Don’t miss the opportunity to attend our upcoming Parent University on Thursday evening, October 6, 2022, from 5:15 – 8:15 pm at Deer Canyon Elementary School. You will soon receive a flyer which includes information about the sessions being offered. The topics for this year’s Parent University will focus on helping your child at home to be successful in school. 

Choice offerings will also include behavioral supports, social and emotional learning, and how to make learning engaging and interactive through educational technology and 21st century learning strategies.

A pizza dinner will be available from 5:15 – 5:45 pm for the entire family. Childcare for children ages 3 and older (must be potty trained) will be offered while parents attend sessions. If you have any questions, please call Belinda Holdridge-Hays at the District Office, 484-5151 extension 102025. We look forward to seeing you there and engaging in this learning together!

National Custodian Day



They work while we sleep and they work during the day. Sometimes we walk around them in the halls, saying "hello," but not always thinking about the importance of their work. That’s why I love this day, National Custodian Day, which rolls around every October 2. It recognizes the hard work that it takes to keep our public facilities in tip-top shape as well as the people who diligently work to make sure we have schools and workplaces that are spotless and sanitary.

Custodians are our first line of defense of the war on germs and often, it’s a thankless task. So, on National Custodian Day, remember to appreciate the custodians who clean the office buildings and schools that you frequent. Our schools, throughout Alta Loma School District, will be showing our appreciation to our amazing custodians this upcoming Monday. We know the hard work and dedication they demonstrate each day for the students and their families that we serve.

I've attached a few pictures of some of our finest: Lennon McCutcheon @ Jasper, Louie Hernandez @ Hermosa, Mitch Reyes @ Carnelian, Harold Monteleone @ Stork, Rudy Ontiveros & Tommy Baker @ Vineyard

Thank you to all of the awesome ALSD custodial members! ALSD staff and families appreciate you greatly!

Together We’re Better at Stork as our students continue to thrive on working together to keep our school the best!

Our amazing students continue to earn ‘Caught Being Good Tickets’ for being respectful, responsible and resourceful. We love to celebrate with our students their hard work, kindness, problem solving and flexibility! 

The Stork staff has an awesome partnership with our SRO Deputy Torres. Not only does she support our school traffic challenges, she supports our students to be their best. 

A special thank you to Deputy Torres who is one of our four School Resource Officers that support six of the ten schools in the ALSD. 

At Alta Loma Junior High, we are constantly looking for opportunities to work with members of our #commUNITY. Whether it is local businesses, or individuals, we love the collaboration. With that, Joshua Johnson (JJ), Troop 652 Rancho Cucamonga, chose Alta Loma Junior High to complete his Eagle Scout Project. JJ worked closely with our administrative team to help restock needed supplies for our school emergency bin. He worked tirelessly to create, plan, network, and ultimately complete his project. JJ was incredibly professional and we are so lucky he chose us to help our Warriors! These are the great things that happen when we come together and work to support one another. THANK YOU, JJ! #commUNITY #warriorPRIDE #together 

Alta Loma's parents are awesome! I had the idea this week of trying to find examples of parent support around campus, but I didn’t realize I’d have such a hard time keeping up with them all.

At ALE, we have parents on any given day volunteering to put supplies together, work in our library, build playground toys, paint doors, and the list just goes on and on. In short, we love our parents, and they love us. Thank you for supporting ALE as we support your little ones.

Carnelian Elementary PTA hosted an incredible Tiki Fun Run event for our students! All students in grades TK-6 were able to participate in warm-up stretches, and watch a Haka to get them pumped up to run as many laps as they could around the fun run course!

PTA volunteers created signs for each class to run through at the start of the course, and students were given a lei, a water and fresh fruit after they finished running their laps! Our students had a great time participating AND through this event, our Carnelian Community raised close to $20,000! This money will go towards field trips, assemblies and special events for our students. 

The fundraising goal was $10,000 and since it was met, Principal Williams will have to spend the day on the roof of the school! Stay tuned for pictures and posts! We are always in awe of the dedication from our amazing PTA and we are grateful they create such wonderful memories for our community!  

I Scream! You Scream! We all Scream for Ice Cream! Last Friday we were able to celebrate our PTA memberships with ice cream, a D.J., and Book Fair. Students, parents, and teachers were excited to dance the night away while eating a yummy treat. The best part was our teachers helped to serve the ice cream, complete with a variety of toppings and a cherry on top. It was a fun night together with our Jasper families. Thank you to our amazing PTA for putting together this event and continuing to support our Champions.
