Dear Sixth/Seventh/Eighth Grade/ Parents:

Mayfield Middle School students are invited to participate in the 2017 Mayfield Talent Search sponsored by the Mayfield Academic Boosters Club. This Talent Search wishes to identify and recognize the most outstanding students in our area. The way in which students are identified is by taking the ACT for Practice and scoring in the superior range.

We use the Smartco testing program that allows students to take an out-of-print ACT and receive almost immediate feedback about their scores on the test. After students complete the ACT, the students are allowed to take home the test booklet and within five to seven days, they receive a printout of scores and incorrect responses. We have been very impressed with the services Smartco has provided.

Students who wish to participate will take a previous year’s ACT on Saturday, March 11, 2017, at Mayfield High School in the Cafeteria and various classrooms. The testing will begin at 8:00 a.m. and conclude at Noon. The cost of the test is $30.00. Checks should be made payable to Mayfield Academic Boosters Club and returned to Shirlee Shoben at the High School AEP office (Room 108) in an envelope with the enclosed registration form.

The registration deadline is March 8, 2017!

Please look at this testing as preparation for the future. Students need not be anxious or worried that they have to meet a particular standard. Their scores will not be used to determine their program here at school. If you have any questions, please call me at 440-995-6930 or e-mail me at .

Sincerely,

Shirlee Shoben

Mayfield High School

ACT for Practice Coordinator
