About Us

Welcome Families

Welcome to the Family

We are proud to have a vibrant parent association and welcome you to take an active role in our Severn community!
With over 125 events, receptions, meetings, programs, workshops, and parent gatherings each year, there’s something for everyone. Jump in, get involved and  take advantage of the unique chance to meet new friends, build a strong parent network, and support our students and faculty. As a parent of a current Severn student, you are automatically a member of the Admirals Parent’s Association, no membership fee is required.

Welcome new families!

We know that starting a new school can be overwhelming so we have bundled some resources together in one location to make the transition easier. For many of the items, you must be logged in to mySevern as a current parent to access the details.

The Admirals Parents' Association

The Admirals Parents’ Association (APA) is dedicated to supporting the students, faculty and administration of Severn School. We strive to offer a variety of opportunities for parents to feel welcomed, informed, involved, and connected. You can learn about events and volunteer opportunities through the Binnacle, the APA Resource Board, and at parent gatherings and meetings.

While the APA is an all school group, some of the work is specific to our Chesapeake Campus or the Teel Campus. Regardless of the campus, every effort is made to efficiently inform and involve the entire Severn community from preschool through 12th grade. 

Chesapeake Campus

Home to our preschool through 5th graders, Chesapeake Campus parents are involved in both in-classroom activities and after-school events sponsored by the APA. Whether you enjoy being a room parent to directly help in your child’s classroom or prefer to be involved in after-school events such as the Fall Festival, Family Fun Night, Sweetheart Dance, Mother-Son Social, or Greens Workshop, the APA welcomes your ideas and time. In addition, parents serve as grade level representatives for each grade, taking on the responsibility of representing your class parents to the APA.

Teel Campus

On Teel Campus, which houses our middle and upper school students, parent involvement includes supporting programs to benefit our students as well as participating in parent community-building events. School supported events include an After-Prom party, Boardwalk Blast, Graduation reception, arts and music receptions, Middle School Social, MS Get Acquainted Day, and more. Each grade level also requires a Class Representative to serve as the liaison between the parents in individual grades and the APA.

Parent Communications

If you have any questions about parent communications, or anything else on the website or mySevern, please contact Nicole Anderson, director of communications.
