Lackland ISD Superintendent, Dr. Burnie Roper, facilitated the first Town Hall of the 2025–2026 school year on October 8, 2025. During the event, Dr. Roper shared the district’s vision, mission, and core beliefs, and introduced members of the Board of Trustees and district administrative team.
Attendees received background information about district enrollment trends, campus and district recognitions, as well as recent student and staff achievements. Dr. Roper also provided updates on the district’s accountability ratings for the 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 school years, outlining plans for improvement in targeted areas.
Parents were encouraged to stay engaged and connected through various district communication channels and volunteer opportunities. Questions from attendees addressed topics such as student dress code, accountability, discipline and bullying reporting, and student participation in state assessments.
The next Town Hall meeting is scheduled for January 14, 2026, from 5:00–6:00 p.m. in the Lackland ISD Auditorium.

I got my Bachelor’s degree from University of New Mexico in Communications and Public Relations and my Masters from University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) in Special Education
3. What's your favorite child hood memory?
I grew up camping and fishing and hunting, those were the only family vacations we ever took. So, all of my memories are with family, outdoors hunting or camping.
4. What's your experience so far working at a new school?
I am happy to be here at Stacey. I really like to get to know the students and I try hard to talk to all the students at morning duty or lunch.
5. Who are your favorite music artists?
My favorite artists are Chris Brown, Usher, Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen
6.What is your favorite subject?
I LOVE to read so my favorite subject is ELA, but a close second would be Culinary because I really enjoy cooking.

Thank you, Mrs. Norman!

We were so appreciative of the cooler temperatures this week, and our PreK and Kinder students had fun exploring fall with an imaginative story that illustrates making characters with leaves. We sung about falling leaves and we illustrated some leaves, too. Our littlest Eagles are delightful and ready to learn!

Our first through fifth grade learners considered the food, language, and location of Central American countries to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Our first and second graders heard the fairy tale with the princess and the pea in a Spanish retelling. We had a great time using context and picture clues to discover the Spanish word on each page. Our upper grade students learned about Pura Belpre and her contributions to literature in a wonderful biography. I am so proud of the written connections that our learners made this week. We do have some terrific writers! |
The Student-Teacher-School Compact is a shared agreement that outlines how students, families, and educators will work together to support academic success.

Greetings to our GT Community!
Fall has officially arrived, even if the weather hasn't quite gotten the message! This is the perfect time in the semester to consider a couple of things:
Mid-Semester Check-In: We are just shy of the halfway mark for the first semester. It’s a good time to assess how things are going academically and socially for your child. The Parent /Teacher conference coming this month is a great tool for starting this conversation.
Fall Activities: October is ripe with opportunities for family activities—think pumpkin patches, apple picking, and fall festivals. These outings can be a great way to make memories and offer a fun break from the usual routine.

Dyslexia is a learning difference that affects how the brain processes written language, making reading, spelling, and writing more challenging. With the right instruction and support, students with dyslexia can become confident, successful readers.
Join us for our upcoming Second Cup of Coffee workshop:
“Decoding Strategies for Emergent Bilingual and Dyslexia Students” — an interactive session designed to share practical strategies, insights, and resources for supporting diverse learners.
Where: Lackland ISD Media Center
When: October 24th, 8–9 A.M.
