SAT School Day – April 7 th 2026

The New Hampshire SAT School Day with Essay will be administered on April 7 at Sunapee High School. This assessment serves as the state’s general summative assessment for high school students. All students in their third year of high school are expected to participate in the SAT School Day with Essay unless they qualify for an alternate assessment or formally opt out. Requests to opt out must be submitted no later than March 6 at 3:00 PM by emailing Myles Cooney - [email protected]. Student results are used for state and federal accountability purposes, and students may also choose to use their SAT scores for college admissions. Students who wish to prepare for the assessment are encouraged to use Khan Academy, a free
College Board–supported preparation resource.

In addition, students may register for the optional College Board–related services connected to the SAT. These services require parental consent. Please review these educational opportunities carefully. If I do not hear from you regarding opting out of the related services by March 6 at 3:00 PM, your non-response will be considered implied consent for your student’s
participation in all aspects of the testing program.

Your child will participate in the SAT School Day assessment in April. The purpose of this email is to explain the information your student will be asked to provide and the options available to your student related to their free SAT score sends, Student Search Service® , and the student questionnaire.

REQUIRED INFORMATION
Students will be required to provide the College Board, the provider
of the SAT School Day assessment, their first and last name, school name and school code, date of birth, grade level, gender and, for some states and districts, student identification number. This information is the minimum needed for scoring and reporting test results.

Options for Students
FREE SCORE SENDS Students who are taking the SAT can send their scores to up to four colleges or scholarship programs at no cost. Score sends are optional, but we encourage students to demonstrate their interest in their chosen schools early. If left blank, no scores will be sent. Consent is not required for students to utilize their four free score sends.

STUDENT SEARCH SERVICE
As a parent, you can give consent for your student to opt into Student Search Service when they complete their answer sheet. Student Search Service connects students with colleges and scholarship organizations by sharing their information with participating organizations. This offers you and your student: Information about colleges and universities that match your student’s academic interests. Information on financial aid and scholarships to help deserving students access scholarships they’ve earned. Information about majors, courses, and degree options College Board only shares student data with eligible colleges, universities, scholarships, and educational opportunity programs that have signed an agreement to only communicate with students for the purposes listed above. These entities most often connect with students based on expected graduation date, cumulative grade point average (GPA), score range, and intended college major.

STUDENT QUESTIONNAIRE
As a parent, you can give consent for your student to participate in the student questionnaire. The information from these questions will be added to their College Board student record. Your child’s responses to the optional questionnaire: Provide data used by the College Board for research and planning to improve tests and services. Help match students with colleges, universities, scholarships, and educational opportunity programs.

If you have any questions or concerns about the test and the information shared by the college board, please call or email Myles Cooney (603-763-5615 – [email protected]) prior to the test and pre-administration. Otherwise, I will assume I have your consent to test and offer the opportunity to enroll in the services provided through the College Board.
