Resources for Families

AI (Artificial Intelligence) includes tools like ChatGPT, Grammarly, and educational apps that can help students learn. In the classroom, AI might be used to provide personalized practice problems, help with writing feedback, or create study materials. Teachers always supervise AI use to ensure it supports, not replaces, actual learning.

Yes, schools only use AI tools that comply with student privacy laws like FERPA and COPPA. We carefully vet all AI tools before approval, ensuring they don't sell student data, use appropriate security measures, and allow parents to review or delete their child's information upon request.

Appropriate AI use means using it as a tool to help understand concepts, not to do the work for them. Ask your child to explain their work in their own words. If they used AI, they should be able to tell you how and cite it properly. Check with teachers about their specific AI policies for assignments.

Schools ensure all required AI tools are accessible during school hours. For homework, alternative non-AI methods are always acceptable. If your child needs access to technology, please contact your school about device lending programs or computer lab hours. No student will be penalized for lack of home technology access.

Yes, parents can request alternative assignments that don't require AI use. Please contact your child's teacher or principal to discuss your concerns and create an alternative learning plan. We respect family choices while ensuring your child still meets all learning objectives.

We offer parent information sessions throughout the year. You can also explore our "Start Here" section on this website for basic AI information. Many free resources are available online, and your school librarian can recommend age-appropriate resources to explore AI together with your child.
