Daily grades and test grades each weigh 50%, dropping one daily grade each six weeks as per district policy. Generally, each six weeks three test grades will come from 1 individual assignment, 1 written test and 1 group project to offer a variety of learning opportunities. In addition, every student will earn a test grade for keeping records of their SAE on www.theaet.com.
What is an SAE?
Common SAEs include having a paid or unpaid job or raising show livestock. If you are interested in showing an animal, it is not too late! Lambs, goats and pigs can be purchased this month with the guidance of Mr. Day. Broilers and rabbits need to be ordered by mid-October and Mrs. Fewell supervises those projects. Student animal projects (lambs, goats, pigs and market rabbits) can be housed in the school barn near the football field for an annual fee as space allows.
How about FFA?
