Bullying/Harassing Concern Report Information
Holden, Eddington, and Holbrook Schools all promote, recognize, and expect positive behavior. Our expectations are taught through our Core Values; Honesty, Kindness, Respect, Responsibility, Compassion, and Courage. Students are recognized for making good choices in a variety of ways including gold slips, kudos cards, and “Busted” slips.
We are also aware that incidents of bullying and harassment have a negative impact on school climate and culture as well as academic achievement. This year we have added an online, anonymous reporting system.
If you are concerned about an incident of bullying or harassment, you can file a report using the RSU 63 website (http://www.rsu63.org)
Look for the “Quick Link” on the right hand side titled “Bullying/ Harassment Concern Report.” The information you submit will be sent to the school principal and school counselor.
