Artificial Intelligence guidelines in ASDE: As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more common in schools, workplaces, and everyday life, many families are looking for information about how these tools are being used and how students can use them responsibly. The Anglophone East School District (AESD) has developed a Parent AI Resource that provides practical information for families, including guidance on responsible AI use, digital citizenship, privacy considerations, and supporting students as they navigate emerging technologies.

You can access the resource here:Parent AI Resource

Throughout this school year, BMHS will continue supporting students and staff as they learn to use AI responsibly, ethically, and effectively. We are currently developing a clear AI Assignment Symbols guide that will help students, families, and staff understand when and how AI may be used in classroom assignments and assessments. Additional information will be shared later this term. We encourage families to review the AESD resource and continue conversations at home about responsible technology use.
