March 6, 2009 Day B Class

SAE (Supervised Agricultural Experience) Workday. As part of Ag class students are required to keep records on an agriculture activity. We periodically have workdays in class for them to work on their records and to insert them into the computerized records. If students don't have a true Ag related project they are still expected to keep records about their job or some other activity that they have made arrangements with Mr. Straube on. This is required part of Ag Class. Students who don't continue with there projects will have difficulties with class grades. Students can access their records from home by going the school homepage and clicking on Sheffield remote on the right-side bottom of the homepage. You may have to turn off your activex control on your computer. I will go over this with the students.
