Our mission
Our mission
The purpose of the Viking Village is to support the education of our students at Whittier Elementary by fostering relationships among the school, parents, and teachers. If you are a parent or caregiver of a child at Whittier Elementary School, congratulations! You are already a member of the Viking Village. We hope to see you at a meeting, event, or volunteering in the classroom, on a committee or fundraiser, at a field trip, or in your home. Your involvement is invaluable. It shows the children how much you value their education and that you support our school and its staff in providing it.

Research recommends delaying the smartphone
Research recommends delaying the smartphone
Parents are coming together to support a simple but powerful idea: delaying the introduction of smart devices for children. Research shows that early internet and social media exposure blocks authentic connections and delays social development, both of which are critical to our children's growing minds and mental well-being. The Wait Until 8th program helps families connect with others in their school who are committed to delaying the introduction of smart devices (or making them safer if your child already has one). Once ten families have pledged from your child’s grade, you'll be notified that the pledge is activated! Wait Until 8th will email you and the other parents who have signed from your child’s grade to connect you with each other. Take the pledge today!
Does your child already have a smart device? You are still encouraged to take the pledge! Wait Until 8th provides resources to help make your child's smart device safer and less addictive. Learn more at Wait Until 8th: Parental Controls.
