What date to school after the 3rd quarter. Annual educational and calendar schedule \ Yellyk calendar Uku graphs

Winter holidays, which usually coincide with the New Year.

We have long been accustomed to the fact that compulsory rest days in different educational institutions may fall on different dates. And of course, everyone knows that the reason for such discrepancies is the training formats. When dividing the year into four unequal parts (quarters), the break follows immediately after the end of the quarter, and when dividing the year into trimesters, every four to five weeks.

However, the situation with winter holidays looks completely different - this period practically coincides in all educational institutions, regardless of the profile and format of education. The difference can be literally a couple of days - trimester schools may announce the beginning of the weekend a day or two later than the "quarter" institutions. But the rest invariably ends on one day.

Winter holidays 2018-2019 in schools with a quarterly mode of study: December 26-27, 2018 - January 8, 2019 inclusive.

That is, the last lessons will be held on Tuesday 25.12. or Wednesday 26.12. School will start again on Wednesday 01/09/2019.

The decision on the start and end time of the holidays in the new academic year will be accepted by each educational institution independently. The dates of school holidays 2018-2019 in a particular educational institution depend on many factors: training in trimesters, quarters or modules; weather; climatic conditions of the area; The Ministry of Education sets the recommended vacation dates, but the final decision still remains with the leadership of educational institutions.

Date of winter break in 2018-2019 academic year

2nd quarter is the shortest and flies by quickly. Children look forward to winter holidays with trepidation, as they coincide with the New Year holidays. They will have to be patient and study until December 28-29. It's about moving the weekend to state level. Monday December 31 is declared a day off, adults and children will work for it on Saturday the 29th. Although it is unlikely that there will be lessons in the schedule that day. Holidays will last until 01/10/2019. But it is not excluded that a number of educational institutions will enable students not to remember the lessons until the Old New Year.

First day of the third quarter

Some difficulties may be caused by the calculation of the first school day in 2019. The long New Year and Christmas winter holidays, when both adults and children have a rest, usually last exactly a decade - the first ten days of January. But in 2019, the winter "vacation" will be somewhat shorter than usual. The reason is the Christmas holidays.

Christmas, although not included in the list of public holidays, is an official holiday. That is, with respect to this date, the law on the transfer of holidays comes into force. But January 7 and 8 - Christmas days - fall on Monday and Tuesday. This means that no transfers, compensations and extension of the usual vacation are expected. And the first working day in 2019 for everyone, including schoolchildren, will be Wednesday, January 9th.

Surprise for first graders

In order to reduce the level of stress, in the middle of the longest and most difficult quarter - the third - an additional break was made. Rest, as a rule, falls at the end of winter, when the New Year's fun has almost been erased from memory, and warm spring days are still so far away. True, such an unexpected “vacation” was given only to first-graders, and all other students, both junior and middle, will continue to learn lessons.

The New Year holidays and winter holidays are over. The third quarter begins at school, the longest and most difficult. And not only because almost all subject programs are structured in such a way that the most complex and voluminous material is studied during this period, that in February-March all kinds of olympiads, tests and control tests that affect annual marks are held, and graduate students begin prepare for exams ... Vitamin deficiency, winter cold do their job: children at this time often get sick, get tired quickly and cease to adequately perceive information. Not a single child is able to endure this load and remain able to work.

In winter, the load must be reduced

Specialists from the Institute of Developmental Physiology of the Russian Academy of Education and the Research Institute of Hygiene and Children's Health of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences identify three groups of factors affecting the health of a child. The first is weather conditions and climate, the second is the atmosphere in the family, the third is the organization of school activities.

The third quarter accounts for a combination of weather conditions and an organization that is irrational from the point of view of physiology school life. Hence the fair conclusion of many hygienists that the domestic vacation system, left to us from Soviet times, is simply harmful. According to her, the first quarter has a duration of 65 days, followed by 5 days of vacation. The second quarter is 50 days and 12 days of holidays. The first two quarters of the children, healed by the summer sun and vitamins, can withstand. But the third one is the hardest.
First, by this time most of academic year and fatigue accumulates (whatever the holidays). We must not forget about emotional fatigue. Even if the child does not try very hard in the classroom, he still gets tired: from a lot of people, the same faces, fears and feelings of guilt, tension in the lesson. Monotonous long work, constant tension, lack of perspective close rest(until the next vacation another 2 months) pump up internal anxiety, provoke depressive moods in children.
Secondly, in winter there is a short daylight hours, a lack of ultraviolet radiation. And, thirdly, there is a lack of vitamins: no matter what we say about the abundance of vegetables and fruits in winter, these are artificially grown products that have been stored for a long time. It is difficult to assume that every child eats 3 fruits a day (as experts advise). There is another important reason: the children began to walk less. According to research by the Institute of Developmental Physiology, which has been ongoing for 20 years, today even rural schoolchildren are in the air for no more than half an hour. The reason is the same computer and TV. In addition, the number of lessons is growing every year.
The average daily load of a 9th grade student is 14–16 hours ( school lessons, electives plus homework), so what else can he do? The director of the Institute of Developmental Physiology, Academician of the Russian Academy of Education Maryana Bezrukikh, considers it completely wrong that by winter the workload in our schools does not decrease, but increases (it should be the other way around) and its peak falls on February. It is important to correctly redistribute the load, for example, in April, you can increase. These issues are up to the school to decide.
In studies, it was found that the first two weeks after the rest, the working capacity of schoolchildren increases. Then another two weeks keeps on high level, and on the fifth - begins to fall. It is then, according to doctors, that the guys need to be given a break. If continuous study lasts more than eight weeks (and the third quarter lasts all ten), the performance of adolescents and high school students falls, and younger students begin to lose weight altogether, complain of poor health, headache, drowsiness, decreased attention. Doctors observe vegetative-vascular disorders in such children with a tendency to hypertensive reactions.

