Welcome to Earle C. Davis Primary

We are a kindergarten through second grade school and one half of the North East Elementary Center . Three-hundred sixty students, fifty teachers and instructional support staff, and hundreds of parents, grandparents, and friends spend each school year together.

E.C. Davis Primary was built and first opened in 1967. Originally, it housed grades one and two. Later, kindergarten and grade three were added, along with central administrative offices. Then in January 2000, the North East Elementary Center was dedicated. Davis Primary had been completely renovated. The Heard School was closed and grades three, four and five moved to become the other half of the Center, now known as North East Intermediate Elementary. These two schools under one roof share a library, cafeteria, gymnasium, pool, large group instruction room, and several other instructional areas. Staffs of both schools work closely together to create a seamless elementary program.

Two of the hallmarks of Davis Primary are the quality of families that send us their children, and the dedication and expertise of the teaching staff. Thankfully, our parents have high expectations for their children and for us. They are actively involved in our programs through a number of volunteer programs. Primary among these are the Parent Teacher Organization and the parent volunteers. They are highly knowledgeable about our primary curriculum and programs.

The teachers of E.C. Davis are as capable and professional as one could find anywhere. They have dedicated themselves to each child and have as their mission the child's success. This positive attitude can be seen everywhere throughout the school.

Enjoy navigating around our Davis pages. Better yet, become a part of our Davis family.

Our Counselor
The Elementary Counselor for kindergarten through fifth grade is Ms. Remlee Peck.  Her office is located across the hall from the Davis Primary Computer Lab.

In addition to meeting with students, teachers and parents individually, Ms. Peck offers classroom guidance programs in grades kindergarten through five.  Some of the topics covered are self-esteem, anger management, drug education, respecting yourself and others, feelings, making good choices, friendship, bullying/teasing and conflict resolution.

A support group for children experiencing separation or divorce is available for students in grades three through five with parent permission.  Called BANANA SPLITS, these grade level groups meet every other week during their lunch time.

Parents interested in videos or books to assist them with the difficult job of parenting are welcome to borrow materials from the Lending Library in the Guidance Office.  The office houses numerous books for children.  There are books that also cover a wide range of topics such as death, divorce, bullying, lying, etc.

Questions regarding district testing or special education needs of elementary students may be directed to Ms. Peck as she is testing coordinator and elementary special education contact for the district.
