Dress Code

Dear Parents/Guardians,

As voted upon by the Waukegan School Board on May 24, 2005 a uniform policy for Waukegan students will be in effect for the 2005/06 school years. This school year students at Little Fort will be required to wear white collared polo shirts or navy blue sweatshirts and navy blue pants, navy blue shorts or navy blue skirts (knee length). Students may also wear any of our spirit clothing with our name and logo on it.

There will be a grace period of one week for new students and returning students who were unable to purchase uniforms during the summer months. ALL students are expected to be in their official school uniforms every day. We believe that school uniforms instill in our students a sense of belonging and help strengthen school unity.

The official school colors are navy blue and white. Listed below you will find the types of clothing that will be acceptable at Little Fort School.

ACCEPTABLE
Navy blue jumpers and skirts
Navy blue shorts and skorts
Navy blue pants
White shirts with collar

Black shoes are encouraged, but gym shoes are acceptable. Shorts under the skirt or jumper are highly recommended for girls on gym days.

UNACCEPTABLE
Blue jeans T-shirts with no collar
T-shirts with designs or colors
