SAE and FFA Participation
Students enrolled in this class are considered members of the FFA Chapter.
Each student will be responsible for attending no less than three FFA activities each semester (6 per year). These activities occur both during and after the regularly scheduled school day. Students will be notified of these opportunities throughout the semester. Each activity counts as 50 points towards the student’s overall grade (150 points total each semester).
Students are also responsible for completing a Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) project throughout the semester. This project requires each student to complete no less than 10 hours of work per semester (20 hours per school year), outside of the classroom, on an agriculturally related project. Students will be given more information in class, but this project will count as 200 points towards the student’s overall grade each semester.
