School New Year holidays. School holidays awaiting reform? When do students rest?

Autumn holidays at school in 2018 are approved for the following dates:

Most of them study according to the quarter system, so their holidays will begin at the end of October, and they will have to go to school on Monday 8th.

IN Soviet period school holidays were strictly limited to certain days. Now they can change, and each school can set its own deadlines. Especially if it is, say, a private school. However, there is an order from the Education Committee that stipulates the vacation dates.

Based on this order, each school sets the start and end period for the holidays. Many have probably encountered the fact that in one school the holidays begin at one time, and in the neighboring school at a completely different time.

A natural question arises: what is this connected with?

There are two, let’s say, methods of learning: by quarters, the most common, and by trimesters. If the school operates in quarters, then the holiday schedule is standard, namely, 9 autumn days, New Year holidays last 10 days and spring holidays - 7 days. In addition, for the first classes, additional winter holidays lasting 7 days. How do children relax in schools that teach in trimesters? Here they study for 5 weeks and then rest for 1 week. Winter holidays are the same for all schools.

Calendar for autumn holidays 2018

The very first holidays are coming, which will begin in the new 2018 school year. Schoolchildren, especially middle-level students (grades 5-8), begin to wait for them almost a week after the start of school. And if it’s golden autumn outside, then children don’t even want to sit at their desks in good sunny weather.

Winter is perhaps the most long-awaited period in the life of schoolchildren, after summer, of course. At this time of year, students can expect not only holidays, but also the longest in comparison with the spring and autumn holidays. Winter holidays coincide with the middle of the school year, when it is time to take a break from studying. In addition, this is the longest weekend for parents. This is a good reason for the whole family to get together to spend time together. New Year, Christmas can be wonderfully planned out every day. As a rule, regardless of the teaching schedule of each school, winter holidays are spent the same way for everyone: two winter weeks.

Winter holidays at school are approved for the following dates:

In honor of the New Year, all schoolchildren are exempt from classes, regardless of whether they study in quarters or trimesters. Moreover, the New Year holidays, as a rule, “fit in” with the all-Russian weekend: in other words, schoolchildren rest almost simultaneously with adults, which gives parents an excellent opportunity to spend time with their children.

By the way, for first-graders who are just starting to get used to school life, additional holidays have been introduced - from February 18 to 25, 2018 (8 days). Meanwhile, in some schools such additional rest is provided for the entire “beginning” - for students from grades 1 to 4.

During the upcoming holidays and vacations, schoolchildren will enjoy many interesting and varied events, starting from a fabulous program at the New Year's tree. But of course, at this time, not a single child can be kicked out of the street, where there is a lot of snow, where you can ride down the slide and play snowballs with your friends. Slightly frosty and sunny weather invites you to get busy active species activities. Some may have skis, some may have skates.

The main advice to parents: take your child away from the TV and computer during these long holidays.

Winter holiday calendar 2017-2018

New Year holidays, as a rule, begin in the last week of December and end on the 10th of January. Schoolchildren go to school on Monday. Winter holidays in the 2017/2018 academic year will continue from December 25 to January 8. First-graders will have additional holidays in winter* – from 19 to 25 February

The established dates for the winter holidays are primarily typical for those schools that study in quarters. But there are schools that teach in trimesters. The main difference between such training is that all teaching time is divided not into four parts, as in quarterly training, but into three.

Each of the trimesters, in turn, is divided into two parts, after each of which the children have a vacation.

After its completion, schoolchildren begin their winter holidays, which will last from December 31 to January 10. The second part of the winter term begins on January 10 and ends on February 21. After its completion, schoolchildren will have a holiday from February 21 to 27. The dates of the main winter holidays are the same for those who study in quarters and for those who study in trimesters. This rule always remains for the winter holidays. The only difference is the availability of additional holidays for trimesters.

First-graders also have their own vacation schedule, which is slightly different from high school. Children, like everyone else, will have their main winter holidays from December 25 to January 8. But there are also additional ones. Those who study in quarters will go on additional holidays from February 19 to 25.

The timing of the additional holidays themselves, as well as the timing of postponing holidays in general, depend on many factors. First of all, it depends on the air temperature. For junior classes The maximum minus temperature is set at 25 degrees, for high school This temperature is minus 28 degrees. And finally, for high school students (10-11) this temperature is minus 30 degrees Celsius. In addition, the temperature required for conducting classes in classrooms has been determined. If it is below plus 18 degrees, then classes cannot be conducted. In winter, the morbidity threshold also increases much more often. At the same time, quarantine can be declared not only in a region, district or city, but also in a separate school if the epidemic threshold exceeds 25% of the total number of schoolchildren.

