AI Guidance for LFHS Students and Families

Artificial Intelligence as a Support for Student Learning, Not a Replacement for Original Thinking or Work

Why This Guidance Matters

AI Literacy Across Subjects

LFHS students will learn when AI is appropriate, when it is not, and how to use it safely, ethically, and effectively to support the learning process rather than simply complete a final product.
AI can be a useful tool but can also produce inaccurate, misleading, or biased information. Students are expected to question AI outputs, verify information, and use course learning to evaluate results.

What LFHS Students are Expected to Do

Follow each teacher’s AI usage guidelines for every assignment and assessment, recognizing that the role of AI may vary by subject, course, and/or task.
If unsure whether AI is allowed, ask before using it. Only include content from AI tools or outside platforms when the teacher has given explicit permission.
Complete all work on a school-issued device in the teacher-provided application, using the student’s LFHS Google account.
Cite all AI-generated content, whether quoted or paraphrased, and complete any AI process tools (disclosure statements, checklists, or reflection prompts) as directed by each teacher.
Be prepared to explain how AI was used, how its results were verified, and how the final work reflects authentic student thinking.

Academic Integrity and Review Process

Using AI or other sources in place of original work without permission is academic dishonesty and is subject to the consequences laid out in the LFHS Student and Family Handbook.
When concerns arise, teachers review student process and other relevant evidence.
Students may be asked to explain their process, show drafts, or demonstrate understanding.
Families are informed of any consequences and the option to engage in an appeals process.
