Hello Enroll@

 

My student (student’s name), DOB (student’s birthday), is a rising (student’s grade next school year) grader and currently slated to attend (current OUSD school offer) in Fall 2025. (student name) is currently a (student’s current grade) grader at Urban Montessori Charter School.

 

Please rerank our application so that Brookfield Elementary is our top choice.

 

Thank you for your support,

If you currently live in a district outside of Oakland, you should still apply through the process above, and also do the following:

 

  1. Contact your current district of residence and fill out the inter-district transfer form from the county

  2. Under “reason” fill out “Specialized Program” and turn in the form

  3. Once your home district approves the transfer, email the approval to enroll@ousd.org

  4. The inter-district transfer is good for your student’s elementary years unless you live in West Contra Costa where you would have to fill out the form each year. 

  5. You can enroll in Brookfield while going through the inter-district transfer process, before your transfer is approved.

 

Additionally, if you put in an application to Brookfield, please fill out the survey below so we have our own list of families that have applied! 

 

If you have any questions about the process please reach out to enrollment@urbanmontessori.org
