What date does the school year last? Autumn holidays are approaching in Russian schools

Holidays - best time for schoolchildren. Students look forward to each rest period with great impatience. And the spring holidays 2017-2018 are perhaps the most long-awaited of them: the third quarter, the longest and most difficult, ends in the spring, spring is the proximity of the end of the school year, the onset of warmth and the making of plans for the summer. What date does spring break start in 2018? Let's look a little more closely.

Every year, the Ministry of Education brings to the attention of municipal education departments, and through them to individual educational institutions, the school holiday schedule. The schedule is drawn up taking into account the hours allocated for study and rest.

However, plans for 2017-2018 academic year not yet: the department prepares such documents several months before the start of the new academic year. Accordingly, the vacation schedule has not yet been approved. But knowing when spring break began in 2017, you can calculate the vacation dates yourself.

Approximate days of spring break for the 2017-2018 academic year are March 26 – April 1.

That is, students will go on a long vacation on Saturday, March 24 (or on Sunday, March 25, if there is a six-day school week). You will have to return to school on Monday, April 2. Thus, the duration of the vacation will be 9 (or 8) days.

It is worth remembering that the dates are still approximate; the Ministry of Education may slightly shift the indicated dates. In addition, the right to final approval of vacation time belongs not to the ministry or even the municipal education department, but directly to the educational institution. That is, only the school principal can announce the start day of the holidays.

The carefree summer flies by, the holidays are coming to an end and school break. The first bell in schools is just around the corner. Thousands of boys and girls with bouquets of flowers will go for new knowledge.

The kids will have their next opportunity to take a little break from school in the fall. The school holiday schedule is established by order educational institution. When schoolchildren have holidays in the fall of 2018, parents can find out at their school or gymnasium.

General provisions

School holiday dates may differ from one school to another. The Ministry of Education only establishes the period of time during which schoolchildren should be given a break from the educational process. The number of vacation days is also approved.

The calendar schedule is approved in each educational institution separately by order based on the charter. There are gymnasiums in which students are given additional holidays. Also, additional holidays should be organized for first-graders for seven days in February.

In accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, the total number of vacation days must be at least 30. 56 days are allocated for summer vacation. It is often important for parents to know in advance when schoolchildren's holidays are in the fall of 2018. This is necessary for scheduling vacations at work and planning trips.

School holiday schedules

Different educational institutions have different school holiday schedules. This is due to the training system. The academic year may consist of trimesters or quarters. When studying in schools using the quarter system, it is recommended to organize 7 days of rest in the fall, 14 days in the winter and a week in the spring. At the discretion of the school administration, additional days of rest may be added if the holidays fall on public holidays.

Most often, holidays start on Monday and end on Sunday. This method of distributing vacation days helps to properly organize the study load.

In 2018, autumn holidays in many schools will begin on October 29. The holiday period will be extended due to the public holiday on November 4th. Day national unity in 2018 it falls on a Sunday. By general rules The day off will be moved to Monday - November 5th. Thus, the holidays will be extended by one more day.

    Do you think the children will have time to rest during the autumn holidays Oh?

    Of course they will have time

    No, a week is not enough

    Children never have too many holidays

From October 29, children who study according to the quarter system will have a rest in the fall. Their vacation will last 8 days, and they will return to school on November 6.

If training is organized by trimesters, then calculating vacations is much simpler. The educational process is structured in such a way that training for 4-5 weeks alternates with rest for a week. Thus, students will be able to take two breaks in the fall each semester.

The first holiday will begin on October 8 and end on October 14. The second time, schoolchildren will rest from November 19 to 25.

The total number of rest days both when studying in quarters and in semesters will ultimately be the same. In accordance with the order of the Ministry of Education, the number of vacation days in 2018-2019 must be at least 30 days.

Many studies show that children find it more difficult to learn by the end of the school year than during the course of the school year. The reason for this is child psychology and their natural desire for an active life, and not for forced learning. To help the younger generation cope with the load and fully facilitate the process of assimilation new information, and vacations were invented. It is not surprising that every schoolchild and his parents are so eager to find out the dates for the 2018 spring holidays in the Russian Federation in order to fully think through and organize their vacation in the most effective and interesting way.

When do spring school holidays start in 2018?

On this moment, we can only say approximately how the dates of school holidays will be formed, since each educational institution has its own approved schedule of vacation days for the spring of 2018. Despite this fact, in most Russian schools spring holidays 2018, will take place during from March 24 to April 1 2018 inclusive, so their duration will be 9 days. It should be noted that in some educational institutions, the holiday periods for schoolchildren may be shifted in relation to those given above, so do not be surprised if at your school, lyceum, etc., the spring holidays of 2018 will take place from March 19 to 25, or from April 1 to April 8, 2018.

Who sets the dates for spring break at school?

The first authority in determining the start and end dates of school spring holidays is, naturally, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation. It is there that educational standards are prescribed and the abilities of students throughout the country are assessed. Based on the data obtained, recommendations are formed for establishing the dates of days off and training time in various educational institutions. After which, each school, gymnasium or lyceum forms its own, deadlines and schedule holidays depending on the method of learning that is welcomed in this institution. In turn, parents of schoolchildren can also influence the opinion of management by making proposals for the formation of the educational process.

Rest for schoolchildren during spring break 2018

Unfortunately, unlike those that also affect adults, children's spring holidays often take place without the participation of parents, that is, most often boys and girls are left to their own devices. If you don’t think through their leisure time in advance, then children will most likely spend everything free time on computers or smartphones. For a young body, such a combination of circumstances is very destructive, so we recommend taking a closer look at alternative options spending spring break.

