South Point High School Vice President Krishna Damani told PTI that face-to-face classes at the institution have resumed from April 23 and will continue until May 12.

There is no possibility of suspension of classes before the date. Summer vacation for both sections will begin May 13 and last for a month, she said. “We had closed the campus and went online from April 16 to 21 when the heat wave was on. As the temperatures have now dropped, we feel that classes can now continue until the scheduled date of summer vacation. We do not see the need to advance the dates, ”he said.

La Martiniere’s secretary, Supriyo Dhar, also said that the holidays for the boys’ and girls’ sections will start from May 13. “Extreme heat conditions forced us to suspend physical classes last week. But the conditions are no longer so stifling for the children,” she added.

BDM International School Principal Madhumita Sengupta said: “We have no plans to move the summer holidays to the first week of May. However, if the situation becomes too hot and humid for the children, we can think of something for the primary section. In-person classes for the secondary and higher level will continue as scheduled until the end of this month when the holidays begin.
