This meeting is to discuss upcoming important dates and events that you can be a part of for our school. Please park in the back of the school. Thank you for your support!

Parents, This is a reminder that we are beginning our new after school car dismissal program today. You MUST have your KidAccout ID card when you come to car line. If you do not have your card, you will need to go to the front office to pick up your child. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition! Have a blessed day!

All Cullman County school campuses will dismiss at 12pm on WEDNESDAY 4/6/22 due to the threat of severe weather.

Parents, Please check your child's folder tonight for a letter explaining our new car dismissal program we will be beginning on Monday, April 11th. There is an envelope attached that includes your child's 2 dismissal cards. Starting on April 11th, the person picking your child up in car line MUST have one of these cards to pick your child up. We are currently looking into options for parents to purchase extra cards. Please feel free to call the school if you have any questions.

Please share this post to help us get the word out. We're looking for talented employees that want to shape the future, make a difference, and be a hero.
