Use this editable letter to explain your school’s approach to AI, student safety, and digital responsibility to families.
As schools start integrating AI tools into teaching and learning, it’s not just teachers and students who need clarity — families do, too.
That’s why we created a ready-to-use Family Communication Letter to help schools explain their approach to AI in a way that’s transparent, reassuring, and easy to understand.
This letter is part of our larger AI Policy Guide for Schools. You may also want to share the Student AI Use Guidelines and Glossary of AI Terms to support families.
