There’s no pride like TIGER PRIDE! 🐯🧡🖤
It’s Teacher Appreciation Week, and we’re taking a moment to roar for the incredible educators who make Meigs County Schools the best place to learn. From the first bell at Meigs North and Meigs South to the halls of Meigs Middle and Meigs High, our teachers are the heart of this community.
They don’t just teach lessons; they build futures. Thank you for your late nights, your big hearts, and your dedication to every student!
Meigs County Schools Launches K–12 Firearm Safety Program
Over the next few weeks, Meigs County Schools will provide age-appropriate firearm safety education to all K–12 students, as required by the new Tennessee law. These lessons, developed by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, will be taught with support from those agencies, our School Safety Program, and School Resource Officers. The goal is clear: promote awareness, responsible choices, and safe behaviors to protect our students and community.
Firearm-related injuries are now the leading cause of death among children and teens in the U.S., which makes prevention-focused education especially important. Parents and guardians can review the materials and find extra resources to reinforce these messages at home: https://link.edgepilot.com/s/0d4b8c46/gL9hyolWW06SuGfWqvq9lg?u=https://www.meigsgschool.net/page/firearm-safety-education
Have questions? Contact your child’s principal or Dr. Tad Roberts, School Safety Director, at (423) 334-5793 or tadroberts@meigsgschool.net.
