COVID-19

Lackland ISD closed both Lackland Elementary and Stacey Jr-Sr High School beginning on March 1, 2020. 

The district continues to remain in touch with local and state health authorities, but the situation is very fluid and predicting a return date is difficult at this time.  Texas Governor Greg Abbott has ordered schools closed through May 1, 2020.

School closures are aimed at helping to reduce the pace at which the virus spreads.  This, in turn, keeps our local healthcare resources from being overwhelmed.

During the cold and flu season, our excellent custodial staff automatically upgrades their efforts to focus on high-contact areas such as door handles as well as common usage areas such as the Media Center.   They work hard to keep your child protected from all viruses -- not just COVID-19 -- by sanitizing our common areas each and every day.

Classroom teachers were also provided with disinfectant wipes and spray disinfectants to address any issues that might arise during regular cleanings.

You can help us keep your child healthy by following basic prevention techniques and teaching these techniques to your child. These techniques do work on the novel coronavirus. Basic prevention techniques for any virus are:

• Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently with soap and water, and especially before you eat! (Two rounds of the “Happy Birthday” song.)
• Don’t touch your eyes, nose, or mouth until you’ve washed your hands.
• Use hand sanitizer when you can’t wash your hands
• Keep frequently-touched objects and surfaces clean and disinfected
• Avoid close contact with those who are sick
• Stay away from others if you’re feeling ill. Children with a fever should stay home from school until their temperature has been normal (less than 100°F per the student handbook) for at least 24 hours without the assistance of medication and their symptoms have improved.