Of course, it’s good when it is possible to send a child to warm countries (for example, to the sea), where he can enjoy the sun and get a lot of impressions. But not all parents have this opportunity. Therefore, it is better to think about more economical options. For example, children's camps that gather children depending on age and hobbies. You can also organize an excursion trip around Russia or to any other state, to get acquainted with new cultures and their traditions.

In principle, school holidays are already an established value. The number of days has not changed for a long time. Summer holidays- that's three months. Autumn and spring - one week each. During the winter holidays, schoolchildren rest for two weeks.

The Ministry of Education names the approximate dates of the holidays, and the school administration finally approves them, according to the given time frame.

The Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation does not establish exact dates for children's holidays in all educational institutions, but is only limited to recommendations on the timing of rest periods for Russian students, taking into account their training in quarters or trimesters. There are also schools and gymnasiums that provide children with additional vacation periods, and for first-graders, in addition to general ones, a 7-day vacation in February is mandatory.

Vacation schedule for the 2018-2019 academic year

When studying at school in quarters, the recommended rest periods in schools, gymnasiums and lyceums are 7 calendar days in the fall, 2 weeks in the winter and 1 week in the spring. Two additional days at the discretion of the administration educational institution can be added to autumn or winter holidays taking into account public holidays (November 4 and New Year).

This means that the holiday schedule for 2018-2019. may include the following vacation dates:

  • autumn - from October 27 to November 5, 2018;
  • winter - from December 26, 2018 to January 8, 2019;
  • spring - from March 23 to March 31, 2019

Summer holidays begin for junior school students on May 23-25, and for high school students (except for 9th and 11th grades) - from June 1st. Graduates will complete the educational process in accordance with the exam schedule, taking place from the end of May to the end of June.

National Unity Day in 2018 falls on a Sunday, so the autumn holidays of the 2018-2019 academic year will most likely begin on October 29 and end on November 5, amounting to 8 days, and taking into account the weekends (October 27 and 28) - 9-10 days. During this time, schoolchildren will be able to have a good rest, visit museums and theaters, go to the cinema and spend time with parents and friends.

The 2019 New Year holidays begin for schoolchildren after December 25, 2018 and continue until January 9, 2019. All-Russian New Year holidays occur at this time, so the children will be able to spend them with their families. Family vacations can be spent at ski resorts and on trips to interesting places in Russia. Throughout the country at this time there are many fun activities for children that the whole family can attend.

The spring holidays of the 2018-2019 academic year will begin on March 23, and schoolchildren will begin their studies on April 1, 2019. The third quarter is the longest, and after it rest is especially needed. The end of the school year is coming up, and you should be well rested to complete it without problems. If the weather permits, this time should be devoted to walks and games in the fresh air. Vacations will also allow you to improve your knowledge in those subjects that require additional preparation.

Many Russian schools with the consent of the parent committees, we switched to training in trimesters, which involves dividing the school period into 3 parts. This entails a change in the rest time of schoolchildren compared to students in quarters.

Vacations under the modular system are calculated according to the following scheme: training - 5-6 weeks, then rest - 7 days. Children take the following breaks from their studies:

  • in the fall of 2018, these days fall on October 7-13 and November 18-24;
  • in winter - from December 29, 2018 to January 8, 2019 and February 18-24;
  • in the spring of 2019 - April 8-14.
  • Summer holidays will last from June 1 to August 31.

Vacations for first grade students

Additional holidays for first-graders in 2018-2019 will be held from February 25 to March 3. They were introduced in order to help young schoolchildren better adapt to school and spend the longest quarter of the school period. The same additional vacation period is recommended for students in correctional educational institutions. In some schools, holidays in February are arranged for all students primary classes from 1 to 4.

Today we feel the approach of the New Year holidays and long-awaited winter holidays among schoolchildren. The guys are already waiting for the day when they don’t go to class and exchange their school desks for sleds, skis, and skates. The Ministry of Education explained when children's holidays will end in 2019, how many days they will last, and when additional holidays will begin for first-graders.

The dates of winter holidays established by the Ministry of Education are advisory. The school leadership of each educational institution draws up its own schedule, but as close as possible to the one provided by the department. The duration of the winter holidays will be almost 2 weeks.

When do winter holidays begin and end in the 2018-2019 school year, and when will first-graders rest?

The beginning and end of school holidays depend on several factors - the educational system (quarters, trimesters, modules), weather conditions, and climatic features of the area. If children study in quarters, then the duration of winter holidays for them is 2 weeks, spring and autumn - 1 week. For them, the New Year holidays will begin on December 26 and end on January 8, 2019.

If schoolchildren study on a semester or modular system, then their holidays this winter begin on December 29 and also end on January 8, 2019. But the guys will study until February 18, and will go on vacation again until February 24 inclusive.

Additional winter holidays will be introduced for first-graders: they begin in 2019 on February 25 and end on March 3. The corresponding decision was made in order to reduce the burden on young children, so that they would subsequently better assimilate new material.

Officials decided to give Russians the opportunity to spend more time with their children during the winter holidays. Adults will also have a long vacation - from December 30 to January 8. For these holidays Parents can keep their children busy with something useful:

  1. For every day, it is advisable to plan 1 useful event: today - go to the cinema, tomorrow - to a play, the next day - to the theater and so on. During the holidays, schoolchildren should receive impressions and engage in self-education;
  2. The child’s leisure time needs to be diversified: do something interesting, do things together physical activity, play more logic games;
  3. During the holidays, it is advisable to protect your child from various gadgets so that he can spend more time outdoors with friends.
