New 5th Grade Class Opening at

North Oakland Community Charter School (NOCCS)

Many friends of ours go to North Oakland Community Charter School (NOCCS). The school is opening a new 4th/5th grade classroom this Fall (Sept 2007). They have enough 4th graders to fill it, but still looking for 5th graders. One thing to know about this school is that if an older sibling is inthe school, it gives siblings an automatic preference next time there is an opening for the sibling's grade. Anyone with a current 4th grader who is also scrambling to find a kindergarten for their youngerchild might want to take note, as NOCCS kindergarten admissions is highly competetive. NOCCS is also planning to open its first 6th grade (with the idea of growing into a K-8 school) in the Fall of 2008, so a 5th graderentering NOCCS this coming Fall is likely to have a built in middle school. NOCCS is a public charter school, and therefore free.
