Hope you can join us for Backpack Night. Here, you can drop off your school supplies, confirm transportation for your child and see our schools. See flyer for more info.

The first day of school is Monday, August 14. Please note that parents are not permitted in the building. Davis and Richmond have all staff on deck to help your child navigate to their classroom once they arrive. Please follow the normal arrival procedures to help your child get used to the morning routines.

• Class assignments are now available. Login to Home Access Center (HAC) to see your child's teacher.

• During returning registration, you had the choice to sign up your child(ren) to ride the bus. If you chose that option, a seat was reserved for your child and we will be sending your child home on the bus at dismissal. Parents will be notified by email on Aug 7th of bus route information, and that information can also be found by logging into E-link.

We will still offer the Davis/Richmond shuttle this year, however you MUST REGISTER to use this service. Please call the school’s main office to sign-up. (Requests must be received by Wed. Aug 9th)

Eating healthy is an important part of the school day. Parents should send a healthy snack with their child every day that will be eaten with the class at a time set by the teacher. The school day is long and children need that extra nutrition. Sending a water bottle is also very handy and avoids needless interruptions going to the drinking fountain. No snacks are available for purchase at school. For healthy snack ideas please click HERE

Breakfast is available through Organic Life Food Service upon arriving at school and will be charged to pushcoin if the child chooses a breakfast. Please talk with your child if you plan for them to eat breakfast at school. The students will eat as class is starting and do not arrive early for breakfast. Please do not send a breakfast from home for your child to eat at school, only school-purchased breakfasts are allowed. There is no eating allowed on the school busses.

Lunch times are 20 minutes in length and students may choose from 4 menu items or may bring their own lunch. The teacher will ask children for their lunch choice at the start of the school day, but parents may review the menu with their child at home. Lunches are also charged through pushcoin.

For lunch/breakfast pricing, application for free/reduced pricing and more, please see the D303Food Services Webpage.

Students are extended the privilege of possessing phones/smartwatches on school grounds; however, their use is limited to after-school dismissal and non-school days. These devices must be in the off position on school grounds, including bus transportation.

• Please join us on August 17th at 7pm in the Davis LRC to meet the board and learn all the ways you can be involved this school year!

• Please use this Year at a Glance to mark important days on your calendar so you don't miss a moment!!

There is a very limited supply of yearbooks from last school year that are still available for purchase! If you are interested, please send $10 cash/check (made out to Davis Richmond PTO) to school with your child, or stop by the Main Office at either school to purchase a yearbook.

Summer is already here - that means it’s time for the Summer Reading Bingo Challenge! To maintain your child’s reading growth from the school year, it is important they continue to read throughout the summer.

Your child brought home a paper copy of the Summer Reading Bingo sheet before the end of this school year. The goal is for your child to complete 12 or more Bingo activities throughout the summer. When your child completes a bingo activity, cross it out and write a parent/guardian’s initials in the square.

In the fall, have your child return the Bingo sheet to their new classroom teacher, so they can receive a book and prize. Please write your child’s new teacher for the fall of the 2023-2024 school year in the top-right corner. Here is the link to the Summer Reading Bingo sheet in English and Spanish in case you need another copy. If you have questions, please contact Ms. Landells at tracie.landells@d303.org.

I encourage families to visit the St. Charles, Geneva, or other area libraries this summer. The Elgin and Schaumburg libraries are beautiful and worth a drive. Our public libraries offer many great programs and resources for all ages, and spending some time reading books at the library is a great way to spend time together. Happy reading!
