Travel Planning Guide

Our CCS family travel guide highlights important dismissal and holiday dates for our school. As you plan vacations, appointments, and other events for the upcoming year, please take note of the days when Cullman City Schools will be closed. We encourage families to schedule trips and appointments around these dates whenever possible, as this helps minimize missed instructional time.
