Keep in mind

Using AI wisely

Four habits that make AI genuinely useful — and keep it appropriate for our school.

01

You're the expert

AI writes drafts; you make decisions. Review anything it produces before it reaches students or parents.

02

Protect student information

Keep student names, grades, and records out of AI tools that haven't been approved for school data.

03

Treat it like a conversation

Give context, ask follow-ups, push back. The first answer is a starting point, not the final word.

04

When in doubt, ask

Not sure whether a use is appropriate? Ask before you automate — we're figuring this out together.
