    Keep in mind that due to capacity at Redwood Heights, placement is not a guarantee. Please contact the OUSD Student Assignment Office at (510) 879-4600 Mon – Fri (closed Wed) 8am – 2pm for more information.

    Returning students need not file an Options form. For new students, you must have filed your Options Form and the appropriate documentation within the options window timeframe.  Go to the OUSD enrollment page for more details. Filing the paperwork does not guarantee admission. Applications turned in after the Options Window closes are considered LATE and will not participate in the first round of lottery and placements.


    School Tour Dates

    Tour dates for the 2023-2024 school year have ended.  


    Applicant Notification: OUSD will send letters notifying you of your child’s school assignment for the 2021-2022 school year. If your letter states Redwood heights as your child’s school, you must complete the required forms and bring your placement letter for Registration at the school's office. If you do not follow the instructions in the letter, your space will be forfeited and given to a child on the waitlist.

     

    Applicant Registration at Assigned School: You must register your child at their assigned school to confirm their assignment. Please check the OUSD Enrollment page for more details.


    What to Keep in Mind:

    • Due to capacity at Redwood Heights placement is not a guarantee. Please contact the OUSD Student Assignment Office for more information.
    • Ensure that parents understand and fully complete all forms for the OUSD Options Program. Visit any other school to which a student may be redirected prior to completing the Options form.
    • Explore all schooling options for their children that they deem appropriate and not assume that every neighborhood child will be admitted to Hillcrest.


    Intra-District Transfers

    It is not expected that there will be any open spots in the upper grades for transfers to Hillcrest from other schools in the district but check with the Student Assignment Office.


    Enrolling After Kindergarten

    All placements at OUSD schools are made through the Student Assignment Office; there are no waiting lists at the school sites. If you missed the Open Enrollment window, please visit the Student Assignment Office.
