LEAD After School Clubs

We wanted to inform you about some important changes regarding the pick-up procedure for students attending the LEAD Club.

Effective immediately, we will no longer be offering curbside pick-up for LEAD Club students. Instead, we kindly ask that all families pick up their student(s) in the auditorium. In two weeks, we will be introducing a new PIN-based system along with a signature requirement for student pick up. We will provide detailed instructions next week on how to access and use these PINs. Each authorized adult will be assigned a specific PIN to ensure a secure and efficient pick-up process.

This new policy is part of our continued efforts to prioritize the safety and security of all our students.

Additionally, if your student will be walking home from the LEAD Club, please send an email to veronica.rawman@cvesd.org to notify us. It is essential that we receive this information to ensure the safety of all students.

Coaches Needed

Camarena is looking for volleyball, kickball and flag football coaches.  Our school would like to participate in the CVESD intramural league starting in October.  The leagues are open to students in grades 4th-6th.  Coaches will be compensated through the CVESD LEAD program.  If you’re interested in becoming a coach, please contact Mr. Morales at gerardo.morales@cvesd.org.
