AI Resources for Students & Families

As AI becomes a part of everyday life, Cherry Creek Schools is committed to helping students build the judgment and confidence needed to use these tools wisely after graduation. That starts with structured, secured, teacher-led opportunities to use AI tools responsibly and to learn to think critically about when and how to use them well. 

At a Glance


High school students only use District-approved AI tools.

AI tools approved for student use have data protection agreements. 

Student information is not used to train AI models.

AI use in school is always teacher-directed. 

District-approved AI tools for High School Students 

Access for high school students will become available the week of August 31st. CCSD approves a tool only after it passes a stringent review of privacy, security, and instructional value. Three tools have completed that review: 

Google Gemini logo

Google Gemini Chat

An AI-powered large language model developed by Google.

Copilot logo

Microsoft Copilot Chat

An AI-powered large language model developed by Microsoft.

Gemini Notebook logo

Gemini Notebook

A research and study tool developed by Google.

High school students will access approved, data-protected AI tools by logging in through My.CherryCreekSchools.org.

Elementary and middle school students do not have access to these tools.

Student Information is Protected 

Students use District-approved AI tools by signing in with their CCSD account, not a personal account. That difference matters. 

CCSD holds enterprise data protection agreements with both Google and Microsoft. These agreements include protections that personal consumer accounts, whether free or paid, do not have.

This guarantees that student information is not used to train these companies' AI models. 

Google and Microsoft have also built content safeguards for users under 18 into Gemini and Copilot Chat, including protections around harmful content and personal safety. 

AI Use is Teacher-Directed 

As with any technology in the classroom, how and when AI is used is at the teacher's discretion. Teachers determine what is appropriate. Students are expected to follow that guidance. 

Using AI to support learning is different from using it to replace thinking and work. Work produced by AI and turned in as a student's own can be treated as academic dishonesty, per Board Policy JICDA. If a student is unsure whether AI is allowed, they should ask their teacher before using it.
