Registration Now Open for Stampede Into 7th
We were so sad you missed our yearly STAMPEDE into 6th grade, so we are excited to offer our first ever 7th grade STAMPEDE into Seventh to share more about our culture here at JL Simpson Middle with you! Many of our rising 7th graders have not had an opportunity to step foot in their school yet. We want to provide an opportunity for our Mustangs to get to know their school and meet some new friends before their 7th grade year begins!
Stampede into Simpson for 7th graders will be a one-day event, Friday, August 13th from 9:00 am-3:00 pm.

Stampede is an optional orientation program that will provide your student with opportunities to explore and get to know the Simpson building, staff, culture, and community. The teachers will cover topics such as social changes, routines to middle school, expectations for core subject matters, club information, health and wellness, and many more! There will also be plenty of team building games to create community, get to know school friends, learn the layout of the school and build student relationships.
For questions regarding the Stampede Program please contact Katie Hailey Katharine.Hailey@lcps.org and/or Jennifer Herrin Jennifer.Herrin@lcps.org
For questions regarding scholarships, please contact the 6th Grade Dean Katie Hailey Katharine.Hailey@lcps.org
