Letter from Principal Soliz
January 8, 2024
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Happy New Year!
I truly wish all of you a great 2025! Cheers to a year filled with many blessings, successes and beautiful memories.
Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our Winter Wonderland in December. We loved seeing our students excited to see Santa Claus!
Congratulations parents and students! CRES was one of the schools that showed attendance improvement. We appreciate it. We are 7th most improved. Let's work on coming to school everyday. Remember attendance matters, and we want to see you here.
Be on the look our for MAP and mClass reports. These reports give you information on your child's growth in math and reading.
The district communications department has added a weather widget into all campus webpages. It is located on the far right side of our home page, scroll down and you will see current conditions displayed under a âWeatherâ banner. In addition, it is on the district's webpage under the Parents & Students tab. This page provides information about inclement weather, such as planning for bad weather, delay start times, and how decisions are made when the weather is questionable. Take a look. Use the link to go to the district's web-page.
It's going to be a great year! Together we can make it a great year for our Camino Real community.
Yvette Soliz, Principal
Message from the Camino Real Student Council:
Bilingual/ESL Parent Night
This meeting is for students who qualified for the bilingual program K-5. We will discuss the state mandated Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS), the changes to the program, and how to help your child with English language acquisition.
Morning drop off
Please be patient when you are dropping off students. As a reminder, stay in line. It is not allowed to pass cars to park in the drop off zone. For the safety of all students, staff and parents, wait your turn. We open doors at 6:50 to help out families. There is very little traffic at this time. It's a great option for parents that need to be at their destination early.
Digital Citzenship
Students today have access to technology and a worldwide web of information. This is why teaching young people why digital citizenship is important for their present and future is vital. Students need to develop digital literacy and digital health to navigate the online world safely and responsibly. Below is a guide parents can use to support digital citzenship at home. We can't stop our child from using technology, but we can definitely help them with decision making, empathy and safety. If you need information on digital citizenship, let us know. We are here to help.
Box Tops
Buy the brands you already love and make a difference for your school! Just scan your receipt within 14 days of purchase to earn cash for your school with every participating product you buy.
Late arrivals
Arriving late? Please walk you child into the office and sign them in. It's for their safety.
Five in the office
Per district policy, only five visitors in the office at a time.
Why?
Our office staff is responsible for individuals entering our school. This safety procedure ensures that staff appropriately accounts for individuals going into the main building. It is strictly for accountability and safety of our children and staff.
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.
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.
