Students from the Asian Studies Academy at Bellizzi School in Hartford were dismissed at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday and will have a half-day schedule for the next four school days because of heat and the lack of air conditioning in the school.
During the half days, students will go to school from 8:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. They will be allowed to modify their school uniforms and wear shorts, T-shirts and other light clothing, according to a statement from the school district.
The school day is supposed to go until 3:55 p.m. Students whose parents were unable to pick them up at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday were moved to the few areas in the school that have air conditioning until the regular dismissal time.
