Standard School Attire – The dress code for Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, commonly referred to as “Standard School Attire” will continue with a few minor changes for 2008-2009.
  • MNPS will allow fleece fabric for sweaters and lightweight jackets to be worn indoors.
  • Students in grades PreK through second will be exempt from the belt requirement.
  • Schools that chose to select fewer than four additional shirt colors from the standard blue and white, will be allowed to add colors, up to the limit of four, for the 2008-09 school year. Families should check with their individual schools for the most current list of approved colors.
  • Hoodies of any type are not allowed for indoor wear.
As a reminder, MNPS revised its dress code in 2007. Standard Attire includes navy blue, black or khaki slacks, shorts or skirts and white or navy blue shirts with short or long sleeves and a collar. As indicated above, each school may also select up to four additional colors for shirts.
