Lockdowns Rock Severna Park Schools

The lockdowns, as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, significantly impacted schools in Severna Park, including Severna Park Elementary School1. These impacts encompassed a shift to online learning, disruptions in the traditional educational process, and challenges in maintaining the well-being and educational progress of students1. The necessity for remote education highlighted disparities in access to technology and internet connectivity, posing additional challenges for students and educators. Additionally, the emotional and social development of students was affected due to the lack of in-person interactions with peers and teachers. Schools also had to implement measures to support students' mental health and adapt to new ways of learning and teaching1.
