Lackland ISD Extends Application Eligibility for Non-resident Transfers
Each year Lackland ISD accepts a limited number of student transfers. Transfer acceptance is based on the number of available slots at each grade level and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Potential transfer students must meet transfer eligibility criteria to be considered. Because a Non-resident Transfer is a privilege rather than a right, it is important to stress that transfer students will be subject to the Non-resident Transfer Agreement.
On Tuesday, March 22, 2022, Lackland ISD’s Board of Trustees approved Superintendent Dr. Burnie Roper’s recommendation to extend non-resident transfer exemptions. Under the newly adopted Board policy, Lackland ISD shall accept a transfer request only for a student who is a military dependent, a child of a District employee, or a child of a civilian employed on Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA).
Parents may apply for a non-resident transfer under one of the following exemptions.
*The parent is serving on active military duty and is assigned to JBSA.
*The parent is retired from active military duty, regardless of when the parent retired or whether the child was enrolled in the District when the parent retired.
*The resident District student becomes a non-resident during the course of a school year, and the parent separates from active military duty in a manner other than retirement.
*The parent is employed by the District or is a civilian employed on JBSA.
All applications will be processed electronically. All requests will be checked for accuracy. Any false or missing information may result in your application not being processed and/or denied
Effective Monday, March 28, 2022, Lackland ISD will be accepting non-resident transfer applications online. To apply for non-resident transfer consideration, please complete the application using this link: https://lacklandtxc.scriborder.com/

The 2022 Stacey Talent show was on Wednesday, April 20th. It was after school in the Stacey Auditorium. This was for both middle schoolers and high schoolers, so there was one winner for each. There were many entries, including singing, dancing, and acting. There were three entries from Middle School and six entries from High School. Ivy and Aaliyah McClellan were the hosts of the Talent Show, and introduced every performer and what they were doing before they went on stage. The Middle School Performers included Janae Nelloms, Olive O'Brien, and Janessa Hernandez. High School performers included Ivy, Maggie King, Jaylin Edwards, Dania Antunez, Jordan (Young Jot), Jayden, Sora Smith, Janessa Smith, Grace O'Brien, Aaliyah McClellan and Abigail Morales.

The winners for the Middle Schoolers were Olive O’Brien who
performed “Where Are You Christmas” with her mom, who was dressed as the Grinch. The winner for the High Schoolers was Dania Antunez, who performed a traditional Paraguay dance, called “Viajando Voy”. There was a $5 entry fee, because all the funds collected go to the class of 2025 and 2024 for things like Prom and Graduation. This was a Student Council event, and many people showed up and supported their fellow classmates. A special thanks goes out to teachers and staff who helped make this possible, including Mr Richard, Mrs. Guyton, Mr. Castillo, Ms. Salazar, Mrs. Henderson, Mrs. Strahan, and Ms. Baltazar. Overall, the 2022 Talent Show was a fun, exciting experience for everyone. We hope to see you at next year's show!

Cinco de Mayo Celebration
|
|
|
Cinco de Mayo is an annual celebration held on May 5, which commemorates the anniversary of Mexico's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Led by General Ignacio Zaragoza, the victory of a smaller, poorly equipped Mexican force against the larger and better-armed French army was a morale boost for the Mexicans.
Zaragoza died months after the battle from an illness, and a larger French force ultimately defeated the Mexican army at the Second Battle of Puebla and occupied Mexico City.
More popular in the United States than in Mexico, Cinco de Mayo has become associated with the celebration of Mexican-American culture. Celebrations began in California, where they have been observed annually since 1863. In Mexico, the commemoration of the battle continues to be mostly ceremonial, such as through military parades or battle reenactments. The city of Puebla marks the event with various festivals and reenactments of the battle.
Cinco de Mayo is sometimes mistaken for Mexico's Independence Day—the most important national holiday in Mexico—which is celebrated on September 16, commemorating El Grito de Dolores in 1810, which initiated the war of Mexican independence from Spain.
Cinco de Mayo has been referenced and featured in entertainment media, and has become an increasingly global celebration of Mexican culture, cuisine, and heritage.
