AI & Student Data

Human Oversight of AI-Generated Content

We ensure that any AI-generated content is reviewed by a human before it reaches the student. This means that:

• Teacher Review: AI-generated worksheets, study materials, or recommendations are always reviewed and approved by a teacher before being used in the classroom.
• Parent Review: In situations where AI-generated materials are shared directly with parents (e.g., worksheets emailed for printing), parents have the opportunity to review the content before it is used by their child.
• Messages to Families: By default, our team reviews and approves AI-drafted messages before they are sent. A director may allow routine messages to send automatically after a short review window or at a scheduled time. You can ask us at any time not to use AI for messages to your family.

Synthesizing Data for Personalized Learning

We use AI to synthesize various types of data to better understand and support each student's unique needs. This includes:

• Parent-Submitted Data: Information provided by parents about their child's learning preferences, strengths, and areas for improvement.
• Progress Notes: Ongoing observations and records of a student's progress.
• Teacher Feedback: Insights and feedback from teachers regarding a student's performance and engagement.
• Evaluations and Progress Reports: Data from our internal evaluations and lesson plan evaluations.
• Approved Examples: Reports our staff have approved as good examples may be shown to the AI as writing models for later reports at the same center. They are used only as context for that request, are not shared with other centers, and are never used to train a model.

AI tools may analyze this information to suggest insights that help teachers tailor instruction and materials to each student. These insights support teacher judgment and do not replace it.

AI-Generated Content and Human Review

While AI may be used to generate educational content, this content is always subject to human review before being presented to the student. This helps us maintain high standards of accuracy and relevance in our educational materials.

Photos & Social Media

Uploaded photos are only used to help our teachers identify new students. We sometimes post pictures to our social media pages to celebrate student achievements and share our learning community.

If you do not want your student in any photos, please let us know! We're happy to accommodate your preferences.

Communication and Updates

The insights generated by our AI models may be used to inform:

• Notes to Teachers: Providing teachers with data-driven insights to support their instructional strategies.
• Parent Feedback: Sharing progress updates and recommendations with parents to support their child's learning at home.
• Ongoing Updates: Continuously refining our teaching approaches based on AI-generated insights.

AI Providers and Data Retention

Our AI features send only the information needed for a specific task to a model provider through OpenRouter, a routing service that connects to providers such as OpenAI and Google. We configure our requests to exclude providers that use submitted data to train their models, and OpenRouter does not store requests by default.

Every AI provider runs its own safety and abuse-monitoring program, so this "safety retention" is not limited to one company. Depending on the provider and model, a prompt and its response may be kept for a limited time to detect misuse. That is commonly up to 30 days, and longer when the provider's automated safety systems flag the content or the law requires. For example, Google may keep a flagged prompt and response for up to 90 days. Safety-retained content is used only for abuse and safety review, never for model training. We do not control a provider's safety systems or retention periods, and they can change.

No model training. We do not train AI models on student information, and we configure our requests to exclude providers that would.
