Viera Elementary Happenings
January 4, 2023
Welcome to Viera Elementary
There will be no morning mile tomorrow. Morning Mile will resume the week of January 10th!
During this time of year, we see many students bringing warm or hot drinks with them each morning (coffee, tea, hot chocolate). Please do not send students to school with any warm or hot drinks. If the drink were to spill on your student or another student, it could cause harm. Thank you for helping to ensure the safety of all students.
As a reminder, this Friday is a regular dismissal day as it is serving as our last Hurricane Ian make up day. Students will be dismissed at 2:30 PM. Monday, February 20th and Monday, April 24th will now serve as Hurricane Nicole make up days. Students will now report to school on those dates.
Due to the calendar change, our parent conference night will now be held on Thursday, January 26th from 5:00 - 6:30 PM by appointment only. If you would like to schedule a conference with your child's teacher during that time, please contact them.
Thank you for your continuous support of Viera Elementary. Please reach out anytime you have a question or concern.

Valderrama Orthodontics
We have been given a generous donation and partnership opportunity with Valderrama Orthodontics. With the banner, they donated $300 to our school. PLUS, they have a Student Discount Incentive paired with a School Donation. Scan the QR code and you will see that Falcon students can get 5% off of their treatment and a $100 donation to our school from Dr. Valderrama. So awesome!
I am placing cards in the teacher workroom. Feel free to grab a few and pass out to families or embed a photo in your newsletter. You are also welcome to use my photos below. 😊 Please held spread this opportunity to families. Orthodontic treatment is pricey. This partnership can help our families with cost, while also bringing cash to our school!

Lunch with your Student
Beginning, the week of September 6, parents will be able to eat lunch on campus with their child one day a week. This will be each Wednesday and spots will be limited, so parents must sign up in advance at https://signup.com/go/hefokio. Additionally, there are some guidelines which must be followed to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone on campus:
- · Parents must be on time for their child’s scheduled lunch time.
- · Parents must communicate with their child’s teacher that they will be coming to lunch on that day.
- · Parents must sign in at the front office and then will be escorted to the cafeteria to meet their child if they are not a registered volunteer.
- · There will be a designated table that the parent and student will sit at, this will not be with the class.
- · Parents may only have lunch with their child, no exceptions will be allowed.
- · While having lunch with your child, no cameras or phones taking pictures are permitted to protect the privacy of other students and families.
- · We strongly encourage younger siblings to stay home as we will have limited seating available.
- · Visitors/Volunteers are expected to dress appropriately when visiting campus.
- · Once your child’s lunch is over, they will promptly join their class to dismiss. Parents are not able to follow their child/the class back to the classroom and will sign out in the front office.
