Hello CSPES Families.
As you may know by now, CSPES has been without school-wide internet access since yesterday afternoon. Rest assured, your children continue to receive the high quality instruction they are accustomed to. Our staff has pivoted seamlessly, adapting their plans in a moments notice to serve your children. Please know that our priority is student safety and high quality instruction. For that reason, you may experience a delay in communication response times. If there is an urgent matter, please call our main office. We will provide an update when internet service is restored.
Sincerely,
Sarah Schlegel
Assistant Principal
Osprey of the Week! 🦅
Shouting out our amazing custodial team for all they do each and every day to support our students, staff, and school! We appreciate you! 💙 #ParkPride #BelongGrowSucceed #OspreyOfTheWeek
Things are a little blue around Severn River Middle School in Arnold today, but there’s no feeling the school’s students, staff, and community would rather have.
The school today was honored by the Maryland State Department of Education as one of 12 public schools to be named a 2026-2027 Maryland Blue Ribbon School. The honor reflects Severn River’s performance on state and national assessments, and success in closing achievement gaps among student groups.
