San Ramon Valley Unified School District - AI Parent Education Series

Parents play a vital role in helping students navigate the digital world and use AI tools responsibly.

Review Responsible Use Agreements (RUAs): Annually review and discuss the Responsible Use Agreements with your child. These documents outline the rules for using District Technology, including a commitment to ethical use and following all laws.
Discuss Transparency: Encourage your student to be transparent about how they use AI. Ask them: Did the AI write this? What part of this assignment was your original work?
Focus on Critical Thinking: AI generates information, but it can be biased or inaccurate. Reinforce the importance of your child critically evaluating AI outputs and verifying information from reliable sources.
Promote Deeper Engagement: Discuss how AI can be a starting point, not an end point. Encourage your student to use AI to find new ways to learn or be creative, rather than just solving a problem quickly.
Course Syllabi: Read and discuss with your student. Be sure you discuss their AI policies and expectations.
