The Coventry High School Band has had its own difficulties over the past few years due to Covid. The Honors Band only had sixteen members last year, and the Concert Band only had four.

Are You IReady? STAR Replaced by New Program

For many years, STAR has been one of the top programs we use in the school alongside Aspen, Studysync, and Alexs. But this year not only are there multiple changes to the school, but we are also not using Star anymore in ELA and math classes to monitor students' progress. We are instead using an app called “I-Ready.” But why the change you might ask, what benefits does the I-Ready program have, and why is the program better than Star?
