At District 95, we’re committed to preparing students for success today and in the future, and this means embracing innovative tools that support modern learning. We’re excited to introduce SchoolAI, a new, safe K-12 platform designed specifically for education. While your student may or may not interact with SchoolAI, our teachers now have an incredible resource to enhance their teaching and engage students with interactive, meaningful learning experiences.

Why SchoolAI?
Unlike general AI platforms (Like ChatGPT), SchoolAI was chosen for its education-first design, student privacy safeguards, and unique features that make learning exciting and safe. The platform meets all Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA) compliance standards, ensuring secure, sandboxed spaces where students can explore and learn with teacher supervision. Learn more here.

Empowering Learning and Growth
With tools like Spaces, students can dive into role-playing historical events or interviewing notable figures, making classroom content come alive. Features like Mission Control give teachers real-time insights into student progress, allowing them to provide personalized support and foster collaboration.

Connecting to Our Strategic Plan: Empower95

This initiative aligns with Empower95’s action steps to equip educators with the skills and tools needed for incorporating AI effectively. Our goal is to create a well-rounded learning environment where students develop critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and tech proficiency to thrive in the future.

Looking Ahead
District 95 is committed to safe, responsible, and innovative use of AI in education. SchoolAI marks an important step in this journey, helping our teachers create engaging, inclusive, and effective learning experiences.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to empower our students and teachers with cutting-edge resources!

The safety and security of students, staff, families and community members is a top priority in District 95. In an effort to provide more information to families regarding district emergency preparedness, additional information has been added to the Safety & Security webpage regarding our reunification planning. Families should select the “Reunification” dropdown from the Safety & Security page to learn more.

Families can access the webinar recording from Dr. Doug Bolton on supporting children and teens in their regulation via the Family Resource Center section of the district website. Families should select the “Family Workshop Series - Presentation Slides & Recordings” dropdown from the Family Resource Center page to access the recording.

Each month, District 95 asks every building to select a student who represents our District Values of collaboration, continuous improvement, equity, high expectations, integrity, perseverance, and respect. For the month of October, Spencer Loomis chose Second Grader, Anwita A.

Spencer Loomis third grader Anwita A. is a model student. She works hard, actively participates throughout class, thinks critically, and attends to precision in every task she completes. Her dedication to learning is evident in the way she approaches challenges, with perseverance and a positive attitude. Anwita consistently contributes thoughtful insights during discussions and collaborates effectively with her peers. Beyond her academic excellence, she is a kind and friendly student, who goes out of her way to support and encourage others. Keep up the great work Anwita!
