It is important to recognize the many wonderful things that are taking place in AACPS HPED every single day.
Please take a moment to nominate an amazing colleague to be featured in our "Shout Out" section each month!
This month's AACPS HPED "Shout Outs" go to...
Elissa Mango (Southern HS) - I want to nominate Elissa Mango for going above and beyond to make her classes fun and engaging. From working out and having fun with her students to inviting special guests to workout and speak to her classes. I appreciate everything you do for Southern's HPED Department. ~Jeff Repass

Randi Burkhardt (Arundel Middle) - For having such a rocking Unified Physical Education class! You are doing amazing things! ~ Sarah Reidel
Haley Cirincione (Jessup Elementary ) - A huge thanks to Haley for sharing her lesson ideas on the first tee program. It is my first-time teaching golf and I had success due to her help! ~Courtney Rice
Amanda Coursey (Arundel HS) - Amanda is an amazing teammate. She is a great collaborator, bringing new and engaging activities and materials to the variety of classes she teaches. She is open to trying new strategies and is always putting in the extra work to streamline our health lessons to best suite her students. She puts her students first and is a role model to so many of them. One of her greatest strengths is her innate ability to build relationships with our kids. I love learning from her and am lucky to work with her! ~Kristin Bowser
Corey Masson (Annapolis ES/Waugh Chapel ES) - Corey is absolutely rocking his first year as a physical educator. He is constantly going above and beyond to ensure every student succeeds.

Nick's Bad Joke of the Month!
Joke of the Month April.MOVThe Voluntary Transfer Process
The Voluntary Transfer Process
It's that time of year where we see vacancies and program growth opportunities.
As a professional courtesy, please do not hesitate to reach out if you are considering/interested in a change or there is discussion of program growth.
If you choose to participate in the voluntary transfer process, please be sure to visit HR navigator https://intranet.aacps.org/Dept/HR/Pages/InternalVacancies.aspx to view/apply for open positions. You should begin to regularly check the portal in March. Don’t rely on the notifications you set to alert you to vacancies that you might be interested in pursuing – I’ve been told they are not reliable.
March 1- Voluntary Transfer process begins
April 15- Resignation deadline for Unit I 10-month employees in order to retain benefits through August
May 1- Non-tenured resignation deadline
July 1- Tenured resignation deadline
July 31- Voluntary Transfer process ends
If you are non-tenured and wish to be able to explore other transfer opportunities in AACPS, you must get permission from HR to do so. Here is the form to complete: Request to Participate in Voluntary Transfer Process (Unit 1 Non-Tenured Employee).pdf