Signs of overwork

If the child has become excessively whiny, passive, or, on the contrary, explosive, violent, complains of malaise in the morning (stomach, head, throat, leg hurt ...); if a teenager has become aggressive, gloomy, withdrawn, perhaps absent-minded, complains of a bad memory, grades have dropped sharply and entries about absenteeism have appeared in the diary; if by mid-February he lost weight, he has bruises under his eyes and he began to sleep poorly, the situation is alarming.
Fatigue is a temporary decrease in performance under the influence of prolonged exposure to stress. It arises from the depletion of internal resources and mismatch in the work of the systems that ensure the activity.
It can manifest itself at the behavioral level - a decrease in labor productivity, a decrease in the speed and accuracy of work; on the physiological - difficulty in the development of conditional relationships, an increase in inertia in dynamics nervous processes; on the psychological - a decrease in sensitivity, a violation of attention, memory, intellectual processes, shifts in the emotional and motivational sphere.
In the absence of measures that reduce the degree or remove the residual effects of fatigue, the development of borderline and pathological conditions is possible.

What can teachers do

Try to understand why the student does not learn the material. An overly slow child needs to repeat what he learned at school once again at home. Help too fast learn perseverance, concentration - a skill that is very important for any student (there are many relevant games, trainings, a good option is a chess tournament).
Physical education lessons, gymnastic and relaxation exercises (relaxation) contribute to the restoration of the working capacity of younger students. The results of scientific research have shown that the daily use of physical exercises and relaxation elements during the working week (at the fourth lesson) allows you to maintain the performance of children at the end of the school day, week and quarter. Learning outcomes did not decrease by the end of the day and week, although such a pattern was observed before the introduction of such classes. Teachers and parents state an improvement in academic performance, an increase in activity, and motivation for learning.
However, the effectiveness of their use varies depending on the psychological and age characteristics of younger students.
So, for example, physical exercises for 15 minutes. give the greatest effect for students 7-8 years old. Their attention span was almost completely restored, task tempo and shiftability increased by more than 50 percent. Lesson physical education duration 40 min. allowed to restore the level of working capacity, but in somewhat lower indicators of the studied values. Performing relaxing exercises proved to be ineffective in restoring the studied functions. Scientists believe that for children 7–8 years old, the physical activities offered during the lesson are quite high. It is more difficult for children of this age to organize themselves and get involved in the maximum possible pace of work in the lesson after 40 minutes of motor activity.
The use of relaxation elements is not enough effective method recovery, obviously because some children do not immediately master the relaxation exercises. Only after a few serious and regular studies at school can one feel some result.
Pupils of the 3rd grade (10–11 years old), on the contrary, are best helped to restore their working capacity by a physical education lesson. In this case, the concentration of attention, the pace of execution and switchability recovered almost completely. But the implementation of physical exercises or elements of relaxation turned out to be a factor that did not contribute enough to the restoration of working capacity after the achieved level of fatigue.
Good health and good spirits indispensable condition successful study. But physical health is also directly related to psychological well-being, so do not forget that the child needs support, encouragement and sympathy. Remember the sense of humor and the magical power of art. Bright, beautiful photographs, paintings, indoor plants in flower pots will cheer up and vitality for both students and you.
After all, teachers also experience the difficulties of a protracted third quarter! Therefore, actively take part in the physical education session yourself, bring a bright fruit, and before lunch break, let it lie not in the bag, but in plain sight. A bouquet of flowers will also cheer you up, even if you gave it to yourself. Take the kids outside for a walk, go camping on the weekends. And don't forget to bring your own kids...they're just as badly affected by the third quarter as your students!

What can parents do

No matter how old your child is, parents will have to follow his healthy lifestyle. And the older the student, the more difficult it is to do it so that it does not become a cause of family strife.
Parental help should be inconspicuous and unobtrusive: organize a joint skiing trip, buy skates for all family members or just ride along an ice slide, put a bowl of fruit (oranges, tangerines, persimmons - both beautiful and healthy) in the child's room. Put a vitamin right in your son's mouth with a wish of good luck. For breakfast, vitamin tea is useful, for example, with St. John's wort or wild rose. If there is dry air in the room (and this is often the case, because central heating batteries not only warm the air in the apartment, but also dry it out), then put a humidifier in the bedroom so that the child feels more cheerful in the morning. You can organize a family trip out of town, a trip to the sauna, swimming pool.

The key to success schooling - Quality homework. Not all children are able to do them on their own. Some sit for hours at textbooks, but to no avail, others, on the contrary, hoping for the help of adults, wait for them to return from work, open notebooks late at night. It's also parental fault. With the baby, we usually do homework together. And then suddenly we decide that it is time for the child to become independent, and he does not even know how to approach the matter.
Discuss with the children possible tactics and strategies. Unsure of yourself should start with the easiest tasks. Having successfully completed the exercise, the child will feel the strength in himself and gradually master much more complex tasks. And someone, on the contrary, is better to choose the most difficult subjects, and a paragraph from a biology textbook can be read before going to bed. Emotional children should first complete tasks in their favorite subjects, then the supply of good mood will be enough for everything else. Someone will help quiet background music, and someone needs complete silence.
It is important to teach children how to properly manage time. academic work at home: alternate types of classes in various subjects, take breaks between them for 10-15 minutes, during which stress is relieved, eyes rest.
If the child sits idle for a long time, staring at one point, and cannot take up the lessons in any way, let him play for half an hour first, best of all on the street. Just keep in mind: the most simple at first glance computer and too active physical games are tiring. You should not sit down for them before doing homework.

