Why are we introducing Gemini AI?
AI is an essential and evolving part of the modern workplace and daily life. By safely integrating Gemini AI, we aim to:
Help students learn how to use AI responsibly and ethically.
Prepare them for future academic and career environments where AI tools are common.
Support critical thinking and creativity while maintaining academic integrity.
To ensure students use this technology responsibly and effectively:
Students will participate in an AI Literacy lesson in their English class prior to Semester 2. This lesson will help them understand how to use AI as a supplemental tool while maintaining academic integrity and following HCPSS guidelines.
All assignments are AI-free unless otherwise directed by the teacher. Students should complete work independently unless a teacher specifically allows AI use for a task.
Students are expected to review and follow AI Usage Guidelines. These guidelines emphasize that AI should never replace original thinking or writing and must be used ethically under teacher direction.
Gemini AI is a tool to enhance learning, not a replacement for instruction or original work. We appreciate your support in reinforcing responsible technology use at home.
If you have questions about this initiative or the guidelines, please contact your school’s administration.
