Transition Planning for Military Families

  • Registration: At Viera High School, we align our registration process with that of Brevard Public Schools. Please be sure to reach out to our front office at 321-632-1770 to ensure you have everything you need to register your incoming child. Additionally, here are a few tips to help make your child's transition to Viera High School smoother:

    • Ask your child's current school for your child's records to be sent to Viera High School if you already know our school is where you and your family will enroll.

    • If your child is receiving Exceptional Education Services, ask your child's current school for a copy of their Individualized Education Plan.

    • Have these items in advance:

      • Government issued identification

      • Proof of Residency
