Faithful Shepherd provides individual support of student success uniquely for each student, setting target goals and differentiating learning experiences to best meet academics and personal growth. We provide that support in specific subject areas by offering extra time and skills to achieve their success. Additionally, our middle school teachers also provide academic support to middle school students who are struggling. Our entire faculty will work together as a team to improve their learning capabilities.
Students are offered individualized learning opportunities that help them learn and grow at the pace that is right for them.
At every age, Faithful Shepherd knows that educating and caring for your child goes beyond academics. FSCS has partnered with Phoenix School Counseling to provide counseling services to our students.
Our counselor offers individual and small group support for students who may be struggling in a variety of areas including anxiety, depression, life changes, grief, self-esteem, friendship, impulse control, anger management, study skills, and social skills needs. She supports classroom teaching through regular character education in K-8 classrooms to provide relatable and practical lessons on topics such as responsibility, healthy choices, perseverance, and citizenship. Through the gifts of faith, our faculty provides the support students deserve as they navigate the rigorous challenges of youth and adolescence.
Hello! My name is Shelby Reller and this is my first year at Faithful Shepherd. I am so excited to be here as another support person for the students.
I went to Winona State University and got my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. After I graduated I took 2 years off of school and worked as a paraprofessional in a middle school for one year and then as an education assistant with non-verbal high school students. Those two years made it clear to me that I wanted to work in schools and my passion for mental health brought me to pursuing School Counseling. I attended Adler Graduate School and earned my Master’s in School Counseling.
I grew up attending a Catholic school from Kindergarten through sixth grade. I am so happy to be able to provide support to students in Catholic schools because I had never had an extra support system at school when I was growing up.
This is my third school year as a School Counselor! I love working with students of all ages, with the majority of my experience being in K-8. I love working with such a big age range, it keeps every day interesting.
