Abbott Middle School will join all of the other Waukegan middle schools in requiring students to wear school uniforms starting the 2005-2006 school year. 

All students will wear solid black or purple tops (collar or t-shirts) with khaki or black pants.  Khaki or black shorts, skirts, or capris may be worn during hot weather and appropriate black or purple sweaters or sweatshirts (no hoods) may be worn in the colder months.  We also have the following dress regulations that we enforce.

  1.  No shirts or clothes with any writing, pictures, prints, or designs except for Abbott Middle School logo clothing.

  2.  No hooded apparel.

  3.  No blue jeans, sweat pants, pajamas, or cargo pants.

  4.  No open toed/heeled shoes. No sandals, flipflops or slippers.

  5.  No short shorts!  Shorts must cover the thigh.

  6.  Splits in skirts must be only to the knee.

  7.  No mesh see through outfits.

  8.  No tube or tank tops.

  9.  No bathing suits.

10.  No "sexy, revealing outfits".

11.  No heavy make up or lipstick.

This is a school, not a beach or night club.  Students that insist on wearing the above mentioned clothes will be told to put on a gym suit.  If that is refused, students will be sent home to change.  We will ask that heavy make up be removed.  Jackets and hats are to be stored in lockers.
