Letter from Principal Soliz
September 6, 2024
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Good morning!
Hope everyone a beautiful weekend. Thank you to all the grandparents who joined their grandchildren on Thursday and Friday! Students were very excited and proud to have their grandparents on campus.
Tuesday, September 10 is Open House. We begin at 5:30-6:45. Every teacher will have a presentation prepared. Presentations will be held every 15 min. We will make announcements notifying parents that its time to rotate to the next teacher's classroom. Don't forget to visit our library, gym, art, music, and Project Lead the Way, and dyslexia classrooms! Our counselors and communities in Schools program managers will be available, if you would like to visit.
PK teachers will have a longer presentation. Their first session begins at 4:30 and session 2 begins at 5:00.
Enter through the cafeteria.
We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday!!
Yvette Soliz, Principal

Thank you for understanding that safety comes before convenience at Camino Real.

District Dress Code
Our District School Board has approved the 2024-25 dress code. Reference it before you go school shopping for your children. Happy Tax-Free weekend!
Traffic patterns
Due to increase in student enrollment. We changed our traffic pattern last year with the help and support of our District's Safety and Security Department. We were charged with getting traffic off of Rhode Rd as quickly as possible for our community. Please go slow, be patient with us and each other.
The map below shows the traffic plan.
- Orange triangles are cones and signify closed to traffic.
- The purple arrows are the entry point to the school.
- The green arrows are the exit.
Dismissal Procedures
This is a reminder.
Per our district policy, if you are picking up your child after-school, you MUST remain in the car line. Parents who chose to park and walk-up will not get served until all the cars are gone. It is faster to stay in line.
Thank you for following our district and campus procedures.
Smart tags
What are Smart tags?
Hays CISD uses the Secured Mobility Authorized Ridership Technology (SMART) tag system for all students who ride the bus to and from school. Each of our buses is outfitted with a tablet equipped with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader, mobile connectivity, and GPS. Students place their campus-supplied SMART tag ID badges on the tablet's sensor when loading and unloading their bus.
Students are required to wear Smart Tags on the bus.
How can I track my child?
Download the NEW SMARTtag Parent App!

Planning on picking up your child before the end of the day?
If you have an appointment, and you must take your child from school early be on campus before 2:00 pm. If you arrive after 2, we will not release your child. No expections. We need your help in adhering to our policy. Plan your pick up so you are at Camino Real on time.
Change of transportation
Call the office for all transportation changes. Do not call the teacher. We have procedures to ensure that you child is prepared for the mode of transportation that you have requested. Please call the office as early as possible and before 1:00 pm.
Safety Changes
Only 5 people allowed in the office at a time. This is district policy. Our front office staff keeps our school safe by manning the door that allows visitors into the building. The fewer people in the office the more vigilant they can be in keeping that door secure. Thank you for helping us keep our school safe. Safety is never convenient.