Don't Forget Your Daily Routine

The daily routine is based on the correct alternation of various activities and rest during the day. It contributes to the normal development of children, their health, education of the will, accustoms to discipline.
Review your child's daily routine. And then it becomes clear that, firstly, he is not getting enough sleep. Student elementary school should sleep 9-10 hours (high school student - at least 8). The kid needs to be in the air for 2.5-3 hours, and the high school student - 2-2.5.
It is necessary to understand where the time goes: is the child wasting it? Maybe he sits in front of the TV and watches series with his grandmother? If we take sleep, a mandatory walk, add 2 hours for hygiene procedures, food, then we will understand that we will have to study and additional classes.
Much attention in the daily routine of the student should be given to nutrition. For normal physical and mental development, a properly organized diet (4-5 times) is important. The child should have dinner 1-1.5 hours before bedtime.
On weekends, the main elements of the daily routine (sleep, food, etc.) should remain the same as on weekdays, but at the same time, maximum time is devoted to being outdoors. On Saturday and Sunday, you need to let the child sleep. Children 7-10 years old should sleep at least 10-10.5 hours a day, teenagers - at least 8-9, otherwise their performance drops by 30%. Chronic lack of sleep, as well as mental fatigue, is the cause of neurosis and the accompanying irritability, rudeness, absent-mindedness. Excessive stress should be avoided, which can disrupt sleep and adversely affect the health of the student.
How carefully parents think over the daily routine of their child and try to implement it in life, this will positively affect all aspects of his life and health.

Distract yourself and distract the children

No matter how much attention you have to pay to your studies, be sure to distract yourself and distract your son or daughter. The monotony of school everyday life must be broken with bright events. Let your child go once a week to a disco, to a match, preferably on weekends, so that he can sleep the next day. Picking him up from school, go shopping on the way back, go to the exhibition, to the theater. Especially if the school is not all right. In order not to consider himself an eternal loser, the child must feel success in any other space: in an amateur theater, on a hockey rink, in an art studio. The experience of victories will help him withstand the blows of fate. Of course, one cannot insist on attending circles, enrolling a son or daughter there by force.
Although it is troublesome to deal with the structure of the school schedule, it is possible.
The climate is a thing beyond our control, and moving to warm countries is an unlikely way out for the majority. A short-term departure can only harm a sharp change in climatic conditions. Psychologists believe that a favorable atmosphere in the family is crucial in this situation.
If the situation is very difficult, then once a week, if necessary, you can allow the child not to go to school. (If he was not at school for no more than three days, a certificate from a doctor is not required, a note from his parents is enough that he felt unwell.).
Do not scold children for bad grades and lessons that were not learned once. Rest - catch up. Raising your voice is pointless. Especially to apply old-fashioned methods - a belt or cuffs. These means will not help the cause, but only more harm can be done. emotional state little man.
Help your child get rid of negative attitudes like “I can’t”, “doubt”, “should”, changing them to “I can”, “sure”, “I want”. Psychologists advise in these daily formulas to exclude negative particles “not” and opposing conjunctions (“but”, “a”). It is better to change them to “and”, “at the same time”, for example: “A difficult task, but I can handle it.” Do not refuse to help your son or daughter in solving difficult problems. Help with a leading question - it’s not difficult, but the child’s nerves will have goals, and it will take much less time to complete the lessons.
Help children overcome negative attitudes towards themselves. Never exclaim pathetically: "Everyone's children are like children, but mine! ..". You and your child must clearly know that he is the best for you. Let not the same as everyone else, but for you - the very best. Feel free to tell him about it.
Read more humorous stories, watch funny TV programs. A joke will set the mood. Laughter unifies and relieves stress.
And physiologists advise a diet enriched with vitamins and microelements. Let the child eat more fruits. As well as meat and fish: proteins stimulate the brain.
More outdoor games. Bright paintings and photographs improve your mood very well, even try to choose clothes in optimistic colors, certainly bright and warm tones.

The decision on when to dismiss schoolchildren on vacation in Russia is made by the educational institution itself. In accordance with the order of the Ministry of Education, the duration of vacations, their start and end dates are determined by the school. Only the total duration of study and vacation periods is regulated, allowing children to cope with the curriculum without "overloads":


  • the academic year for first-graders should last at least 33 weeks, for students of other classes - at least 34;

  • the period of summer rest for children is at least 8 weeks;

  • short vacations within the school year must total at least 30 days, and first grade students are allowed an extra week.

Despite the given freedom of choice, the majority of Russian educational institutions adhere to the traditional scheme, established back in Soviet time: four quarters, a week of rest in November, two - for the New Year holidays, another week - at the end of March. Regional education departments usually send out recommended vacation dates in advance of the start of the school year, but the final decision remains with the school administration.


Moscow is an exception. Here, vacation dates are the same and are set by the Metropolitan Department of Education for two options for the study schedule - traditional (quarter) and trimester (modular), when the year is divided into equal intervals and five weeks are followed by one vacation.


In the regions, the dates may vary slightly, but the vast majority of schools, gymnasiums and lyceums will have the same curriculum.

School year start and end dates

2017-2018 academic year traditionally starts September 1, on the Day of Knowledge. This year, the first week of school will be very short - the first day of autumn falls on the calendar on Friday, so that students will have the opportunity to smoothly move from rest to study.


The end date of the school year may be slightly shifted due to the peculiarities of the academic schedule. First on summer holidays will leave elementary grades- their school year is over May 22-24. Middle and high school students will study for a few days longer, for them the last day of school will be May 25-26. In Moscow schools that have chosen a modular mode of study, high school students will sit at their desks the longest - until the 31st.


9th and 11th grade students taking final exams will be exempted from study hassle in accordance with their exam schedule. The Unified State Examination and the OGE will begin in the last week of May and will run until the end of June.


graduation parties most will pass during the period from 23 to 25 May(they are not recommended to be held on June 22, on the Day of Remembrance and Sorrow), but if a student takes any exams on reserve days, his exam marathon can continue after receiving a certificate.

