DVUSD AI Guidance

“In the Deer Valley Unified School District, we are committed to providing our students with the best possible
education while ensuring their safety, privacy, and well-being. As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance learning
experiences, teachers may incorporate generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the classroom for students. Students
must adhere to the specific guidelines provided in the assignment details. If no guidance around the use of generative
AI is provided, students should follow the “restrictive” level (see chart). Teachers should direct students to contact their
teacher before submitting classwork if the student is unsure if the tool or website they are using is permitted on a specific assignment."

Levels of Generative AI Use by Students

 

  • DVUSD Academic Integrity Statement

    “To be college-, career-, and community-ready, students in the Deer Valley Unified School District are expected to
    demonstrate academic integrity. Academic integrity is all about being honest and fair in your schoolwork. It means
    doing work that is entirely your own and giving credit to others (including generative Artificial Intelligence tools) through
    proper citation when you use their ideas or words. If you have questions about the guidelines for academic integrity,
    you should discuss them with your teacher.”
