Students investigated whether viruses should be classified as living things -- a question that requires careful analysis and scientific reasoning.
Students reviewed the eight characteristics that define living things. Students read articles about viruses and highlighted evidence supporting both sides of the debate. Students used CER (Claim-Evidence-Reasoning) to defend their positions with scientific support. This activity challenges students to think like scientists by analyzing evidence, evaluating information critically, and constructing scientific arguments -- skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom. Mrs. Harris is proud of the curiosity and critical thinking her students are demonstrating.

The new school year will be here before we know it. 🎒 To make sure your child has a smooth start, it's crucial to update their information with the school. Don't wait until the last minute!

Safety First: Ensure the school has current emergency contacts and medical information. 2. Stay Informed: Get all school updates and important announcements. 3.

Over the next couple of weeks, Meigs County Schools will be providing firearm safety education to all students in grades K–12, as required by a new Tennessee state law passed this school year. The instructional materials were developed by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security in partnership with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.
This education will be delivered with the support of representatives from these agencies, along with our district’s School Safety Program and School Resource Officers. The goal of this instruction is to promote awareness, responsible decision-making, and safe behaviors that help protect students and our community.
Firearm-related injuries are currently the leading cause of death among children and teens in the United States. Because of this, providing age-appropriate, prevention-focused safety education is an important step in helping students understand the risks and how to respond safely if they encounter a firearm.
Parents and guardians have access to the materials being shared with students, along with additional resources designed to help reinforce these important safety messages at home. https://www.meigsgschool.net/page/firearm-safety-education
If you have any questions about this program, please feel free to reach out to your child’s school principal or Dr. Tad Roberts, School Safety Director.
Thank you for your continued support in helping us keep our students safe.
Sincerely,
Meigs County Schools