Fall break dates 2017

According to a long tradition, the autumn holidays in schools are held the first week of November. In Soviet times, they were "combined" with the celebration of the anniversary October revolution, now they fall on National Unity Day, celebrated on November 4th. In 2017, the holiday will be a Saturday, and due to the postponement of the holiday to Monday, November 6, adults will have a three-day mini-vacation. For schoolchildren, these days, of course, will also be "time off" - an extra day of rest will be "added" to the usual weekly duration of the November holidays.


In most Russian schools, the autumn holidays - 2017 will be held according to the following schedule:



  • duration– 8-9 days;


  • official start– October 30 (Monday) or the previous Sunday;


  • last day of rest– October 6 (Monday) or October 7 (Tuesday).

Winter holidays schedule at school in 2017-2018 academic year

The middle of the school year will traditionally be marked by a two-week period of winter rest timed to coincide with the celebration of the New Year and Christmas. This is perhaps the most significant vacation of the school year. If only because the January holiday decade in Russia is the only time when both adults and children are simultaneously freed from daily troubles for a long time and can plan quite long trips with the whole family. Therefore, it is especially important to find out the exact timing of the winter holidays in schools.


By tradition, schoolchildren are allowed to rest 3-4 days before the New Year, and they go “to the machine” almost simultaneously with adults - either on the same day or the next, and the period of the all-Russian weekend completely “fits” into children's holidays.


In the winter of 2017-2018, the “typical” school vacation schedule will be as follows:



  • duration- 14 days;


  • first day of rest– December 28 (Thursday);


  • last day of vacation– January 10 (Wednesday).

Additional holidays for first grade students - 2018

The third quarter is the longest and usually the most difficult for students. To "unload" the smallest, in February, first-grade students are given an extra week of rest. In addition, the February holidays are recommended for students correctional schools, and in some educational institutions in February even the entire “primary school” can rest - from 1 to.


The timing of additional holidays is the most variable, in some regions they are preferred to be held at the beginning of February, and in some - at the end of the month, on the week when Defender of the Fatherland Day is celebrated.


In 2018, the first classes will rest for either a week from 5 to 11 February(this option may be the most common), or from the 17th to the 25th.


School Spring Break Schedule 2018

The date for which spring break is “aspiring” is April 1. In the fourth quarter usually began on this day. In 2018, the first day of April will be Sunday. And in most schools, the rest schedule will be like this:



  • duration– 8-9 days,


  • vacation start– March 24 (Saturday) or March 25 (Sunday);


  • last day of rest- April 1 (Sunday).

In some schools, the schedule may be shifted a week ahead, and students will rest a week later, April 1st to 8th.

Official vacation schedule for Moscow schools: traditional and trimester (modular) modes of study

In the capital, vacation dates for the 2017-2018 academic year are dictated by a special order from the city's Department of Education. It was signed on 03/09/2017.


In accordance with the order in schools where children study on, holidays will be announced:



  • in October- from 1 to 8 number;


  • In November- from 5 to 12 (in fact, children will start resting a day earlier, November 4 is a general day off);


  • on New Year's holidays– from December 31 to January 10;


  • in February– from 18 to 25;


  • in April- from the 8th to the 15th.

In educational institutions of Moscow, working according to the "classical" system four quarters, the following vacation periods will be established:



  • autumn– from October 29 to November 6;


  • winter– from December 31 to January 10;


  • additional February– from 18 to 25 February;


  • spring- from 1 to 8 April.

How to find out the exact vacation dates for a child

Since the final decision on vacation dates is made by the school authorities, the dates of their start or end in different educational institutions may not coincide with the “average” schedule.


There are several ways to find out the vacation schedule at your school.


  1. Go to the official website of the school. By law, all "calendar" information must be contained there. As a rule, it is located in the "Organization of the educational process" or "Schedule" section.

  2. Look into the child. Vacation schedules may be posted in the announcement or parent information sections. But even if this is not the case, you can try to "scroll" the magazine for the period of the proposed vacation and "calculate" the exact dates - no lessons will be scheduled for them;

  3. ask class teacher child. The schedule is usually approved in the summer, sometimes even earlier. By the time the school “roll calls” are held, teachers usually already have this information.

  4. Call the reception and check the vacation dates with the secretary of the educational institution.

Relaxation - necessary condition to maintain health. But only a few have the right rest. Habit, laziness and an elementary inability to organize one’s own weekend. How to do this in order to have time to break away and restore your mental and physical strength?

Instruction

An option for lovers of a change of scenery, not constrained by financial circumstances. Why don't you sunbathe by the sea? After all, there are countries where it is hot all year round. It is better, of course, to choose what is closer so that less time is spent on acclimatization. A few hours by plane - and you are in another country by the gentle sea. As an option - to go to any European country in order to explore its sights, plunge into another world. True, for the EU countries a visa is required, so this will not work out spontaneously.

The second option is a trip out of town. Just not for the dacha. Forget about her nightmare. Go to the equestrian sports complex, ride horses, arrange for yourself. Or visit the base on the shore of a picturesque lake. Leave there right in the evening, and in the morning you will be awakened not by street noise or the ringing of an alarm clock, but by the singing of birds.

Option three - dedicate weekend yourself. Visit the spa, beauty parlor, hairdresser, massage therapist, solarium. The latter is especially true in winter, when the sun is objectively not enough. From the same series: gym, sauna or bath, . Swimming generally allows you to develop endurance. The more you swim, the less you get tired. After spending an hour in the pool, you will come out ready for an active holiday in weekend.

