Using AI Assistance for Assignments
AI is an interesting field that is emerging everywhere and does have some important ties to education. Teachers everywhere are learning more about AI and how it can be used effectively as a part of education. With that being said, if a teacher wants your student to use AI to help with an assignment or writing, then he or she will let them know that when the assignment is made. Unless a teacher gives students permission to use AI for a specific assignment, students are not to use Artificial Intelligence sites or apps to help with MVS assignments. Work that is generated with the use of AI will be treated like plagiarism and will be graded as such. If this occurs, teachers may give students the option to come into MVS to rewrite an essay with paper and pencil or monitored technology.

Our 4-8 graders are working in the following books with their classes:
- 4th- The BFG
- 5th- Matilda
- 6th- James and the Giant Peach
- 7th- The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone
- 8th- Short Stories of Flannery O'Connor
