Several schools have decided to stagger their reopening and only call to the campus the students of Classes X and XII for now.
The state government has allowed schools to reopen for Classes IX to XII, but several heads said their focus was on the students preparing for the board exams who need to test their preparedness.
The phased reopening will help schools space out students and not crowd the campuses at any point of time, at least two school heads said.
La Martiniere for Girls, St James’ School, South Point and Sri Sri Academy will start with Classes X and XII. Modern High School for Girls and Mahadevi Birla World Academy are starting with only Class XII.
