SAE Project Info:

 

All students will be required to perform a SAE project during the semester.  SAE stands for Supervised Agriculture Experience. The project engages students to gain work experience and job skills to help explore agricultural careers. Credit can be received for up to 25 completed hours. Students may select from a wide array of categories. 

 

Now, keeping track of your SAE is easier than ever.  Just go to www.theaet.com and get started.

We will discuss this project at length in class (including the first day of school) and throughout the semester.

 

This project counts as a TEST GRADE and is an important component of every Agricultural class.

 

Do not forget to communicate your plans with your teacher and your parents.

 

Thank You,

 

Mrs. Taylor
