“Parents make sure that your ward actively participates in the online classes. Since the situation is becoming worse, we advise you to remind the children to comply with the rule of social-distancing and take necessary precautions to keep them safe and healthy,” the school said.

A handful of schools have even taken offline assessments and exams online, while in some cases schools have received requests from parents to hold online classes.
