The PTA is excited to share the programs we have lined up. These programs will be held on-site at the school unless stated otherwise. Bus transportation is not available after these programs. Parents & guardians who have students who take the bus will have to coordinate their own transportation home.
All after-school programs providers are accountable for operating the programs (registration, logistics, payment, etc.) and are run independently from the PTA. Providers are solely responsible for the children during class time, not Monta Loma Elementary School nor Monta Loma PTA. Should you have any questions about the program, please contact the provider directly.
Mondays: NASA with Mad Science, Grades 2 - 5
Mad Science and NASA have teamed up to bring you the excitement and wonder of space in this new voyage of discovery! See the principles of thrust and propulsion at work in a real rocket launch. Explore the atmosphere on earth and beyond. Watch star dust burn, and journey through a galaxy as you investigate the life cycle of stars. Explore the farthest reaches of our solar system and create a lunar eclipse in this “mad” planetary tour. Check out their flyer.
Dates: Sept 28 - Nov 30, 2026, No Class: 10/12, 11/23

Tuesdays: Bay Area Chess, Grades 1 - 5 CANCELLED
Wednesdays: Magic Tricks with Tree House, Grades 1 - 5 CANCELLED
Thursdays: Clay World Building with Lando, Grades K - 2
Sculptors work their way through the great outdoors—hatchlings in Nature's Nursery, a postman snail in Garden Party. Every build teaches a real skill—joinery, proportion, texture—and teachers tailor each challenge, from rolling a perfect sphere to balancing a dinosaur on one leg. Sculptures come home, and parents get photos after every class. Check out their flyer here.
