• First rule here is don't stress! There is not a whole lot you need to worry about for 10th grade
  
• Weber State has only a few Concurrent Enrollment (CE) classes available to Sophomores

• We suggest your student chooses a couple of these CE classes for 10th grade, then much more will be available starting in 11th grade
• You will learn more about Associate's degree requirements and the Early College program during your 10th grade year
• Weber State will host Early College Information Sessions in October

• Administration will be sending out information soon to choose next year's classes!
• WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND printing out a Course Request Worksheet before you start
• 10th Grade Course Request Worksheet
• 11th Grade Course Request Worksheet
• 12th Grade Course Request Worksheet
• Use COURSE DESCRIPTIONS to find out more specifics about individual classes
• Reference your Progress Towards Graduation Sheet (PTG) and Early College advising worksheet to know what you NEED to request

1. STUDENT logs into myDSD (NOTE: this can NOT be done from the parent myDSD account)
2. Click on the ACADEMICS Tab
3. Go to COURSE REQUESTS on the menu
4. Select 8 courses for Column 1, Column 2, and 2 Alternatives.
5. Click on +Add Courses, select Category, select Course, select Column, click Add Course button.
6. Continue this process until all 8 courses have been added to Column 1, Column 2, and 2 Alternatives.

• Schedules will be built over the summer, and released some time in August using the information you requested in your course requests!
• You can always change your requests in myDSD until the window to do course requests is closed
• After myDSD Course Requests are closed, talk to your assigned Counselor for help to change requests

• Get some FRESH AIR & SUNSHINE! Talk a walk around the block, go to the park with friends for a picnic, play sports, ride your bike. The more sunshine and exercise you can get, the better you will feel!
• Mix up your routine! Change your routine for a change of pace. Instead of doing homework when you first get home, maybe spend some time outside first. Exercise in the morning instead of at night.
• Get plenty of SLEEP! Make sure you're sleeping the right amount of hours. Teenagers need 9-10 hours of sleep. Also try to sleep at the same times every day, rather than a long sleep on the weekend and no sleep during school week.
• Set new GOALS! Maybe learn something new or set a goal related to school.
• DECLUTTER work/study spaces! It's time to spring clean and get your room and study area organized.
