On June 1st, it was announced that Illinois would not require school districts to observe Election Day in 2026. Therefore, the district is planning to amend the 2026-2027 calendar.

We will move the first day of teachers' institute to Tuesday, August 11, 2026, and the first student attendance day will be an early dismissal on Wednesday, August 12, 2026.

Election Day on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, will be a day of student attendance. The board will officially approve the change at the July 14, 2026, board meeting. At that time, the updated calendar will be shared!

The Morton Orchestra is very grateful to have received a $2400 grant award from The Morton Community Foundation!

This allowed the purchase of three new cellos to be used at Morton Junior High School. Mr. Akers said the students have already started making wonderful music and are appreciative of this amazing gift!

Our staff is kicking off summer break with a day full of learning. The instructional coach team organized and led an impressive Always Learning Conference, thanks to the help of the numerous staff presenters! We can all learn from someone and today was a “What can you take and use tomorrow (aka next year)?” day. Thanks for a job well done, coaches. Teachers and staff, thanks for your commitment to learning. Learning never stops!
