We are committed to keeping our families informed about our commitment to fostering a safe learning environment for scholars and staff. The NJ Anti-Bullying Rights Act (ABR) defines harassment, intimidation, and bullying (HIB) as any gesture, any written, verbal, or physical act, or any electronic communication, whether it be a single incident or a series of incidents, that is reasonably perceived as being motivated either by an actual or perceived characteristic.
Knowing a problem exists is the first step to addressing it! School community members (employees, scholars, parents/guardians, and visitors) are asked to immediately report allegations of harassment, intimidation, or bullying.
We ask that incidents be reported in writing to ensure the details are accurately recorded. If you want to submit an anonymous HIB Incident Report click the following link: Anonymous HIB Incident Report Link

Holbein is committed to transforming how we address student discipline and the daily interactions between our students and teachers. We view every occurrence of wrongdoing or conflict as a teachable moment and a learning opportunity, which can be addressed either informally through the conversational use of affective statements, key questions, or more formally through restorative justice practices or conferences.
Restorative Justice is a process whereby those most directly affected by wrongdoing come together to determine what needs to be done to repair the harm and prevent a reoccurrence. It is a philosophy to guide our actions in all our dealings. Justice means - justice for all in any circumstance. Restorative Justice and Practices...
- addresses unacceptable behavior when a student does not meet expectations set forth by the teacher and school community
- opens communication for all parties
- builds positive teacher/student relationships and student/student relationships
- promotes a positive climate in the school community
