Talking Points for WeTip Program:

• The Chula Vista Elementary School District (CVESD) is proud to introduce a new anonymous reporting program called WeTip.
• WeTip will enhance safety at CVESD while actively empowering students, staff, and community members to maintain a safe and secure environment.
• CVESD encourages all students, staff, and community members to be vigilant and report concerns – if you see something, say something.
• Whether it’s a safety concern or any situation that raises suspicion, it can be reported quickly and easily online or through a phone call or text message.
• Reporting a tip is easy, anonymous, and confidential.