Again, take a trip, but not, but to an old Russian city, such as Suzdal or Novgorod. Touching the origins, restoring forgotten knowledge about your country, the opportunity to touch folk crafts will give additional source energy. But it is better to travel in comfort so that the trip does not turn into torment.

note

Warm days are coming. Everyone seeks to relax, unwind. The most frequent option is a weekend getaway in the suburbs. Rest in the suburbs on the weekends is not only a summer residence, it is also boarding houses and cottages, tents In general, a holiday for every color and taste. To understand the situation with recreation in the Moscow region, we asked those who are directly involved in this.

Useful advice

Where is the best place to relax on the weekend? The week is coming to an end, two days off ahead. How are we going to get through them? Even if you go to work with pleasure, doing what you love, you also need to relax. On your legal weekend, you should rest with maximum benefit without remorse for the time wasted aimlessly. Where is it better to relax and how to spend your weekend interesting?

In a day, a child manages to live a whole life filled with adventures, new acquaintances, study, games, research, quarrels and reconciliations. But even the most energetic and successful children need rest. And its proper organization is already the task of adults.

Instruction

Daily regime

For any person, the regime of the day is useful. It helps to eat on time, get enough sleep, work fruitfully and rest. For a child, the mode is useful. Children are not yet able to organize themselves. From complete permissiveness, irregular nutrition and sleep, they get tired very quickly, not only physically, but also emotionally. Naturally, there are situations when the regime has to be violated, for example, travel, illness or. But if this happens occasionally, it only adds colors and emotions to everyday, familiar life.

Best of all, the child restores strength in a dream. And if in infancy and then in kindergarten no one disputes the need for daytime sleep, then at school age, parents often dismiss it. However, most pediatricians agree that for elementary school student naps are very helpful. You don’t need to fill your child’s day with extra activities and circles. Just one pleasant hour in a well-ventilated room will inspire strength in a student who is tired after class. A well-slept, rested and calm student learns knowledge much easier than his nervous and overworked peers.

Leisure

Despite active promotion healthy lifestyle life and the introduction in schools of extra weekly preparation leaves much to be desired. Outdoor games, walks in the park and hikes in the forest are also recreation that a growing body needs like air. However, the vast majority prefer playing football in the yard. You need to teach your child to exercise from a very early age, literally after he learns to walk. But if you yourself sit in front of the TV for whole evenings, and the offer to take a walk in the evening causes you bewilderment, it is naive to expect success in sports from your child.

Tip 4: What will be the schedule of school holidays in the 2016-2017 academic year

V last years the schedule of school holidays has become “floating”: they no longer have exact dates set once and for all, and every year their dates are slightly shifted. What does it depend on, and what will be the vacation schedule for the 2016-2017 academic year?

What affects vacation time?

According to modern Russian laws, there is no unified schedule of school holidays in the country: in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Education schools has the right to independently establish a schedule for the rest of children, the number of short holidays and their duration. The only exception is Moscow, where all schoolchildren study and rest according to one of two schedules: the traditional one, when the academic year is divided into four quarters, and the modular one (five weeks of study and one rest) and for each option, uniform vacation periods are established.


In other regions of Russia, educational authorities usually issue recommendations in which they suggest that educational institutions set the dates for the start and end of vacations, leaving the final decision “at the mercy” of the school administration.


Vacations are recommended to start on Monday (so that the weekend "pluses" them), which allows not "" school weeks into parts and increase the duration of uninterrupted rest for schoolchildren. The exact duration of the holidays is also not regulated - as a rule, 30-35 days are allotted for rest during the academic year, which allows you to fully fulfill academic plan by the end of May.


Despite such freedom, most Russian schools have a conservative approach to the issue of determining the schedule of school holidays - as a result, most of the country's schoolchildren have a rest at the same time.


What will be the vacation dates in the 2016-2017 academic year in most Russian schools?

Fall break dates 2016


Autumn holidays are traditionally held in early November and fall on the week in which Russians celebrate National Unity Day (November 4).


In 2016 autumn holidays will start on October 31(Monday) and will last until the end of the week, until November 6 (Sunday). Second academic quarter will start November 7th. Thus, in schools where it is a school day, schoolchildren will rest for 8 days, students for five days - 9.


However, National Unity Day this year falls on a Friday. Therefore, in some schools, the start date of the autumn holidays-2016 can be set on November 7, which will increase the duration of the holidays by adding a holiday to them. In this case, students will have a rest until November 13, and the duration of the rest will be 10 days.

Schedule of winter school holidays 2016-2017


The winter school holidays that fall on the New Year holidays and separate the second quarter from the third are especially loved by schoolchildren - they are the longest of all "intra-annual" ones. In addition, they coincide with the all-Russian holiday period for adults, which allows families to spend time together, including when traveling. Therefore, the timing of the winter holidays, as a rule, is of particular concern to the parents of schoolchildren.


Winter holidays for schoolchildren they begin on the last Monday of December. In 2016-2017, the "start" will be quite early - the last Monday of the month falls on number 26(that is, schoolchildren will begin to rest from Sunday, December 25th). Children will have time to properly prepare for the main holiday of winter. True, the New Year's holiday will end earlier than usual - on January 8th.


The third, longest academic quarter starts on January 9, on Monday - it is on this day that schoolchildren will have to sit down at their desks again.

Terms of additional holidays for first graders


The third quarter is especially difficult for first-graders - they are not yet accustomed to the traditional school schedule, and therefore, in the middle of the third quarter, "special" holidays are arranged for them. To the envy of all other schoolchildren, they rest at the end of February for a whole week.


In 2016-2017 academic year additional holidays will start on February 20 and will last until the 26th, coinciding with the celebration of Defender of the Fatherland Day.


In the same period, students of correctional schools will also have a rest - they are also subject to the rule on additional vacations.

Spring School Break Dates - 2017


Spring break most often fall on the last week of March. The 2016-2017 academic year will be no exception.


