We are proud to house Cullman City Primary School’s first stand- alone OSR Pre-K Kyle Kallhoff Brandee Sims, NBCT

We are fortunate to have a strong partnership with CPD with SROs on every campus and 2 ⁦Cullman High School⁩. Planning and clear dialogue is key to maintaining student safety ⁦Cullman City Primary⁩ ⁦EastElementary⁩ ⁦West Elementary⁩ ⁦Cullman Middle School⁩ ⁦

The reunification of students with their parents or guardians is a critical aspect of school crisis response. Schools and districts can learn how to develop, implement, and utilize reunification plans through The “I Love U Guys” Foundation’ Standard Reunification Method: iloveuguys.org/downloads/SRM-…

West is the best! East is the beast! Cullman Primary is extraordinary! You cannot deny Cullman High! and Cullman Middle is better than a Skittle!

CCPS parents, faculty, and staff: don’t park between the red and white lanes in front of the school closest to the wooded area (used for parking during construction). This is a no parking area and you are putting yourself in a position of liability in case of an accident. Thnx!

CCPS Student Pick-up: Green Lane (Head Start, Pre-K) opens at 1:30 Blue Lane for Kindergarten opens at 2:00 (use both lanes) Remainder of green lane releases at 2:30 (don’t block the box) Remainder of blue lane (1st grade) releases at 2:40 (use both lanes) Yellow: 2:15. Thnx!

CCPS Parents: statistics show it takes less than 2 seconds to stop at a stop sign, look both ways, then proceed. Two stop signs have been placed on the one way road that goes behind CCPS (one for each lane) for the safety of our children. Please stop for them. Thnx!

The posted School Speed Limit on the roads entering, exiting, and going around CCPS is 15 mph. Next time you’re traveling these roads glance down to check your speed. A citation for Speeding In a School Zone is over $500, but the consequences of hitting a child are devastating!

Please be aware that sitting in car line with the engine off and the radio on (especially if cell phones, tablets, etc. are charging) will drain your vehicle’s battery quickly. Then, when you’re ready to crank up and proceed through the line, your vehicle may not crank. Thnx!

Parents: if parking in an area designated NO PARKING, including where NO PARKING is painted on the street, you’re at fault for any accident involving, or caused by, your vehicle, no matter other circumstances because you’re parked illegally. Thnx!

To all my peeps at CCPS: I pray that each and every one of you has a merry Christmas and a happy New Year, and I sincerely hope that all of you experience love, peace, hope, and joy during the holidays! After all, the best gift of all is love! Stay safe and be careful! DS

Went to Cullman Dispatch today and talked to Santa briefly via sat phone. He and the elves are very busy! He had to schedule an extra hour in Cullman tomorrow night because ALL of the nearly 900 students at CCPS have been good this year. We are very proud! Merry Christmas!

Santa is on his way delivering gifts to children around the world! Keep up with his journey online via the NORAD Santa Tracker: 📸 Look at this post on Facebook noradsanta.org/en/map?fbclid=…

The reason…

Every day is filled with opportunities to touch other lives in a positive manner. Each of these opportunities is a blessing. Wake each day with the mindset of being a blessing to as many as possible. Count those blessings at night before going to sleep. This will give you peace.

An effective SRO is selfless. To the best SROs, the days spent at the schools are all about the students, not about the SRO. You rarely hear the words “I” or “me” from an SRO, because his or her focus is on the “them”- the students.

Parents in the blue lane and yellow lane- please load and unload your children on the driver’s side of your vehicle (closet to the awning). This is for the children’s safety and the safety of our faculty and staff. Thank you!

Students return to school on April 1. Happy Spring Break! Elizabeth Shaddix, Ed.D, NBCT

Huge shout out and thank you to our amazing PTO! We couldn’t do it without them. We are truly blessed to have them at CCPS! Please say thank you to them when you see them.

We need SROs -- they bridge the gap between youth and law enforcement, build relationships, serve as positive role models -- and data shows that in the event of the unimaginable, SROs are the best line of defense to keep children safe! #RealityOverRhetoric #SROsAreValuable
