Here is a link to see which colleges will be requiring the SAT/ACT for the Class of 2025: https://blog.collegevine.com/colleges-requiring-sat-act. From College Vine: 'While the increased prevalence of test-optional policies started with the pandemic, many institutions, including some of the most selective colleges, have extended or even made these policies permanent. However, a range of prominent public universities and tech schools, particularly in the South, have been requiring tests again for a couple of years now, and for the 2024-2025 cycle, half the Ivy League will once again be requiring all applicants to submit a test score.' Please contact me with any questions you have." - Ms. Godfrey

SATURN APP - NOT BHUHSD AFFILIATED "Good Afternoon, It has been brought to the attention of several staff, administrators, and our technology team on campus that an app called "Saturn" has been growing in popularity and is being utilized by a number of our students. While we have no control over apps that our students use on their personal devices and phones, we would like to formally notify parents/guardians that this app has no affiliation with Bret Harte Union High School District in any way. In fact, our position as a district is that this app has too many security flaws and may not be safe for students to use. A link to an Ed Week article, outlining the security flaws and potential risks with using the app can be found below. https://www.edweek.org/technology/saturn-is-a-new-app-for-high-schoolers-heres-why-it-has-educators-concerned/2023/11." - Bret Harte Union High School District
