Prevent Child Abuse Vermont
INTRODUCTION
Your child is taking part in the We Care Elementary Program. This program is a sexual abuse prevention program that promotes healthy relationships at an age appropriate level for 4th and 5th grade students. The program includes a classroom curriculum and training for staff, and information for parents and caregivers. We Care is part of The Healthy Relationships Project, a series of three programs (Care for Kids, We care Elementary, and SAFE-T) provided by Prevent Child Abuse Vermont (PCAV) serving children ages 3-13, their families, and schools. For more information about the healthy Relationships project, please visit Prevent Child Abuse Vermont.
APPROACH TO PREVENTION
All healthy relationship Project Programs include a common approach to prevention. Central to the healthy relationship project approach to prevention are the following beliefs:
Adults are responsible for protecting children and adolescents from abuse.
Violence can be prevented through helping students build healthy relationships.
Comprehensive prevention includes victim and victimizer prevention and bystander engagement.

ACT 1: SCHOOL COMMUNITIES
In 2009, the Vermont legislature passed Act 1, requiring that all school staff be trained in child sexual abuse prevention and that all parents be givent he opportunity to receive sexual abuse prevention information. In addition, the law requires that sexual abuse prevention education be part of comprehensive health education K-12. The law went into effect for schools on July 1, 2011 and PCAV has partnered with schools to assist them as they work to meet these requirements across the state.
Education is the best way to provide communities with the tools to prevent and respond to sexual abuse. PCAV provides training, curriculum materials, resources, and co-teaching support in your child’s school.
For more information on curriculum being taught to 4th and 5th grade students, please contact your School Counselor, Coori Sellers, at csellers@ewsd.org or 857-7701.

Bus Drivers Needed!
Come work for STA/Mountain Transit!
This is a great job for parents of school-aged kids, folks looking for a partial-retirement job, individuals looking to grow a career in the commercial driving industry, or anyone who wants to give back to our community.
Let Mountain Transit tell you why:
- Paid Commercial Drivers License (CDL) training: Class B license with Passenger and School Bus endorsements. To get this license on your own can cost up to $7,000, here we will pay you. The only thing we do not pay for is your physical license.
- Great Pay: After you get your CDL and endorsements, the minimum pay at Mountain Transit is $20.50 per hour. Yes, that is right, starting at $20.50 an hour!
- Newer vehicles: All vehicles used here are 10 years old or newer, this keeps down mechanical repairs.
- Earned time off: You will earn time off that will accumulate.
- Safety: Safety is our main goal, including in these unusual times, CDC protocol is followed to a T.
Our goal is to get the working force working again. In South Burlington there are 256 people collecting unemployment, Burlington there are 689, Essex 266, Colchester 288, Milton 166, and Winooski 155. We need you and you need us. Come and see what we are all about here at Mountain Transit.
