When Will Schools Reopen After Dasara?
The scheduled return is 23 October 2026. Parents should check the reporting time and transport arrangements communicated by their school. Before travelling, save the school’s holiday notice so that the return date is easy to find.
This article focuses on Telangana schools. Junior colleges, universities, schools in Andhra Pradesh and institutions following separate calendars need their own notices checked. A shared holiday starting date does not necessarily mean a shared reopening date.
What to Complete Before the Holidays
- Check the final examination timetable: Keep the latest school-issued version, particularly where an examination session has been revised.
- Write down pending work: List assignments, projects and materials to bring back. Ask the teacher about anything unclear before leaving.
- Take the right books home: Choose the textbooks and notebooks needed for the assigned work rather than carrying every school record.
- Save the reopening information: Note the return date, school timing and transport contact in one place.

A Practical Holiday Learning Plan
The following activities are suggestions from The Complete School, rather than compulsory holiday assignments. Adjust them to the child’s age, school work and family plans. A short task completed with understanding is more useful than several pages copied without thought.
| Classes | Manageable activities |
|---|---|
| I–II | Read a short passage with an adult, count everyday objects and describe a picture in a few sentences. |
| III–V | Practise basic calculations, read a story and write a short paragraph about a family or festival experience. |
| VI–VIII | Revisit two difficult topics, solve selected textbook questions and keep a small vocabulary notebook. |
| IX–X | Practise weak topics, work through mathematics steps and explain science or social studies answers in your own words. |
Use Examination Feedback to Choose Revision
If evaluated work or teacher feedback is available, identify a few specific difficulties. For example, a student making repeated fraction errors can practise five carefully chosen problems and explain each step. A student struggling with written answers can practise a short answer, check the key points and rewrite it once.
If results are still pending, use the questions the student found difficult during the examination. Bring unresolved doubts back to the subject teacher after reopening.
A Flexible Daily Routine
Older students could try 15 minutes of reading, 20 minutes of problem-solving and 15 minutes reviewing one topic. Younger children can use shorter sessions with an adult. Keep time for outdoor play, sleep and celebrations; the routine should support the holiday rather than fill the entire day.
How Parents Can Help
- Agree on a small target: Let the child choose which pending task to finish first.
- Ask for an explanation: “How did you get this answer?” helps reveal whether the child understands the work.
- Use everyday learning: Reading a signboard, comparing prices or describing local flowers can become a simple language or mathematics activity.
- Prepare for the return: Check the school bag, completed work, uniform and transport arrangements before the last holiday evening.
Reopening Checklist for Headmasters and Teachers
These are practical planning suggestions. Separate examination, valuation, training or administrative duties should be checked against the orders communicated to the staff concerned.
- Communicate clearly: Share one consistent notice with the holiday period, return date and school contact.
- Coordinate assignments: Review the combined workload across subjects so that holiday tasks remain realistic.
- Plan the first lessons: Prepare a brief recap and a few questions to identify where students need support.
- Follow up on attendance: Check absences after reopening and contact parents through the school’s usual process.
- Use assessment information: When evaluation is complete, select priority learning gaps and plan focused support lessons.
