AI & Digital Safety Header IMage

As we prepare for the new school year, our main goal is to make sure every student has a positive, safe, and welcoming place to learn and grow. We believe students learn best when our schools are safe. This includes digital safety. 

The world of technology is constantly evolving, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly making its way into K-12 education. At MTSD, we recognize that we must teach students how to use AI appropriately while also keeping them safe. To prepare for AI, we have developed  a set of Beliefs, Principles, and Practices for our district. This framework is attached to this message. As we continue on the AI journey, we will actively seek your feedback on our beliefs, principles and practices and make adjustments as needed. Throughout the year, we will also share resources to help you support your children’s learning and use of AI technology. 

As part of the AI engagement process, we have created an "Opt In/Out" form specifically for student use of  AI tools, ensuring that you have a voice in AI developments. Please fill out one form per student.