Schoolchildren will be dismissed for vacation on Monday, March 27- and they will rest for one week, until April 2. Taking into account Sunday, the duration of the March rest will be 8 days with a six-day training period, and 9 days with a five-day training regime.


April 3rd will be the first day of the fourth quarter. It will last until the end of May (depending on the school, the academic year in all grades except 9 and 11 ends between May 21 and 31), after which schoolchildren will have three months of summer vacation.

Vacation schedule in 2016-2017 with the modular training mode "5 + 1"

In those schools in Moscow where the parents of students have chosen not the classical schedule of study with the division of the academic year into four quarters, but the modular scheme "five weeks of study - one week of rest", holidays in 2016-2017 will take place at the following dates:


  • from October 3 to October 9;

  • from November 14 to November 20;

  • from December 31 to January 8;

  • from February 20 to February 26;

  • from 10 April to 16 April.

Vacation schedule for quarters in Moscow schools

Pupils of Moscow schools, where the educational process is organized according to the traditional “four quarters” scheme, will have a rest in the 2016-2017 academic year in the same way as most schoolchildren in the country:



  • autumn vacation from October 31 to November 6;


  • winter holidays from December 26 to January 8;


  • holiday from March 27 to April 2;


  • additional holidays for the first classes - from 20 to 26 February.


How to find vacation dates at your school

As already mentioned, the exact vacation schedule in each particular school in Russia (excluding Moscow) is determined by the administration of the educational institution and may differ from the generally accepted one.


Therefore, in order to accurately plan the child's vacation, you need to clarify the dates at your school. This can be done in various ways:



  • Check with your class teacher or secretary. At the beginning of the school year, the vacation schedule has already been approved, and the exact dates are known to all school staff (teachers prepare work programs in subjects for the school year based on this information).


  • View on the school website. Information about the dates of the beginning and end of the academic year, as well as the vacation schedule should be in the section on the organization of the educational process.


  • If the school uses an electronic diary system- the schedule of school holidays for 2016-2017 can also be viewed in it. Even if the school administration does not inform parents about the dates for the start and end of studies, by scrolling through the magazine forward, you can see until what date the classes are planned to be held.

  • School holidays 2015-2016

Public holidays in 2017 are set by the Government of the Russian Federation. Many Russians like to spend extra non-working days on trips and other recreation. In order to plan your vacation, it is advisable to find out in advance about those days when you do not need to work according to the law.

There are two public holidays in 2017. Therefore, the days off - January 1 and 7, which coincide with non-working holidays, officials propose to postpone to February 24 and May 8.

December 31 is a public holiday in 2016

In 2016, Russians will have a small New Year's surprise - on December 31, when everyone will prepare to meet the New Year 2017, it will become officially non-working. But do not relax too much, since such a New Year's holiday awaits our compatriots only in 2017 and is not expected on an ongoing basis.

During the New Year holidays this year it will be possible to relax from December 31, 2016 to January 08, 2017.

Also, in winter, the Russians will be able to relax for another 4 days. The celebration of the men's holiday will stretch from 23 to 26 February.

Public holidays in spring 2017

Women, unlike men, got only one day to celebrate their holiday - March 8, which falls on Wednesday. Therefore, the female half will not be able to completely relax, because the day after March 8 will be working.

But summer residents and lovers of short-term trips abroad were pleased by the officials in May. During the May holidays, there will be two "working holidays" - from April 29 to May 1 and from May 6 to May 9.

Summer holidays in 2017

In summer, the Russians have only 3 additional days for rest - from June 10 to 12. The reason for the additional weekend in the summer is a public holiday - the Day of Russia.

Autumn holidays in 2017

Traditionally, in honor of the holiday of national unity in Russia - November 04, an additional day off is provided. It will be possible to celebrate this holiday from 4 to 6 November.

Advice 6: What will be the calendar of holidays in Russia in 2017

In 2017, Russians are waiting for relatively short (nine-day) new year holidays, but the number of "long weekends" will increase. The country is waiting for four-day rest periods in February and May and three "enhanced" three-day weekends in April, June and November; however, “working Saturdays” are not expected in 2017.

How we will relax on New Year's holidays in 2017

Long winter holidays for Russians have already become commonplace: until 2004, inclusive, only the 1st and 2nd were non-working days, and starting from 2005, the general celebration of the New Year and Christmas continues in the country from 8 to 12 days, depending on which days of the week correspond to public holidays.

In 2017 New Year holidays in Russia will be relatively short: they will last only 9 days, starting on December 31, 2016 (Saturday) and ending on Sunday, January 8. In fact - one working week plus the weekend attached to it.

The first working day in January will be the ninth. On the same day, school winter holidays will end. Children studying in the traditional "four quarters" scheme will begin to rest a week earlier than adults, from Sunday, December 25; in schools where periods of study and rest alternate according to the “5 + 1” system, the time of winter rest for children will be the same as for their parents - the first week of January.

In accordance with the laws of the country, if holidays coincide with weekends, the day of rest must be "compensated" by moving the holiday to some other day during the year. In 2017, the Ministry of Labor proposed two January holidays to "combine" them as follows:

  • January 1 (Sunday) - February 24 (Friday),
  • January 7 (Saturday) - May 8 (Monday).

Postponement of the weekend to February 23

The celebration of Defender of the Fatherland Day in 2017 falls on a Thursday. Due to the additional day off, postponed from January 1, this holiday joins the following days off.

Thus, before the "men's holiday" the Russians will have a record short working week for 2017 (two full working days plus a shortened pre-holiday Wednesday), while rest on February 23 in Russia there will be four days in a row:

  • February 23, Thursday - the actual holiday;
  • February 24, Friday - day off, postponed from January 1;
  • February 25 and 26, Saturday and Sunday are regular days off.

How to relax on March 8, 2017 in Russia

International Women's Day in 2017 became the only public holiday observed during the working week. March 8 falls on a Wednesday, and there are no transfers of days off for this period.

