Attention Parents

On January 10th we held meetings with our seniors ​where we reviewed some important information related ​to graduation. Your senior obtained the relevant ​documentation and a form that requires signatures from ​the student and parent. If your senior has not discussed ​this meeting with you yet, please inquire about it as soon ​as possible. We would appreciate it if you could sign the ​forms and have them returned to your student's English ​teacher at your earliest convenience.

Deepfakes and Democracy

Every day, we see -- and create! -- countless images and videos ​that have been edited or digitally altered. From simple ​Snapchat filters to short, lighthearted, or ironic TikTok videos, ​it’s clear that seeing and creating altered media is just part of ​online life today. But are your students aware of -- or have they ​thought deeply about -- the phenomenon of deepfake videos? ​As you watch, have your students consider questions like: Why ​are faked images and videos so popular? How might AI or ​deepfake technology subvert or threaten a democratic ​election? And perhaps more universally, How does the ​existence of this new technology change the way we see the ​world?
