Dear Camacho Cosmos Community,
As we close the window for feedback regarding morning drop-off at Camacho, we want to express our gratitude for the valuable suggestions and insights shared by our community. Your feedback is essential in helping us create a smoother and safer drop-off experience for everyone. We will take the time to carefully sort through all the suggestions and develop a plan that addresses the needs of our families while prioritizing student safety in every decision we make. Our commitment to ensuring a secure environment for our students remains at the forefront as we make necessary tweaks and improvements. Thank you for your continued support and collaboration as we work together to enhance our morning routines!
Thank you Cosmos Community! We are always #BETTERTOGETHER!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Gonzaba
Proud Principal of Camacho Elementary
Attendance:
Did you know that missing 2 days of school a month means a child misses 2% of the school year? Which means that is 10% of learning that your child is missing. This year, LISD is working hard to get all students to school on time so that we continue to grow our learners. The LISD attendance policy has been changed and updated for the 24-25 school year. Please take the time to look at the LISD Attendance Flyer to educate yourself more on attendance.
This year, LISD will be holding students and parents/guardians accountable for excessive and/or unexcused absences. After 7 unexcused absences, Camacho Administration will be reaching out to create a plan of action to help families become successful with attendance and increase educational opportunities. Please note that after 10 excessive unexcused absences, LISD has the right to file truancy.
If your child is going to be absent because he/she is sick, has an appt etc., please send in a doctors note to camattendance@leanderisd.org in order for the absence to be excused.
Classes will be setting weekly/monthly attendance goals soon. We encourage you to set a personal attendance goal with your child at home as well. We look forward to partnering with families this year so that our students continue to grow.

No food delivery services for student lunches or birthdays please
However, parents can bring their students’ a lunch from home or a store/restaurant lunch, and follow check-in procedures at the front office to get those special lunches to your students. Thank you for your understanding.
If you are using our food services on campus, you can add money to your child’s account. For more information please click on this link.
Front Office Info:
Remember to plan appointments accordingly 2:15 cut off time for the last student pick up.
Transportation changes must be called in by 1:30pm to ensure your student receives the message.
Cosmos Cafe Lunch Visitors
To enjoy lunch with your student(s) you may either bring in lunch for you and your Cosmos or buy lunch from our cafeteria for a charge of $4, cash or check only please. You may eat with your student(s) in the cafeteria in the Cosmos Cafe area (round tables). Please make sure you sign in and out at the front office and that your visitors badge is visible at all times. Enjoy this special time with your Cosmos!
**Ice cream and other snacks are back and available for purchase at lunch! It is very exciting, however, purchasing these items creates an additional charge to your child's lunch account. Parents have the ability to set monetary limits or turn off "snack options" from your student's lunch account online. Please log into your students' Titan account to make these changes.
