PROCESS FOR DUAL CREDIT
If this is your first time to take dual credit courses, you must:
- Read, initial, and sign the attached dual credit contract (if you have not already done so) and email it to Mrs. Brown or Ms. Kelly.
- Go to www.applytexas.org (see instructions for "Apply Texas" in a link below), and submit an application to Weatherford College.
- Once you have been accepted, you will need to take the reading portion of theTSI (Texas Success Initiative) – this is the college placement exam that tests for college readiness. You must pass the TSI before you can enroll in dual credit classes. (You may take the TSI before you apply to Weatherford College).
- Weatherford College will open the registration window for Fall classes (late April). Students must login to Weatherford College MyWC portal and register for classes.
- You will need to register for Learning Framework for fall 2020. You will need to register for Music Appreciation for Spring 2021 later in the fall semester. Check with the Weatherford College for registration dates for Spring 2021.
- Print out your registration confirmation from Weatherford College, and email it to Mrs. Brown or Ms. Kelly to add the Dual Credit courses to your WHS schedule.
- Discuss with your parents which elective you would like to drop to add the dual credit courses.
All of these steps must be completed in order to be enrolled in dual credit courses for next year.
Sincerely,
WHS Counseling

SOCIAL EMOTIONAL SUPPORTS
Below you will find a list of activities that your child can complete both independently and with your support.
2020-2021 TMS ROO GEAR FOR BOY ATHLETES
For Tison Male Athletes:
- At least 1 blue workout shirt and 1 pair of black workout shorts that are on the top row of the order sheet.
- We are also asking that they get their LAST NAME put on them as well to help with lost clothes during the season.
- The other items in the online store are optional if they want anything extra.
- Athletes will also need sweats, but we have some if you are unable to order those as well. They come in handy during the cold months and is helpful if the athletes have their own.
- You can order as many of anything that you would like from this form. (Some students like to get more than 1 on the workout clothes to have an extra pair)
If you have any questions, please email me at jmullins@weatherfordisd.com.
Coach Mullins
Tison Boys Athletic Coordinator
Online Store for Roo Athletic Gear:
- You will be able to go online and order athletic gear from now until May 29th.
- After May 29th the store will close and they will start fulfilling orders received. You can expect shipment of clothes around 3 weeks after the store closes not from the date you order them. They will be shipped directly to your home address NOT to the school.
- The online store will reopen for a week when we come back to school as well if you are unable to purchase at this time.
- If you are unable to purchase the shirt and shorts just let a coach know and we will get them taken care of. I know times are crazy and if there are any issues please don’t hesitate to let me know.
- Above are pictures of what they need to order. Please make sure LAST NAMES ONLY on the personalized equipment.
