Dear Parent/Guardian,
This letter is to inform you that your student will participate in the state administration of the SAT provided by the Kentucky Department of Education. Beginning with the 2025-2026 school year, SAT replaced the ACT as Kentucky’s statewide college admission exam. Participation in this statewide administration does not require a parent or guardian consent signature.
As part of the SAT state administration, students will have the opportunity to send their SAT scores to up to four colleges or universities at no cost. This option allows students to share their results directly with institutions of their choice and may assist in the college admissions process.
Please note that selecting colleges or universities to receive SAT scores is completely optional. Students may select fewer than four schools or choose not to send any scores at this time. There is no penalty for opting out of sending scores during the administration.
Students will also have the optional opportunity to sign up for BigFuture School by providing their mobile number during exam setup. Students will then receive a link to download the app after the testing day. The mobile app is free for students and will allow the student to have college and career guidance at their fingertips. More information can be found in the BigFuture School Flyer for Parents and Guardians.
If you or your student has questions about this opportunity or wishes to learn more about the SAT, please contact your student’s School Counselor or visit the College Board website at www.collegeboard.org.
Thank you for your attention and for your continued support of your student’s educational progress.
Sincerely,
Amber Thomas
Principal
Henderson County High School
