Across St. Vrain Valley Schools, we are deeply committed to preparing every student for success in a rapidly changing world. Central to that work is empowering students and educators to use AI with confidence by building a strong foundation of knowledge. This approach advances innovation and gives students a competitive advantage in their learning and future opportunities, all while protecting privacy and transparency.

To support this vision, St. Vrain developed the ETHOS Framework for AI. The framework ensures AI is used in ways that are ethical, transparent, human-centered, opportunity-focused, and safe. By following these guiding principles, we can enhance learning, inspire innovation, and safeguard privacy while preparing students to thrive in an ever-changing, complex, and globalized society.
