Oak Grove approaches artificial intelligence the way we approach any powerful tool: intentionally, and with people at the center. Our AI Guidebook is a shared guide for exploring, adopting, and using AI in ways that are safe, ethical, and human-centered — building trust through responsible, transparent use, supporting staff, students, and families with practical guidance, and preparing our community for the future.
In classrooms, an AI Use Levels visual helps students understand when and how AI may be used on a given task, so expectations are clear and transparent.
