Why Goodsell?
The First Steps in a Russet Legacy

At Dean Goodsell Elementary, we believe a strong start makes all the difference. As the home of Shelley’s Kindergarten and Preschool programs, Goodsell is where learning begins—and where little learners first experience what it means to be part of the Shelley Russet tradition.

Our youngest students are welcomed into a nurturing environment filled with wonder, play, and discovery. But beyond the ABCs and 123s, they learn the values that define our community—kindness, perseverance, and pride.

At Goodsell, it’s not just about preparing for first grade. It’s about planting roots, building confidence, and beginning a journey shaped by caring educators and the strength of our Shelley community.
