As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to reshape our world, preparing students and the adults who support them to use it proficiently and responsibly is essential. As we implement these new tools, our educators will continue to play the primary role in preparing our students to be future-ready.

There is nothing quite like the excitement, the energy, and the promise of a fresh start that accompany the beginning of each new school year. We love seeing new students, new staff, new classes – and, as always, embracing new opportunities to learn and grow.

In August, Irvine Unified School District (IUSD) leaders, educators, and staff came together for professional learning days, focused on the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education.
