At LHS students CANNOT use AI to:

- Skip thinking and just use what AI says
Unethical uses of AI:
- Students suspected of using AI for graded assignments may be subject to marks deductions, rewrite requirements, grades of 0%, and/or parent notification.

- Editing software such as Grammarly must be disclosed to the classroom teacher, and teachers may ask students to submit their original work alongside any software edited submissions.
