How Study Hall School tackled the first three months of Covid 19 in India

As the curtains were about to be drawn for the academic session 19 -20 and the final examinations were going to end, the country faced an unprecedented crisis due to the pandemic COVID 19. The schools were shut indefinitely throughout the country and amidst the lockdown, all regular academic work came to a grinding halt.

Amidst the uncertainty about reopening of school looming large, Study Hall declared the results of the examinations as per government advisory.

There after we started making preparations for the next session in right earnest and without much ado the teachers under the able leadership of the mentors took the plunge and started planning and looking for alternatives to ensure unhindered learning for all the students.

Videos were made, study material readied, and from the 7th of April online teaching began using Zoom and Google classroom.

Then the school switched to Microsoft Teams to provide a single platform for all teaching and assessment work.

Keeping in mind the feedback from parents and students, changes were incorporated to suit the interests of all.

Activity classes were also included to provide the necessary skills in a holistic manner and to keep the children happy.

The online classes continued till the 17th of May for all other classes except class 12 whose session ended on 25th May.  An online assessment was also held and results were declared before the summer vacation started for all.