All children look forward to the holidays every year to take a break from their busy school days. Information about the 2015-2016 vacation schedule will be useful not only for students, but also for their parents, who will be able to plan their vacation and come up with a children's entertainment plan for this period in advance.

Autumn holidays

Despite the fact that each educational institution has the right to independently set the timing of planned breaks in the educational process, lately society is increasingly returning to a single format, the most common in the country's schools.

The first opportunity for children to put their textbooks aside for a while will be the autumn school holidays of the 2015-2016 season. They are scheduled to begin at October 31, duration – 9 days until November 8. They will return to classes on Monday, November 9.

Festive winter - winter holidays

The longest and, perhaps, the most beloved by children after the summer are the winter days free from school. During this period there are two magical holidays - New Year and Christmas. In addition, cultural life offers a rich educational and entertainment program.

It is assumed that the New Year holidays in 2016 may begin on December 26. In this case, schoolchildren are given two full weeks and two days to rest. The best winter 16 days for children will expire on Sunday, January 10, and on Monday, January 11, they will have to return to school.

The 2015-2016 winter holidays are also good because most parents are also on legal vacation at this time and have the opportunity to go on a trip with their children or simply enjoy spending time together.

Spring respite

In the spring, when academic year is gradually coming to an end, the spring school holidays of the 2015-2016 school year provide students with a short respite before the intense April and May.

The school holiday schedule in 2015-2016 promises the children 9 free spring days, starting from March 26. The holiday will last until Monday, April 4, when the 4th quarter begins.

The last chance to catch your breath before will be only on the May holidays: from May 1 to May 3, as well as May 7, 8, 9.

Additional ones may be introduced from February 16 to February 28, 2016. In addition, students in Russian educational institutions will have days off on February 23, 2016, March 8, 2016, May 2, 3, and May 9, 2016.

When planning holidays for the 2015-2016 school year and their duration, schools provide children with the opportunity to relax a little and “digest” the load school curriculum and regain strength before the next quarter. And how fruitful this vacation will be depends entirely on loving parents.

How the school holiday calendar is formed

Order of the Moscow Department of Education dated July 7, 2014. No. 01-50/02-1485/14 “On recommended vacation dates”: download
Vacations are an unusually “tasty” and pleasant topic for discussion. Children (and parents too - let’s be honest!) are waiting for them almost from the first day of school. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to discuss what the school holidays will be like in the 2016-2017 academic year, even in the midst of hot summer days.
All holidays for the 2016-2017 academic year will, as before, be regulated by the Ministry of Education. Or rather, the Ministry of Education gives recommendations, and whether to follow them or not is up to the school. As a rule, this issue is resolved at the beginning of the year at the School Council and is fixed by order of the director. The choice largely depends on the internal routine of the educational institution, namely: studies are conducted in quarters or trimesters at one or another alma mater.
Now a little more specific.

School holidays 2016-2017 academic year: autumn, winter, spring

Autumn holidays 2016 –from October 31 to November 6.
For those who study in trimesters, autumn will give you a short break twice: from 6 to 12 October and from 17 to 24 November.

New Year holidays We have in common: all schoolchildren have a two-week vacation, regardless of whether they study in quarters or trimesters. From December 26, 2016 to January 9, 2017 schoolchildren will be completely free.

While the kids are enjoying the extra holidays, which in 2017 will begin on February 21 and end on February 28, everyone else will try to withstand the stress of the third quarter - the longest and hardest.

Spring break- this is the beacon to which all school ships sailing on the sea of ​​knowledge strive. In 2017, spring pleases with relaxation from March 27 to April 2 those who study in quarters. A from April 5 to April 11 Vacations for students in trimesters will begin.
Summer holiday begins with the calendar beginning of summer and continues until September 1.

How is the school holiday calendar formed?

So, if school is taught in quarters, children have rest 4 times a year:>
Autumn: 9 days in the last week of October and the first week of November (including weekends)
In winter: last days December and 10 days in January - a total of 14 days.
In spring: last 7 days of March
Summer: three summer months
An additional winter week of vacation is provided for first-graders and students in special classes.
If educational institution studies in trimesters, then students will study for 5 weeks and rest for 1 week. With the exception of the New Year holidays - they are the same for everyone.
However, I repeat: the school has the right to adjust the rest time itself, so in different cities and in different schools Vacation dates may vary. Of course, if the school is private, then it decides this issue absolutely independently and has the right not to be guided by the recommendations of the Ministry of Education. The holiday hours of such schools may differ significantly from public schools.
I would like to wish everyone a good rest, but I would like to wish you good work, because whoever is in harmony with work is not at odds with rest. Right?