Therefore, the congratulations of women on the holiday will take place strictly "to the day", and the working week will be divided into two two-day working periods with one day off between them. The only relief is March 7, on the holiday day you can still leave work early (it is reduced by one hour).

Weekend transfers to the May holidays - 2017

May is the busiest month with holidays, it also falls on the Day of Spring and Labor and celebrations dedicated to Victory Day. In 2017, the "first of May" will be three days, and on May 9, the country is waiting for a four-day mini-vacation.

Holiday May 1 in 2017 falls on a Monday, naturally adjacent to the previous weekend. In this way, Rest on Spring and Labor Day in Russia will be three days in a row, from Saturday 29 April to 1 May. This will be followed by a shortened four-day work week, which will be replaced by another period of general rest from work and study.

Holiday May 9 according to the calendar falls on Tuesday. At the same time, the “Christmas” day off, which fell on January 7, was moved to Monday. In this way on the anniversary of the Victory in 2017 in Russia they rest four days in a row- starting from Saturday (May 6) and ending on Tuesday.

How we relax in June 2017 on the Day of Russia

The only public holiday in the summer months in the country is June 12, when Russia Day is celebrated. In 2017, this date will fall on a Monday, and there will be no postponement of holidays during this period.

In this way, June holidays will last three days- from 10 to 12 (from Saturday to Monday).

How will we rest on November 4

On November 4, Russia solemnly celebrates National Unity Day, which replaced the November holidays of the Soviet era.

In 2017, this day falls on a Saturday. In such cases, in Russia, the day off is usually transferred to the Monday following the public holiday. This will happen this year as well. In this way, November holidays-2017 in Russia will also last three days- from Saturday to Monday, from the 4th to the 6th.

Tip 7: How to relax on New Year 2017: weekends and January holidays

With the approach of winter, Russians begin to worry about a completely reasonable question: how do we relax on New Year's Eve 2017? This time, the location of the dates is quite convenient, so there will be more than enough time to celebrate the New Year, rest and entertainment.

January 1 of the New Year 2017 - Sunday. With this festive day, everything is quite clear. People will traditionally celebrate the New Year with family or friends, and some will sleep off and just relax after a stormy New Year's Eve from 31st to 1st. It is worth noting that according to the eastern calendar, 2017 is the year of the Red Fire Rooster, so bright red shades should be present in festive outfits and jewelry. Astrologers predict that the coming year can be difficult in all plans, so it is important to meet it joyfully, with a positive attitude and faith in the best.

Weekends and January holidays for the New Year 2017 will continue from January 2 to January 8. And again, disputes about the advisability of such a long New Year's vacation still do not subside. Russians of mature age still remember the times when they officially rested only on January 1 and 2. According to surveys, most people have nothing to do after meeting the holiday. In addition, the country's production and economy have been almost completely idle for a whole week, which affects them negatively. The government is discussing the possibility of postponing part of the New Year holidays to the first week of May in order to provide Russians with more comfortable conditions for recreation, but the question is still open.

On January 7, Orthodox Russians will celebrate the great church holiday of the Nativity of Christ. This day is loved by almost all people, including those who have atheistic views. Who does not like to gather at the table with family, relatives and loved ones, congratulate each other and exchange pleasant gifts? In addition, in recent years, Russian folk Christmas traditions have been actively revived, for example, carols, which are very popular with children and young people. Thus, the next long-awaited days off and January holidays will come very soon, and in order for them to become interesting and memorable, it is worth preparing for such an event in advance.

Before the New Year comes, many people ask themselves how many working days and days of rest await us, which holidays will be postponed or combined.

The next 2017 will not be a leap year, that is, we are waiting for 365 days. Which of the days will be working and public holidays?

It is required to make calendar calculations. We expect 247 days of work, and 118 days of rest. It turns out that in the coming year, we will work 2 times more intensively and more. For those who work on a six-day schedule, there will be 299 working days, and holiday 66.

According to the five-day period, there will be 118 days off, 14 of which are officially established holidays, and 108 are calendar days off. In 2017, the New Year holidays will be the longest, and the day of going to work will fall on January 9th.

On January 4 and 5, as usual, you can rest, as well as on February 23 and March 8. The May holidays remind us that we have two days off - the Spring Festival and Victory Day, and November 4 is National Unity Day. Holidays fall on January 1-8, March 8-10, May 1-4 and 9-11, June 12-15.

This year does not have many days off, however, and during the holidays there will be a little time to spend it with family and friends. The future 2017 promises to be difficult and fruitful, so you should immediately plan your holiday pastime. In this case, you will be able to fruitfully use all the opportunities to gain strength for new labor achievements.

Since 2013, a law has come into force that allows educational institutions Russia, at its own discretion, organize the educational process and decide on an individual basis how many vacations should be in the academic year. But is it right? How to accurately and evenly distribute the load on students? How many times a year is best for schoolchildren to relax, MedAboutMe figured out.

Quarters or trimesters: who sets the holidays?

In Russia, the law "On Education", which provides for the number of vacation days in the academic year, gives educational institutions the right to choose. There are practically no restrictions, although a mandatory rule has been established - school students must rest for at least 30 days during the year.

The vacation schedule for each individual school is drawn up on an individual basis, as a rule, by the director of the institution. The workload of children, the number of students, the location of the school (distance from large settlements) and many other facts. In practice, such a schedule very rarely contradicts the recommendations of a higher governing body. Not everyone wants to change their usual study schedule.

The new academic year 2016-2017 provides for two different calendars, schoolchildren "live" either in quarters or in trimesters. Taking into account the advice of the Ministry of Education, educational institutions establish an individual vacation schedule.

For the third year in a row, everyone can refuse the system of quarters that is familiar to many former and current students. Russian school. The academic year is now divided into three full trimesters, each of which lasts from 10 to 12 weeks.

