About Davis Primary

Davis Richmond is one school on two campuses spanning grades K – 5. Davis Primary is the K-2 site, while Richmond Intermediate is the 3 – 5 site. Each serves approximately 400 students. Our two buildings are located within a nine-block area at the center of St. Charles. Davis Richmond is one of eleven elementary schools in St. Charles School District 303.

Davis Elementary opened its doors to students in 1956. It was named for Alice B. Davis, a St. Charles graduate and long-time educator serving the district as a 4th Grade Teacher, 7th and 8th Grade Math Teacher and then as Haines Junior High School Principal. We became a primary site in 2011.

Beyond Davis

As students move from 2nd to 3rd grade, they will attend the Richmond Intermediate Campus located just nine blocks north and west of Davis Primary.Upon graduation from elementary school, students will attend Thompson Middle Schools. Students will then rejoin old Davis Richmond Friends at St. Charles East for High School, just three miles east of us. Transition and transportation opportunities are provided as students progress through these levels.

Davis Richmond School Title I Parent Compact

At Davis Richmond, we strive to support all students' success through collaboration with parents. An effective parent-school partnership has a positive impact on student academic achievement. In order to clearly communicate roles and expectations of this partnership, we have outlined the school, parent, and student responsibilities for improved student success in the attached Parent Compact. We ask that all Davis Richmond parents and guardians read through the Compact and send any questions or comments to Lisa Simoncelli-Bulak or Gina Shaw. The teachers and staff at Davis Richmond thank you for your continued involvement in your child’s academic success.
