I want to enroll in music and I.S.P.E
but...
I’m not an athlete.
What options do I have?
Your after-school activities
may already qualify for I.S.P.E.
 Do you already take tennis, gymnastics or even yoga classes?
 Are you working toward your Black Belt
in Taekwondo, Karate or Kung Fu?
 Do you swim on a team or dive competitively?
 Any of these, and more may qualify for I.S.P.E.
Design your own I.S.P.E.
Still not sure what options are available?
Check out your local Boys & Girls Club or the YMCA. Both are currently working with
SDUHSD to develop a before- and/or after-school “Fitness” program for SDUHSD students
with impacted programs that will meet ISPE requirements. Please check with your local
branch to review options.
• Encinitas
• Solana Beach
• Carmel Valley
• Paul Ecke Branch - Encinitas
Financial assistance may be available
for families in need.
Look toward the future!
College Admissions officers look for continued
focus in a specific area (multiple years in the
same discipline, i.e. Band/Orchestra) on High
School transcripts. Participation in outside
ensembles, may or may not be considered.
I.S.P.E. Requirements:
Have to include all the official stuff here, sorry.
 I.S.P.E. must be supervised by an “Accredited” coach or
coaching organization with a $1Mil liability policy.
 State of California requires completion of 400* minutes of
fitness every 10 days while enrolled in I.S.P.E. and school is
in session. (Not required over Thanksgiving, Winter, or Spring Breaks.)
 I.S.P.E. logs are now on-line to make reporting easy.
Note: Participation in Competitive Team Sports
Does NOT meet the Independent Study
Criteria.
However, an Accredited Coach with adequate
Liability Coverage can supervise an individual
program for your child. It’s up to you as to
when
this takes place.
* Coach may assign “homework” to fulfill a portion of these hours.
Did you know...
 I.S.P.E. is a Pass/Fail Class
 I.S.P.E. Activity Logs are only due 1 x per semester and
can just be a short summary (see sample below).
 I.S.P.E. Self & Coach Evaluations are due only 1 x per
semester.
* CCA & SDA: logs will be due 2x per semester
Now that I have options...
how do I change my class
registration to include
Music?

Why is Music P.E. Going Away?
Music P.E. was originally intended to accommodate Marching Band programs.
Music P.E. can no longer be used by non-marching groups in our district for
the following reasons:
Credentials: Music Teachers can not supervise Physical Education.
Liability: Students must be supervised by a professional while
participation in a District approved course.
State Mandated PE requirements: Per statute, each student enrolled in
any P.E. course must participate in 400 P.E. minutes every ten days.
Students self-reporting through I.S.M.P.E. or Band PE do not meet the
verification standard.

SCHOOL BAND OR ORCHESTRA
COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A
COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP AND A COLLEGE LOAN!
Did you know...
Music students have the opportunity
to travel, participate in honor
groups, competitions, and festivals
to share their talent with a broader
audience.
Did you know...
You must participate in your school music
program to qualify for Honor Groups including:

California State
Participation in any of these groups may lead to
other great opportunities, including music
camp and college scholarships (even for nonmusic majors).
9 students from SDUHSD were selected for the
2012 All California State Honor Band/Orchestra.
Did you know...
Orchestra, Band, and even Choir
are like a big family.
The friends you make and the experiences you
have will help you achieve your potential in
middle school. Plus, your music friends will be
with you through middle school, on into high
school, and beyond.
Did you know...
There is nothing like the joy of performing
music with friends.
At school, you’ll get to do this almost every
day.
You’ll learn more repertoire, and more playing
time leads to improved musicianship.
