This policy establishes expectations for the responsible, safe, ethical, and educational use of artificial intelligence tools by students, staff, and school personnel.
This policy applies to student use, teacher use, staff use, classroom assignments, school-issued devices, school accounts, and any AI tools used for school-related work.
For this policy, "AI tools" include software that can generate, summarize, analyze, recommend, classify, translate, write, create images, answer questions, or assist with decision-making.
Students are responsible for the work they submit. If AI is used, students must follow teacher instructions and disclose AI assistance when required.
Teachers may require students to disclose when AI was used, what tool was used, and how it helped. Example disclosure:
I used AI to help with: . I reviewed and edited the final work myself.
AI may assist decision-making, but final educational, disciplinary, grading, and student support decisions must remain with qualified school staff.
Misuse of AI may be addressed through the school's academic integrity, technology use, and student conduct policies. Consequences should be age-appropriate and focused on correction, learning, and safety.
This policy should be reviewed at least annually because AI tools, risks, and educational uses continue to change.

AI tools are becoming common in everyday life, workplaces, and education. Our goal is to help students understand AI, use it responsibly when appropriate, and avoid unsafe or dishonest uses.
Not necessarily. Teachers will decide when AI is appropriate for a lesson or assignment. Some assignments may allow AI, some may limit it, and some may prohibit it.
Students should not enter private information into AI tools. Staff are expected to use approved tools and follow school privacy policies when student information is involved.
Yes. AI can produce incorrect, incomplete, biased, or outdated information. Students will be taught to verify important information using reliable sources.
AI misuse will be handled through existing academic integrity and student conduct procedures. The school will also focus on teaching students how to use AI responsibly.
I have reviewed the school's AI expectations and understand that AI tools may be used only according to teacher and school guidelines.
