RS Junior Modern School in New Delhi has announced that it will conduct classes in hybrid mode from Friday, July 24 until further notice, citing the “ongoing situation in central Delhi.”
Students from nursery to class five can attend classes either physically or online, the school said in a circular issued on Thursday.
“In view of the ongoing situation in central Delhi, the school will conduct classes in hybrid mode (both physical and online mode) from July 24, 2026 until further notice,” the circular said.
The school explained that students attending classes from home will continue to follow the regular school schedule by logging into their Microsoft Teams accounts.
She also directed students to maintain school decorum and wear the prescribed school uniform during online classes and not to raise any inquiries with teachers until after the end of school hours through Teams.
The circular added that school buses will continue to operate according to the usual schedule for students attending classes on campus.
The school said that the hybrid arrangement will remain in place until further notice and requested cooperation from parents.
The advice comes amid tight security arrangements across central Delhi in the wake of the recent protests and the ongoing monsoon session of Parliament.

Internet outage and metro disruption in Delhi
Meanwhile, internet services remained unavailable till Andhra Pradesh Bhavan on Ashoka Road, about 1.8 km from the protest site. Connectivity was restored after crossing to Copernicus Marg via Ashoka Road, generally in line with the reported closure area.
The internet blackout also covered several prominent locations in central Delhi, including Janpath Market near Connaught Place, Le Meridien Hotel, Shangri-La Eros, the National Media Center and the office of the Women’s Press Corps of India.
Earlier on Wednesday, the DMRC closed 16 Metro stations, including Rajiv Chowk, Central Secretariat, Mandi House, ITO and Khan Market, until further instructions due to security reasons.
The development came as the crowd swelled at the ongoing Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest at Jantar Mantar. Interchange facilities remained available at Rajiv Chowk, Mandi House and Central Secretariat metro stations even during the lockdown.
But after 14 hours, the entry gates at Rajiv Chowk, Mandi House and Central Secretariat metro stations were reopened on Thursday evening.
