3rd Quarter News & Notes

Morton Junior High School; January/February, 2024

Welcome back! We hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable Christmas break.

On Monday, I shared with the students that Mrs. Hartzler is on the mend after being involved in a car accident last weekend. In fact, she has been released and is currently resting at home. She expects to be back at school as soon as she is up to it!

2nd Quarter grades are being finalized and report cards will be emailed home this Friday afternoon.
