The school administration is working with the affected teachers to temporarily relocate their classrooms to different areas of campus, and West Elementary Principal Dr. Jay Page is contacting the parents of students impacted by the temporary moves.

Students return to Cullman City Schools on Wednesday, August 11 for the start of the 2021-2022 school year.
