If a school requests any form, report, or supporting material that is not supported by the SAO, or if your current teacher, recommender, or school administrator has been invited by you to provide additional narrative or documentation in support of your application, those materials must be sent directly to the receiving school(s).

Teachers, recommenders, and school administrators may provide supplemental materials only at the invitation of the family. These items are not submitted through, tracked in, or managed by the SAO, and receiving schools cannot manage these documents through the SAO system.
