How to discuss AI as a family
Everyone is probably feeling confused and unsure about the role of AI in our lives, and how it will impact students' education. This AI Literacy Toolkit from the organizations Common Sense Media and Day of AI has been created to help families navigate this new territory. It includes resources, videos, activities, conversation starters, and information to help families develop tools to understand and manage the challenges and possibilities of AI.
National Honor Society Peer Tutoring
We have a group of incredible National Honor Society students who are available for peer tutoring after school in the library from 2:30 - 4:30 Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday every week. Students can come get help with their assignments or review concepts from class. National Honor Society students also do important work in the library by organizing and shelving books, setting up displays, and generally making the library the best that it can be.

The library offers plenty of opportunities for creativity, play, and self expression. These kinds of activities build community and are an important aspect of social-emotional learning.
