The state’s performance in dex shows that there are de clines of around six to eight percentage points in the ELA and mathematics portions of the Thetest.state,
However, Zappone has no ticed that the district is start ing to move back to where it was pre-pandemic.
How to improve
“They came off a very emo tional stressful year with the pandemic and they put their hearts and souls into teach ing everyday and preparing students and ensuring that they can be successful not only in the classroom but on assessments such as state level assessments because that’s one way to show their growth and their mastery in learning.”
Bridging gap
The state’s average for ELA for students meeting/ex ceeding standards was 49.1%, while Southington’s average for these levels was 64.1%, for all grades com bined. In math, CT’s average for levels three and four was 40%, while Southington’s was 58.4%, for all grades

For math, the Cheshire dis trict average for levels three and four, all grades com bined, was 70.3%. The state average was 40%.

“Through all those efforts with curriculum prioritiza tion and extra support staff and really getting back to in person learning models, our trajectory of moving forward with achievement and growth is increasing and get ting back to where we want to see it,” Zappone said.
Amy Zappone, director of teaching and learning for secondary education for Southington Public Schools, said she is happy with how Southington students per formed on last year’s SBAC.
Through COVID-19 funding, the district was able to cre ate smaller class sizes in the primary grades and hire ad ditional support staff and in tervention staff.
The State Department of Ed ucation reported that while there are some signs of progress, “the achievement in 2021-22 is still below the three most recent pre-pan demic years.”
In order to achieve these levels of learning, Zappone said the district is focusing on the standards in the cur “riculum.Andhoning down on the main key components of the standards and focusing on those priority standards be cause there is so much to be taught and learned, we have to focus on grade level in struction and finding a way to get all students to that lev el of mastery,” Zappone said.
“I think by doing those things well, the kids do well on the standardized assess ments, but they do really well in other ways as well,” Solan said. “That’s more im portant at the end of the Inday.”Southington,
Zappone said that each year, they track the SBAC results, at tempting to get back to the level of achievement the dis trict had pre-pandemic.

The best time to go apple picking is not when it gets cold, but rather when your desired apples are ready to pick. Apple orchards are most busy on the weekend during the middle of the afternoon, so go early or late in the day.

For those who suffer from certain types of arthritis, seeing a skilled chiropractor can be a safe and effective treatment. The goal of chiropractic care is to restore movement and function. However, the proper type of adjustment depends on the form of arthritis. Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease, is a common condition that causes pain in the spine; individuals with osteoarthritis are good candidates for chiropractic care. Acupuncture and cold laser therapy are great for arthritic conditions caused by an inflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis. Before any treatment plan is implemented, the chiropractor will take a detailed medical history and perform a thorough exam that may include X-rays to determine the right course of action.

Gabby Tirado is the other side of the AOTW comeback coin. Like Lyman Hall’s Cam Pra gano, Tirado suffered a season-ending injury early in her junior season. There’s no question it was a major hit for CHS. Tirado had been All-New England as a sophomore. Tirado returned to the field on Friday and opened her senior season by scoring both goals in the Rams’ 2-1 victory over Amity, their first over the Spartans since 2017.

Wilcox girls soccer has been torrid out of the gate. The hitch is, the Wildcats have done it far from home, blanking Platt Tech 3-0 in Milford on Friday and thumping Grasso Tech 7-2 in Groton on Monday. Wilcox can see what the team is all about in the home opener Wednesday against Goodwin Tech. They’ll see a fine goalkeeper in Joyce Vecchito. The junior had a five-save shutout vs. Platt and eight saves vs. Grasso.
Southington senior golf captain Ryan O’Don nell got on the Athlete of the Week radar back on August 30 when he shot a 1-under-par 35 on the front nine at Southington Country Club to lead the Blue Knights over Lewis Mills. O’Donnell sealed his Athlete of the Week nomination when he shot 35 again last Thursday, this time at Blue Fox Run, to lead SHS past host Avon. O’Donnell and the Blue Knights entered the new week at 3-2.
Saturday’s Sheehan-Lyman Hall soccer doubleheader was shaped by sibling combi nations. In the boys game, the Stone brothers of LH, Evan and Morgan, combined on the goal that forged a 1-1 tie. In the girls game, goals by Kate and Stacey Casorla propelled the Titans to a 4-1 victory. Kate, who added an assist, gets the AOTW nod. The senior captain is a returning All-SCC First Teamer who led Sheehan last year with 12 goals.
How much of a hit did Lyman Hall football take last year when wide receiver Cam Pra gano went down with a season-ending injury in Week 4? Opening night of the 2022 season offered a pretty good clue. The 6-foot senior pulled down a team-high six passes from quarterback Tyler Casey for 97 yards and touchdown in Friday’s 40-14 victory over Wil cox Tech at Fitzgerald Field. The touchdown came on a 70-yard reception.

A few years ago we ran into ex-Platt football star Adamis “Pito” Gonzalez and he said, “Watch for my nephew JoJo; he’s coming up at Maloney and he’s going to be good.” JoJo has indeed lived up to his uncle’s billing. A standout at receiver and defensive back on Maloney’s Class L state title team and dangerous return man to boot, Gonzalez launched his senior season Friday with an interception and 72-yard punt return for a TD.
