The Thousand Oaks School was constructed in 1920. The architect was William C. Hayes.
In 1928 a second story was added to the building. The architects were Stone and de Sanno Associated Architects.
In the early years, the site housed the Sunshine School in the section of the site closest to Solano Avenue.
By 1926 there were five buildings and 19 classrooms. There were 565 students enrolled at Thousand Oaks.
In 1935 the building was retrofitted. Much of the original character of the building was removed at this time.
In 1964 an annex was added to the site. It was designed by Wong and Kami Architects. In 1970 there were 629 students enrolled at Thousand Oaks.
In 1993 the architecture firm of Muller Caulfield with Stanley Saitowitz was hired to design a retrofit or a new school. In late 1993 the school building was designated a local landmark. Unfortunately, because of the poor condition of the building, the Board of Education voted to demolish the old structure and build a new building on the same site. The new building was completed in Fall 2000 with a design that follows the history and character of the neighborhood.

Immunization
If your child is new to Berkeley Unified School District or starting preschool, transitional kindergarten, kindergarten, or 7th grade, you will need to provide your child’s school with documentation that your child has been fully immunized. California state law (Senate Bill 277) no longer allows parents/guardians of students to submit a personal belief exemption form for any currently required immunizations.
Children who have not provided BUSD with documentation verifying they have received all required immunizations prior to the first day of school will not be allowed to attend school until all immunization records have been provided.
