Grade-Level AI Guidelines

Leonia Public Schools balances innovative digital tools with developmental appropriateness, ensuring AI exposure aligns with student age and learning milestones.

  • 🏫 Anna C. Scott Elementary (Grades K-4)
    Leonia Public Schools limits the exposure of AI by blocking AI access for students in grades K-4 at Anna C. Scott Elementary School. Instructional time prioritizes foundational literacy, numeracy, creative expression, and hands-on learning without artificial intelligence tools.
  • 🏫 Leonia Middle School (Grades 5-8)
    AI tools are introduced under direct teacher supervision for specific educational exercises focused on digital literacy, critical thinking, and understanding technology capabilities and limitations.
  • 🏫 Leonia High School (Grades 9-12)
    Students learn ethical AI usage, citation standards, and academic integrity principles. Unapproved AI generation on assignments is prohibited in accordance with the district Honor Code.

AI Assignment Traffic Light System

To provide clear expectations on classroom assignments, teachers indicate permitted AI usage using the district's Traffic Light framework:

  • 🔴 Red — No AI Allowed
    The assignment must be 100% original student work. Generative AI tools (text generation, automated writing, or problem solving) are strictly prohibited to ensure students master foundational concepts independently.
  • 🟡 Yellow — Guided / Limited AI Use
    AI may be used only for specific teacher-approved tasks (such as initial brainstorming, outlining, grammar checking, or concept explanation). Students must cite the AI tool used and demonstrate their own primary work.
  • 🟢 Green — Full AI Integration
    AI tools are encouraged for open exploration, idea generation, complex data analysis, or creative collaboration. Students must document how AI was utilized and reflect on the tool's output.

Data Privacy & Governance

Strict safeguards protecting student identity, intellectual property, and institutional data.

  • 🔒 Student Data Privacy & FERPA
    No personally identifiable student information (PII), student work, or district credentials may be submitted to unvetted third-party AI platforms. All approved tools undergo strict data privacy review.
