AI Guidelines
This 6 page document was created by the AI Taskforce for Teachers. The one given to students and parents is exactly the same minus the last page. It outlines a variety of topics but includes The Importance of Continued Writing Instruction, Basic Dos and Don'ts of AI use, Proper Use of AI in the Classroom, and Misconduct Guidelines. AI is not replacing instruction, but if used properly we can enhance learning for students and reduce the amount of time some teaching tasks take allowing teachers to focus on student instruction.
Student Password Changes
This year students in grades 7-12 will have their passwords reset. We will communicate out to staff, parents, and students a week before the change is to happen. We have had a ton of spam in the past few months and we need a new password configuration and mass reset. We are moving to a random configuration, but once the change happens teachers, students, and parents will be able to see student emails and passwords in their Parent or Student Connect and in Mistar under student Profile under Network Information.
Grades k-6 will keep their configuration of passwords from last year. They have limited permissions so they are not getting spammed like the older students.
