Hybrid Starts This Week!
Close to 50% of our students will return this week! While we respect every family's decision to consider what is best for their child(ren) for the remainder of the year, we are genuinely excited that students will enter the doors of Simpson this week! It will be almost a year since students have formally entered the school.
It is our goal to make both the online and in-person experience as exceptional as they can be, but we ask you to be patient with us! This is akin to starting a "new" school year, so we will have inevitable learning opportunities to improve both platforms of instruction.
We cannot wait to see our students!
Yours in service,
Lenny Compton
Principal
Attendance Zones Concerns
From LCPS:
We understand that there has been discussion among community members related to possible middle and high school attendance zone changes for the greater Leesburg area – potentially involving Loudoun County High School and J. Lupton Simpson Middle School. It is anticipated this will be discussed by the School Board in March. As additional information is made available, we will provide it to our greater school community.
Questions about the Attendance Zone Change process should be directed to the Planning Office using the email lcpsplan@lcps.org

Thank You - Ms. Patricia Thomas! (building supervisor)
None of this could be possible without the leadership of our head custodian, Ms. Patricia Thomas. A former Mustang herself, Ms. Patricia unconditionally demonstrates her love for our school and community by keeping it well-maintained both aesthetically and hygienically.
Schools are full of quiet, yet effective heroes whose work often go underappreciated and unnoticed. Simpson would not be the respected facility if we did not have her vision, leadership, and support. Her custodial staff does an amazing job, but it is her work the leads them to be excellent.
Thank you Ms. Patricia!!!
