Before you enter any prompt into an AI chat session or upload a file, ask yourself “Could someone identify my student from what I’m about to share?”

Whether you are a teacher, staff, a family member, or a student, please use AI safely when it comes to sharing information about yourself or our students and avoid sharing any personally identifiable information (PII).

What is Personally identifiable information (PII)? It is any information that can identify a person on its own (direct identifiers) or when combined with other details (indirect identifiers).

Direct identifiers include names, ID numbers, addresses, and family members’ names.

Indirect identifiers are clues, such as a birth date or a combination of age, school, and bus stop, that can help identify someone even when their name is left out.

Please remember, when uploading photos, or files to make sure they do not contain PII. Photos and screenshots of documents, forms, reports, or emails can reveal more than you intend. Before sharing them with an AI tool, check for details that could identify a student, even after you’ve removed their name and student ID.

Before typing, pasting, or uploading anything to an AI such as Gemini or ChatGPT, ask yourself, "Could someone at our school figure out who this student is?" If yes or you’re unsure, use a generic example or placeholders.

Thank you for your help in keeping our student's data safe!
