Dear Morton Junior High School Families, Illinois School Code (School Safety Drill Act) requires that all schools prepare and practice for a full school evacuation as part of their school drill procedures. Throughout the school year, we practice drills for a variety of purposes.  We conduct annual fire drills, severe weather drills, and bus evacuation drills.  Schools are also required to work in collaboration with local law enforcement to plan and practice a full scale evacuation drill. This fall, MJHS will be participating in a full school evacuation drill in collaboration with the Morton Police Department.  This drill will take place on Tuesday, October 17 at 8:15am.  We anticipate that the drill will last approximately two hours from beginning to end.  Upon returning to school, students will go about their day with an adjusted class schedule.     Every student, teacher, and staff member (with the exception of certain school office personnel) will be evacuated from the building and
