Programs
Alta Loma Elementary offers many extracurricular activities for students to participate in before school, after school, and on Saturdays.
LA'S BEST - AFTER SCHOOL
LA’s BEST was created in 1988 by Mayor Tom Bradley to address an alarming rise in the lack of adequate adult supervision of children during the critical hours between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.
The mission of LA's BEST is to provide a safe and supervised after school education, enrichment and recreation program for elementary school children ages 5 to 12 in the City of Los Angeles.
All children need a safe place to be after school with caring, responsible adults and engaging activities that connect each child to his/her school, family and community.

READY SET GO - BEFORE SCHOOL
READING TO KIDS - SATURDAY
Reading to Kids is a grassroots organization dedicated to inspiring underserved children with a love of reading, thereby enriching their lives and opportunities for success in the future. To this end, Reading to Kids gathers on average 899 children and 439 volunteers at reading clubs on the second Saturday of every month at eight Los Angeles elementary schools.
At the monthly reading clubs, pairs of volunteers read aloud to small groups of children, while their parents receive training on how to encourage their children to read at home. Kids, parents, teachers, and school libraries receive book donations at the end of the Reading Clubs. These are important donations, as 60 percent of low-income homes do not have age-appropriate reading materials for children.
