Veterans Day Celebration

Thank You!

Thank you to all of our veterans and West Elementary families who took the time to join us in celebrating and honoring these special individuals. We are truly grateful for the veterans who have served and sacrificed for our country. Your courage, dedication, and commitment to protecting our freedom will never go unnoticed.

Thanksgiving Meal

Thanksgiving Lunch November 17 & 18

The menu will feature traditional turkey with dressing, green beans, and sweet potatoes.

Please indicate to your student's homeroom teacher the number of people attending. The cost for an adult lunch is $5.00, payable by cash or check only. 

*Please note that there will not be a pay-in-advance option this year. 

James and the Giant Peach

November 19th

Parents,

All West Elementary students will be able to attend a performance of James and the Giant Peach at Cullman High School for FREE. Working with our PTA, we will cover transportation and admission costs. We believe it is important to support school district programs and expose our students to future opportunities as they attend Cullman Middle and Cullman High School. 

Please complete the field trip form published through ParentSquare on November 9th. This will allow your student to be transported by school district buses to and from Cullman High School on November 19th.

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.

Thank you for your continued support of West Elementary! We look forward to a great school year ahead!
