THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: After remaining closed for one and a half years due to Covid, schools will reopen tomorrow. Classes one to seven, ten and twelve will begin with the entrance ceremony. Classes eight and nine will start on November 15. Class will start once the Plus One admission process is completed. 50 schools in Kuttanad taluk will not be reopened tomorrow due to floods.

Schools have been cleaned and painted to welcome the children. In the first week, classes will be from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Study for three days in two divisions. No uniform. No assembly and attendance is not mandatory. The children's temperature is checked with a thermal scanner and before entering the school. Admission for parents will be only up to the school gate.

Teachers who have taken two doses of vaccine need to teach. At the same time, there were 2282 teachers and 327 non-teachers who did not take the two-dose vaccine. They should not come to school. Children with illness or symptoms should not come to school. You can continue your studies online from home.

The suggestion is that teachers should treat children with love and create a new atmosphere. The first week of classes is all about changing the mood of the children with jokes and laughter. Children should notify teachers of any difficulties. The doctor will come and check it immediately.
