May School Council Meeting – Final Meeting of the School Year!

April 2026 School Council Meeting with Guest Speaker Jonathon Bloomfield

We’re excited to welcome a special guest speaker on AI to our April School Council meeting! We worked hard to bring Jonathon Bloomfield to our community and have also been given approval for students to attend, which we felt was important given the relevance of this topic. We hope to see you there!

Help shape the conversation by completing the speaker’s short survey.

  • Topic: AI in High School: Understanding the Technology and How to Use it Wisely
  • Speaker: Jonathon Bloomfield, Founder and CEO of Edventive
  • Date & Time: Monday, April 27, 7:00 – 8:00 pm
  • Location: Hybrid (NTCI and GoogleMeet)   https://meet.google.com/iaz-vcbb-idu

Join Educator turned Entrepreneur, Jonathon Bloomfield, for a discussion on AI literacy.  Jonathon will move beyond the hype to discuss how students are actually using AI tools, how to keep them safe, and how to foster academic integrity.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Current Capabilities: A look at the ecosystem beyond ChatGPT, including tools for research, coding, and creative arts.
  • Academic Integrity: How to ensure students use AI to amplify thinking rather than replace it.
  • Constructive Use: Practical examples of using AI for academic support.
  • Risk Mitigation: Understanding data privacy, “hallucinations,” and the importance of protecting personal information.

We look forward to seeing you April 27!
