To our Junior Students that planned to take the SAT School Day on April 28th and anyone else that considered the traditional Saturday options...
The April 28 SAT School Day administration has been canceled. Rather than summarize and in order to provide you with the most current information coming from the College Board concerning the SAT, please read the following ....
Future Testing Opportunities
We know students are anxious about how the coronavirus crisis will affect their college application process, including taking the SAT. We’re committed to being flexible and innovative to give all students opportunities to test as soon as the situation allows. We’ll share more details as soon as possible, but right now we can tell you the following:
- Currently, the next SAT is scheduled for the first weekend of June. We’re working with test centers and we’ll decide whether we can safely hold that administration as soon as it’s feasible, given the evolving public health situation.
- We’ll add U.S. and international test administrations in response to canceled administrations. We’ll be flexible in making the SAT available in school and out of school as soon as the public health situation allows. We’re looking at a range of creative solutions to address increased demand and are in direct conversations with states and districts about School Day administrations. Throughout, we’ll continue to place a special focus on students with fee waivers and those with accommodations.
If, unfortunately, schools cannot reopen this fall, we’re pursuing innovative ways to ensure all students can still take the SAT this fall. We’ll provide updates about those plans if they become necessary.
What this currently means for our Lyndonville students is that there is the possibility that a future SAT School Day sitting could be administered. We are awaiting further information to be released early to mid April by the College Board about SAT School Day and will update accordingly.
In the mean time, if you have a child that is extremely anxious about the SAT and it's impact on the college application process, registrations for the Saturday, June 6, 2020 SAT must be completed by May 8. Unfortunately, there is a cost for students that take the traditional Saturday administration which is $49.50 and if you add the essay $64.40 due at the time of registration. This cost will not be covered by the district as it is not a School Day sitting.
Registering for the SAT can be done at https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat/register/june-2020. You will need Lyndonville's CEEB code - 332940 as well as the ability to upload a picture of the student that meets the College Board guidelines provided in the link.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at jkingsbury@lcsdk12.org. if you have any questions or need assistance with registering, if you are choosing to do so. I am checking my email regularly, but return time may be impacted by the reality that internet is not available where I live and I am using my phone's hotspot as the primary tool for working remotely. So far so good though!! All the best!
