School counselors are integral to the summer learning program team, providing planning, guidance, and credit allocation. Under the direction of the summer program Director and Coordinator, the counselor ensures that students off‑track for their graduation cohort year have the opportunity to recover credits and that every senior leaving the Providence Public Schools after graduation has college or career goals. School counselors also assist in the registration process once summer credit recovery starts, ensuring students are taking the courses they need and completing a thorough review of student histories for students in the summer learning program.
