Metro Nashville Public Schools is committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment. Meigs students are expected to always dress appropriately showing respect for themselves and others. Therefore,
- All tops and bottoms must cover all private parts.
- Shredded/ripped/torn jeans may be worn as long as no skin is showing (wearing leggings underneath, for example).
- Undershirts/tank tops/spaghetti straps are prohibited for males and females. If worn, they must be worn with another “cover up” shirt.
- Shoulders, backs, chests, and midriffs must be covered.
- Safe footwear must be worn at all times. Flip flops, house shoes, slippers, and sandals without a heal strap are not considered safe in case of an emergency.
- Hats and other head coverings (including hoodies and bandanas) are prohibited.
Special Provisions:
- Approved head coverings worn as part of a student’s bona fide religious practices or beliefs shall not be prohibited under this policy. Meigs will provide reasonable accommodation to students whose bona fide religious belief, medical condition, or disability requires special clothing.
- Writing or images of substances that are illegal for teens (i.e. drugs, alcohol, or tobacco products) or are otherwise offensive, lewd, indecent, vulgar, obscene, profane or gang-related, or constitute racial or ethnic slurs, may not be worn.
- Chains and spiked accessories are not permissible.
Meigs reserves the right to modify this policy as necessary and reserves the right to determine what might be disruptive and unsafe.
