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

Already, some students have missed their appointments. If you have missed your appointment, please feel free to come by at any time. You may have to wait, but you will not be turned away. The same is true if you have not made an appointment. You may drop by to take your photo. You will not be turned away. You can also schedule an appointment through Prestige with the code that they emailed you in May. If you can't find the code, then you can search by California, then Altaville, and pick Bret Harte after going to their website. Here's the link: https://prestigeportraits.com/. Keep in mind, you can choose the no-cost option where Prestige simply takes a quick senior portrait from one angle. The lowest-paid option is $20, which allows for a couple of angles. Lastly, if you miss taking photos in July, you will be assigned an appointment in October. " - Jason Burita, yearbook advisor, jburita@bhuhsd.k12.ca.us
