ADMIRALS PARENTS' ASSOCIATION (APA)

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 The Binnacle, the APA Resource Board, and at parent gatherings and meetings.

One of the premier events of the year that brings together parents from both the Chesapeake and Teel campuses is the annual APA Admiral Auction. Held each March, this event is the APA’s only fundraiser and plays a vital role in supporting its programs. It’s a community-wide effort that involves and benefits all Severn families.

While some APA initiatives may be campus- or grade-specific, the APA is committed to informing and engaging the entire Severn community—from preschool through twelfth grade.

NEW PARENT PROGRAM

The APA warmly welcomes all parents into the Severn community and provides ongoing support to our newest members. Each new parent is paired with a current Parent Ambassador who can answer questions about daily life at Severn and help ease the transition.

Throughout the year, new families are invited to attend casual icebreaker events—including our Welcome Back Bash on September 4, 2025, and the APA Admiral Auction on March 6, 2026—designed to build connections and foster a strong sense of community.

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, Spring Dance, 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 and faculty as well as participating in parent community-building events. School supported events include an After-Prom party, Upper School Boardwalk Blast, Graduation reception, arts and music receptions, Middle School Social, MS Innovation Day, and more. Class Representatives serve as the liaisons between the parents in individual grades and the APA, and host numerous parent gatherings and social events to connect parents with each other.