  • I trimester ends on 18.11.
  • II trimester - 23.02.
  • III trimester - 31.05.

Today, schools in the UK, Russia and some US states work on this principle.

Among the advantages of training in trimesters, it is worth highlighting:

  • Frequent vacations, which certainly affects not only the performance of children, but also their health. Pupils (especially in the lower grades) get tired quickly due to an intense and tough study schedule. Regular rest is a great way to recuperate. Educators in those schools that already work on the principle of trimesters are increasingly saying that educational innovations only positively affect educational process and development of children. Trimesters allow you to exclude the third protracted quarter, for which neither teachers nor students have enough strength.
  • Trimesters are longer than quarters, and this is a huge plus for certification, because for such a long period the teacher has the opportunity to analyze the knowledge of each student. Everyone gets their grades.
  • As for health, according to statistical calculations, there is a positive trend. Schoolchildren spend almost all the peak periods of the incidence of acute respiratory infections at home, because the second trimester ends at the end of February, and the autumn holidays begin in October.

Negative sides: cons of training in trimesters

Allocate today and the disadvantages of training in trimesters:

  • Vacations that start in the middle of the trimester often leave you feeling unfinished. The children did not have time to tune in to study and enter into a rhythm, as they “go” to rest again.
  • Holidays at school rarely coincide with holidays at art schools. Children attending circles cannot fully relax, because it seems that they don’t need to go to school, but extra education continues.
  • The more holidays the children have, the more "headache" the busy parents have. The problem with the child's leisure always remains relevant, especially if both mom and dad work.


In the event that the school schedule provides for quarters, then all holidays are divided into such periods:

  • End of October - beginning of November (9 days).
  • 14 days for the New Year holidays (the last days in December and the first 10 in January).
  • 1 week in the spring (most often - the end of March).
  • 3 months in summer.

This vacation schedule most often coincides with weekends in art schools and music studios. After each quarter, the students go, as it were, to a well-deserved rest with a finished certification and a feeling of some kind of completeness.

To some extent, it is beneficial for schools to follow the generally established rules, because most often cultural institutions work, focusing on the fourth system. The classic vacation calendar provides more opportunities for organizing children's leisure.

But quarters also have their downsides. Schoolchildren get very tired during the long term, and get sick more. The outbreak of acute respiratory infections falls on the most protracted third quarter.

The holidays of the 2016-2017 academic year are lined up according to their plan even before September 1, as a rule, at the School Council. What exactly an educational institution chooses depends on numerous factors, including the internal routine of the school. But psychologists and other experts, taking into account practice, say that children like the trimester education system more. The students get the impression that they are resting much more.

As for teachers, over the past few years they have increasingly preferred quarters. Under the trimester system, children, just starting to study, go on vacation. You have to think over and apply additional methods of quick motivation when you go to school, which is not always possible.

It is best for parents to choose the education system that suits their children. If there are several children in the family, and they study in different educational institutions, then it is very beneficial that the rest periods coincide. This option will help moms and dads easily build a routine that will favor healthy learning.

As a result, as practice shows, both education systems give their positive results, if, of course, education is organized at the proper level.

  • In the 19th century in the United States of America, schoolchildren did not have summer holidays. Such rest (as in the modern sense) simply did not exist. Children from rural areas left their studies for the time of harvest, and students living in cities rested 7 days after every 3 months of study. V late XIX century was introduced new system education, providing schoolchildren with the same time for rest, which significantly helped to reduce their fatigue.
  • In Japan, children start school in April. The academic year consists of trimesters. The first one ends on July 20, after which the students go on summer holidays. The second trimester starts on September 1st and ends on December 31st. And the third - from January to March.
  • In the Czech Republic, summer holidays last only 2 months. Children have a rest only in winter and summer.
  • School holidays in Germany are short compared to Russia. In addition, each federal state has its own vacation schedule for schoolchildren.

Vacation schedule in schools, universities and secondary institutions vocational education in Moscow are approved individually for each educational institution by its director, rector or other person responsible for making decisions. In practice, the vacation schedule rarely differs from the recommendations of a higher authority.

Russian schools live according to two educational "calendars": quarters and trimesters. Depending on this, as well as focusing on the recommendations of the Ministry of Education, educational institutions themselves determine the dates of holidays. In general, it is beneficial for the school to adhere to the generally established framework, since general holidays mean more opportunities for organizing high-quality children's leisure: performances, excursions, concerts, etc.

Holidays in schools with a quarterly education system

Those who study in quarters have holidays four times a year - autumn, winter, spring and summer.

– 2019 academic year

Of these, the dates of the autumn holidays at the end of October and the beginning of November are less stable: the date of their end depends on the Day of National Unity, which is celebrated on November 4. So, for example, the autumn holidays of 2018 will not last traditionally from Monday to Sunday, but one more day due to the postponement of the day off. That is from October 27th to November 5th.

New Year holidays 2018–2019 academic year

New Year holidays, as a rule, begin from the last week of December and end on the 10th of January. Students go to school on Monday. Winter holidays in 2018/2019 academic year will be extended from December 30th to January 8th. First-graders will also have additional vacations in the winter * - from 16 to 25 February.

Spring break 2019 academic year

The situation with holidays in the spring is much simpler - the dates do not depend on the holidays. Spring break is in the last week of March and the first week of April. In 2019, schoolchildren will have a rest March 23 to March 31.

Summer holidays 2019 academic year

Summer holidays will start as usual - from the last Monday of May. In 2019, it falls on the 27th. In this way, from May 27 to September 1 schoolchildren are waiting for three happy months free from lessons.

* For students of the first grades and classes of correctional and developmental education.

In addition to scheduled holidays, classes at the school may be canceled for the following reasons:
