Jasper Elementary School is located in the residential community of Alta Loma, in Southern California.  We are one of ten schools in the Alta Loma School District in the city of Rancho Cucamonga.

Jasper Elementary School opened in the fall of 1975.  Our school population reflects the cultural diversity of the community.  Our staff services students in regular education as well as students with special needs. We provide enrichment opportunities for our students by offering Gifted and Talented Education (G.A.T.E.), music, after-school programs, Academy of the Arts, student leadership opportunities and more.

The instructional approaches used to implement our instructional program include team planning, team teaching, whole group, small group, leveled and individualized instruction utilizing both direct and cooperative learning techniques. The school plan is outlined by staff, and then given to the School Site Council for final revision and approval. Ongoing planning includes scheduled component meetings as well as frequent data review.

Jasper Elementary School encourages parent participation and community involvement, which facilitates a feeling of warmth, belonging, and encouragement. Our efforts to provide this nurturing environment allow our students to grow and reach their maximum potential.

We believe that...

• Every child can learn.

• Education is teamwork and required commitment and involvement from each student, parent, and staff member.

• Learning must be rigorous and relevent.

• Learning must occur in an environment that is safe, orderly, and caring.

• Providing our students with a high quality education will better prepare them to face the challenges of their world and the future.

• High expectations are achievable as we strive for excellence.

• Giving our personal best in our efforts and attitude is essential to our individual and team success.

• Recognizing the importance of each person's uniqueness helps to build a community that is sensitive and accepting of individual differences.

• Taking personal responsibility for our actions and behavior will make our community a better place in which to live, work, and play.

It is our mission as educators to ensure that all students achieve at high levels of learning through collaborative teamwork using timely and appropriate assessments, monitoring, and support systems.
