Morton Junior High School News and Notes

  Parents and Guardians, Today was another “great day to be a Junior Potter!”  The Help-a-Thon was a great success!  From what I saw and heard from others, our students worked their tails off!  Here is a folder of pictures from today.  Additional pictures will be added.   I wanted to remind everyone that we do in fact have school on Monday, Columbus Day.  There have been years in the past when we had this day off from school, but not this year!  Our next days off will be for parent/teacher conferences on October 24 & 25.  Also, we do not have school on Election Day, November 5, either. Today was the end of the 1st Quarter, and report cards will be emailed home next Friday afternoon. You can still sign up for conferences.  Please use this link to sign up for an in-person conference and this link to request an email update. Also, be sure to select your student’s team when scheduling your conference.  The Teams are listed across the top of the webpage with the White Team page being

Gray Team Parents/Guardians,  Each year the Red & White Club (PTO) coordinates “teacher appreciation” breakfast/snacks for the staff on or around the first Monday of each month.  Instead of asking all parents each month to consider contributing, we will ask one team’s parents each month.  For this month, we are asking the 8th Grade’s Gray Team parents. Please consider donating to this committee for October 7.   Here is the link to this month’s schedule.   Full Link:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0845ADAE2FA0FE3-mjhs2#/ Thank you, Chris Carter Principal

This was emailed to parents on Aug. 25, 2024: Parents / Guardians,  Our 12th annual Help-a-Thon has begun!  Hopefully you saw the envelope and paperwork given out on Friday! Again, participation is voluntary, but we hope you will consider this as this is our ONLY PTO fundraiser and it allows us to provide many great opportunities and resources for students.     As I mentioned at Thursday’s Meet the Teach night, we have a sponsorship opportunity for any business that would like to advertise on the back of our 600+ T-shirts.  The cost is $400 and can be paid via cash or check (made out to MJHS).      Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to participate. Or you can simply complete this form .   We are fortunate and grateful to have such supportive families.   Thank you! Chris Carter Principal
