Independent P.E.
Independent P.E. is open to 10-12 grade students involved in San Ramon Valley High School interscholastics athletic teams only. This program is for those students that do not have room in their school day for a SRVHS physical education course, and are highly independent, organized, and responsible. The program is solely initiated and maintained by the student throughout their season. 11th graders (2009-10 graduates) currently enrolled in ISPE program and still need 5 PE credits to graduate may apply with other programs.
INDEPENDENT PE APPLICATION DEADLINES: Students have two weeks from the FIRST OFFICIAL DAY OF PRACTICE to turn in their completed application packet. If you are in a fall or winter sport that overlaps into the next season, or if you are still "trying out", the packet is still due by the deadline. If you do not make the team you will be removed from the IPE program. Since summer hours do not count, Fall sport applications are due by the second Friday after the first day of school. It is critical that you keep an accurate log of your practice/conditioning hours on your time card.
