  • Request Teacher Recommendations from your child’s teachers:
    We use a common East Bay Independent School Association (EBISA) Teacher Recommendation form.  Blank forms are included in the admissions packet and online.  Seven Hills requires recommendations from the following teachers:
    • Your child’s current teacher
    • Your child’s teacher from last year

    Parents should sign the forms prior to providing them to the teachers. Once completed, the recommendations should be sent directly to the Seven Hills Admissions Office.  All information furnished on the recommendation forms is confidential and will only be used for Admissions purposes. The Teacher Recommendation Forms will not be disclosed to the applicant and his or her family.

    For PS/PK:  Please use the Kindergarten Teacher Recommendation Form.
