Can I send SAT scores without essay?

I took the SAT with essay twice. The first time I got a 1460 /` 18 on the essay. The second time I got a 1540 / 17 on the essay. Many schools I am applying to do not require the essay, but I’m wondering if they will consider it supplemental if I send only the second score. And it appears to be impossible to send JUST the SAT score, without the essay score attached. So even if a school is essay optional, should I still send both scores and hope they superscore? (For context I’m mainly thinking about UChicago)

Thanks for any help
