State‑wise Janmashtami school holiday today, Sep 4

Delhi‑NCR schools are scheduled for a holiday under Delhi and Uttar Pradesh calendars. Some institutions may still conduct pre‑scheduled exams or practicals with prior intimation. Use the table for a quick state view and verify local circulars.

District rain alerts and closures to watch

The India Meteorological Department district portal shows colour‑coded day‑wise warnings. This morning, Akashvani reported an Orange alert across several Uttarakhand districts. Dehradun, Champawat, Haridwar and Nainital schools, including Anganwadis, are shut today. Uttar Pradesh’s Lalitpur district ordered rain closure yesterday, showing fast‑changing conditions.

Delhi‑NCR reopening and weekend plan

If your school runs six days, classes resume Saturday, September 5. Five‑day week schools get a three‑day weekend and reopen Monday, September 7. Attendance is expected unless a fresh district order cites safety concerns. Watch morning advisories from the Directorate of Education and district magistrates.

Attendance rules and exam exceptions

Central government lists Janmashtami on September 4, which many central schools follow. However, Kendriya Vidyalayas may publish campus‑specific schedules; check the principal’s notice. Private schools can reschedule exams; carry admit cards if an exam proceeds. Parents should demand written communication for any deviation from the holiday.

Quick checklist for parents and students

Confirm today’s holiday from the school app or website before commuting. Recheck IMD’s district warnings and the district magistrate’s social feeds by 8 am. Plan for Monday, September 7 classes, or Saturday work, depending on schedule. Keep rain gear handy and allow extra travel time to avoid disruption.
