School IDs

For returning students:

Make sure you locate your students' school ID from last year so they can use it for this upcoming year. 

If the majority of 7th and 8th graders have their IDs by the start of the year it will allow the "Out Lunch" privilege to begin earlier for these grades. 

School Supplies

Order Now for Delivery Before First Day of School

For your convenience, 75 Morton teachers have already started ordering all of your students' school supplies they will need for the entirety of the 2022-2023 school year.  

This year students only need to show up with a backpack and a pencil case. Yahoo! Pencils, notebooks, folders and erasers will all be distributed to each student the first week of school. 

Pay for your students' school suppliesHERE. You will be directed to our school Family Portal, Membership Toolkit, to create an account or log into your existing account (returning families). From there you will be directed to purchase your students' school supplies.

School supplies are $75 per student.

Please consider sponsoring another student so that everyone will be ready with their supplies the first day back! Sliding scale is also available for families who are experiencing financial difficulties. 

Membership Toolkit Account

As we look forward to this year, all NEW & returning parents need to have an account in Membership Toolkit (the PTA portal) in order to view their student's class assignment in the fall. If you don't already have an account, please take a moment to create one:

REMINDERS
