student has the opportunity to meet and exceed the entrance requirements of all types of colleges and universities, ranging from the most selective universities to our fine local institutions.

The Counselors mentor students with their academics, graduation requirements, college planning, study skills instruction and scheduling of classes. We work closely with our College Counselors to stay current on college admissions requirements, statistics and trends.

Motivation, encouragement, self-advocacy and academic monitoring are central to the relationship between the Counselors and their students. We routinely monitor academic progress and attendance and proactively reach out to students or families who may benefit from additional resources or support services.
 

Students with learning differences and other accommodation needs may experience difficulty in managing class work in spite of their intellectual ability. To assist such students, Counselors work in conjunction with the Learning Specialist. This Educational Specialist facilitates communication among students, parents, and teachers; works with those who may need outside testing; assists students in adapting strategies to improve academic performance; and facilitates accommodations that will allow the student to do her best work.
 

The Wellness Center provides a safe and supportive environment where students can ask questions and get support. Students who are in distress are permitted to use the Wellness Center during class with the permission from a teacher. The Counselors utilize an online check in process to monitor each student's frequency of visits, immediate concerns and urgency to meet with their counselor.

When an individual requires a counseling relationship that exceeds two to three appointments, the counselor will facilitate a referral to an off-site mental health provider. We can also assist our families in times of hardship connect with community resources.
