Morton Elementary School Updates
Morton Families,
Our recent parent teacher conferences were very well attended! Our staff enjoyed the opportunity to celebrate the strengths of our students while also developing goals to maximize the potential of each student moving forward. The 1st quarter has been a very successful and exciting time at J. Sterling Morton Elementary School. None of this would be possible without your continued support!
Our staff would also like to extend a special thank you to the PTA for providing wonderful meals throughout conferences. We are very grateful and fortunate to have such an active and supportive PTA.
We look forward to the second quarter and all of the opportunities that await our students, staff, and families.