By the way, for planning a vacation, use a calendar of holidays.

Vacations at school, college or university, vacations at work are practically the same thing. This is a period when you can relax, rest and gain strength before the next stage of hard work or study. There is only one tangible difference - adults have the right to choose their own dates for vacations and travel, while for schoolchildren and students there is a vacation calendar.

School holidays- This is what most children and teenagers constantly look forward to. Many people begin to dream about their beginning on September 1, when there is a whole academic year ahead. However, rest is always preceded by a tense period associated with the end of a quarter, half-year or semester. You need to write tests, take exams and tests.

School holidays happen 4 times a year, and university students have a rest educational institutions only happens 2 times.

As a rule, the dates of such rest periods are determined in advance. This is necessary for both the students themselves and their parents of schoolchildren in order to take leave from work and plan any trips. This is especially important now, during a period of financial crisis and total austerity. You can significantly reduce the cost of travel if you buy tickets and book a hotel in advance. The same applies to children's and tourist camps. In addition, there is a risk of being left without vouchers altogether.

Vacation schedule

The weekend schedule must be drawn up and approved before the start of the school year. 2015–2016 was no exception. It should be noted that the management of educational institutions has the right to determine the dates when children should go to classes and when to rest. But there are also certain recommendations from the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation and local departments, to which many teachers listen. This is why vacation periods often coincide in many schools.

This is convenient for children who can relax, communicate and walk together, as well as for those structures that organize various entertaining and educational activities for schoolchildren, for example, excursions to museums, tourist trips or trips to the theater.

Duration of rest

During the 2015–2016 school year, middle and high school students rest for a total of a month, this includes autumn, winter and spring holidays, and then about 3 more months - summer holidays.

From the end of October to the beginning of November, the children rested for only a week, New Year holidays 2016 – twice as much.

Spring break, like fall break, lasts only a week, usually the last week of March. Schoolchildren are looking forward to this opportunity to put down their textbooks and walk all day long. Firstly, because the spring holidays come after the longest - the third quarter. Secondly, this is the period when frosts recede. The thaw begins, the snow melts, the streams flow. The sun shines brightly and warms the earth. On days like these, it’s very difficult to force yourself, and even more so your child, to take up books. At the end of March, schoolchildren have 7 days to enjoy spring to the fullest without going to class or doing homework.

After the fourth quarter, the school year ends and students have a long summer break.

The little ones are given concessions. Representatives of the first classes are given the right to rest more during the third quarter; at the end of February they get another week.

Vacation calendar

And so, in 2016, most schoolchildren will go on spring break on March 25, which is Friday. Next Monday - March 28th, children will be able, with a clear conscience, to stay at home. They will have to return to school on April 3.

First-graders will receive additional holidays even earlier, from February 20 to 28. Thus, they decided to divide the third, longest quarter.

The last bell of 2016 will ring, according to tradition, on May 25. For those who do not need to take exams. They will go to rest, while the rest will have to wait for the Unified State Exam and other tests.

Student holidays

Unlike schoolchildren, who have vacations 4 or even 5 times a year, students only have 2 vacations. And both times, students of higher educational institutions can relax only after passing the session, all tests and exams.

Teachers cannot name specific dates for the holidays even with the beginning educational process. It all depends on the schedule of lectures, the schedule of tests and exams, as well as the ability to retake failures and tighten up. Coursework can solve a lot theses. If they were written in advance and meet the requirements for them, then most likely they will be protected on time. Otherwise, writing and defending scientific work could ruin your entire vacation.

Don't forget about practice. Some will have to work for another month in their specialty. The exact dates for the start of student holidays in 2016 cannot be precisely named even now.

This is decided not only by each individual university, but dates can even change for different courses, streams and groups.

The law defines only one figure: every student must rest in the summer for at least 35 days.

School and university students will have the same amount of vacation time in 2016 as before. However, the holiday schedule may change somewhat. This depends on the decision of the pedagogical council and the management of educational institutions. Therefore, it is better to check the dates with teachers in advance. Then students and applicants will be able to pull up their tails on time, pay off debts and correct bad grades. At this time, parents will have the opportunity to plan a vacation with their children, for example. Tourist trip. After all, buying tickets and booking hotels in advance can save up to half the cost of travel.
