Dear Lackland ISD Parents/Guardians:
Beginning Thursday, March 3, 2022, the wearing of masks on school property will be optional or students, staff, and visitors. This change is in line with the JBSA Commander’s recent guidance. We will continue to observe other safety precautions that we currently have in place to include encouraging both students and staff to wash their hands frequently and having hand sanitizer available at the entrances of all buildings and in each classroom and office.
Lackland ISD will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and make changes based on local, state, and federal guidance.
We strongly encourage parents to monitor the health of their children. Please do not send your child(ren) to school if they are sick. If you have questions or comments regarding this guidance,
please contact your campus principal.
Respectfully
Dr. Burnie Roper |

This message includes updates on the COVID-19 response from CDC. The COVID-19 Outbreak is a rapidly evolving situation and information will be updated as it becomes available.
COVID-19 Community Levels
COVID-19 Community Levels are a new tool to help communities decide what prevention steps to take based on the latest data.
Levels can be low, medium, or high and are determined by looking at hospital beds being used, hospital admissions, and the total number of new COVID-19 cases in an area.
Layered prevention strategies — like staying up to date on vaccines, screening testing, ventilation and wearing masks — can help limit severe disease and reduce the potential for strain on the healthcare system.
Some community settings such as schools and congregate settings might include additional layers of prevention (e.g., physical distancing, contact tracing) based on information and data about the characteristics of the setting. Take precautions to protect yourself and others from COVID-19 based on the COVID-19 Community Level in your area. |
|
|
People may choose to mask at any time. People with symptoms, a positive test, or exposure to someone with COVID-19 should wear a mask. |

AFJROTC Recruitment Day
AFJROTC cadets along with Aerospace Science Instructor MSgt. Wayne Guadin came to present to our future Freshman this past Wednesday, March 2nd. John Jay cadets were joined by our Stacey cadets for the presentations. During this time students were given information regarding the program and were able to ask to questions.

The mission of the AFJROTC program is to develop citizens of character dedicated to serving their nation and community. The curriculum is divided into four areas of emphasis: Aerospace Science, Leadership Education, Physical Fitness, and Drill. Active members of the JROTC are given special consideration for four four-year scholarships. These scholarships pay for tuition, books, and fees and cadets also receive a stipend each monthly. Through out the school year there are many special events that cadets participate in. Such as the military ball, annual JROTC picnic, Battle of Flowers parade, annual award ceremonies and many more activities.
Participation in AFJROTC can be used as a substitute for the required Physical Education credit. If your student would like to participate in AFJROTC please send an email to the high school counselor Genevieve Medellin-Keller.

Senior Spotlight: Shannah Flores-Betancourt
By Jordan Fedder, Senior |
|
|
I’d like to take a moment to shine a spotlight on Shannah Flores-Betancourt because she’ is a hard-working senior who is always striving to do her best in everything she does. Determination, strength, wit, and passion— she has it all! Shannah is a fantastic writer who recently participated in our UIL Latino History essay competition and is, in general, an excellent English student here at Stacey. Shannah has also been a wonderful addition to our yearbook staff this year as she was among the first to complete all of her pages, and has offered a great deal of assistance behind the scenes while creating the book.
Where are you from? -I’m from San Juan, Puerto Rico. How long have you been attending Stacey?
-I have been at Stacey since my sophomore year, so only two years. What do you plan to major in and why?
-I plan to major in Psychology. Psychology really interests me because I want to learn why humans act and react the way they do and help people in the process. What are your top college choices?
-My top college choices are: San Antonio College (a community college), UTSA, and UCF (University of Central Florida.) What’s something you’ve always wanted to try or do?
-I have always wanted to use the electric scooters in the big cities. There’s some in downtown San Antonio and in Austin but I’ve never actually been on one. What’s one thing that brings you a lot of happiness?
-Spending time with my family always brings me a lot of joy, it’s like all the puzzle pieces come together when I’m with them. What’s the best and worst part about being a senior?
-The best thing about being a senior is that most of my classes are electives so there’s not a lot of pressure right now in school. On the other hand, the worst part is college applications. What would you tell your freshman self? -I think I would tell my freshman self to be yourself. The people who truly care about you will like you for who you are, and you don’t need to change for anyone’s validation.
Good luck in school, Shannah– you have a world of opportunities ahead of you! #WomenInStem |

If your family is experiencing difficulties at home, I would like to provide additional support at school. I understand that details are not always to be shared and that is okay. If your child is coming to school after a difficult night, morning, or weekend please email me “Handle with Care”. This will let me know that your child may need extra time, patience, help, and a lot of love during the day. As always we are a team and I want to help your child thrive in school.

Lesser and Greater Roadrunners |
|
|
The lesser roadrunner is a slender bird that reaches a length of 18 inches, with the tail itself accounting for about 9 inches of the total length.
The crown, crest and neck of the lesser roadrunner are black with a bronze glow and small light brown spots. The back neck is black-brown, with feathers are lined with a pale brown, so that a brown-white dashes arises. The plumage of the upper body is dark brown with light speckles and lightens to maroon towards the rump, and its breast is white. The flight feathers of the tail are black with a dark purple luster.
Young roadrunners resemble adults, but have yellow to deep brown-colored lines, and duller skin around the eyes. The iris is yellow to brown, with a yellow to silvery-white ring surrounding the pupil. The eye ring is pale lavender to bright blue. The area behind the eye extends to a narrow band that turns into a bright red color on the neck, which is mostly covered by feathers. The upper beak is gray, while the lower beak is bluish-gray.
The lesser roadrunner resembles the greater roadrunner in appearance and habit but is smaller, with a less streaked throat and chest, brownish on the rump and on the outer wings and yellowish undersides. The lesser roadrunner also has a significantly shorter bill. Greater roadrunners live year-round in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, and southern California. They can be seen in deserts, brush, and grasslands. Greater roadrunner or lesser roadrunner...you have to admit these birds add life to our environment!

Stress and COVID
COVID-19 is not only a health crisis, it is a mental health crisis. Between working from home, losing jobs, schools being closed and the real threat of a deadly pandemic, life has gotten very heavy. While the world will never go back to what it was, hopefully this presentation will help provide the tools to adapt to the ever changing world we find ourselves in. This session is brought to you by James Denning from The Denning Center.
