In response to the ongoing cold weather in the city, local authorities have revised school timings to ensure the safety and comfort of students. These changes aim to protect children from the cold and maintain their health during the winter months.
Why Were the School Timings Changed?
With the temperature dropping significantly, attending school early in the morning became challenging for students. In response, the Chandigarh administration has updated the school schedule to allow for later start times, prioritizing students’ well-being.
New School Timings for Winter:
- Classes 9 to 12: Morning shift schools will now begin at a later time and end in the afternoon.
- Classes up to 8: Classes will be conducted online, starting at a set time.
- Schools with pre-board exams may have different opening hours.
- These changes apply to both government and private schools across Chandigarh.
Effective Date for the New Timings:
The revised timings are effective immediately and will remain in place until further notice. The education department will continue to monitor weather conditions and make further adjustments if necessary.
What Parents Need to Know:
Parents should take note of the updated school timings and adjust their schedules accordingly. Senior students are encouraged to dress warmly and follow the new timings. School authorities will provide additional updates as required, and parents should stay connected with the school for further announcements.
This adjustment ensures that students can continue their education comfortably and safely during the cold weather.
