Holidays - periods of rest from study for schoolchildren.

In Moscow, the vacation schedule is set by the city Department of Education. It is the same for all schools.

The winter vacation

The period of winter school holidays depends on the system of education that is adopted at the school.

Students in quarters have a rest in the winter once: in late December - early January. Holidays last 10-14 days. First graders receive an extra one-week winter holiday in February.

Students in trimesters have a rest in winter twice: in late December - early January and in February. The first vacation lasts 10-14 days, the second - a week.

About when the autumn holidays at schools in Russia in 2018, as well as when the holidays for schoolchildren in 2019 - read the TopNews material.

When are the holidays for schoolchildren in 2018 in autumn in Russia?

Holidays are the most favorite time for students. And even those who left the walls of the school a long time ago remember the times of rest with a cheerful smile. Both students and their parents are waiting for a break in the educational process, but the autumn ones - the very first - are waiting with special impatience.

Many students, and their parents as well, notice that in different educational institutions the autumn holidays fall on different intkbbee time. The reason for this discrepancy is the learning process adopted in each particular school. The academic year can be divided either into four parts - quarters, or three - trimesters. At the end of each part, there must be a short break. The 2018-2019 academic year is no exception.

When is the autumn break for quarterly schools

As a rule, in institutions with a quarter system of education, the first holidays fall in October, most often in the last week of the month. The autumn holidays 2018-2019 will not be an exception - the rest will begin on October 29. But with the start date of the second quarter, some questions may arise.

The fact is that during the autumn holidays of the 2018-2019 academic year, National Unity Day falls - an important public holiday, and therefore a general day off. It is celebrated on November 4, Sunday. According to the law on the transfer of holidays, the day after the holiday will be a day off - Monday, November 5th. Thus, the holidays are extended for another day, and instead of seven days, schoolchildren will rest for eight whole days. And if we add to this the official weekend before the start of the holiday - Saturday October 27 (if the school has a five-day period) and Sunday October 28, then schoolchildren will have a rest in the fall for nine or even ten days.

Holidays at school for the 2018-2019 academic year by trimester calendar

Nevertheless, we can, of course, outline the approximate scope of the holidays. If any of the schools chooses a different timetable, it will in any case not differ from the one given by us by more than a week.

So, if the school works in quarters, then the holidays fall on the period from October 29 to November 5. Given that October 29 is Monday, the actual vacation will begin on October 27 or 28, depending on whether the children study on Saturday.

Recall that Monday, November 5, will be a day off due to the national holiday, which falls on the 4th.

If the school uses trimesters, then the autumn holidays will divide the school year twice:

• from 8 to 14 October,
• from 19 to 25 November.

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

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

• autumn - from October 27 to November 5, 2018;
• winter - from 12/26/2018 to 01/08/2019;
• spring - from 23 to 31 March 2019

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

National Unity Day in 2018 falls on 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 days off (October 27 and 28) - 9-10 days. During this time, students will be able to have a good rest, visit museums and theaters, go to the cinema and spend time with their parents and friends.

Autumn holidays for the modular learning system

Holidays with a modular system are calculated according to the following scheme: training - 5-6 weeks, then rest - 7 days. Children take the following breaks in their studies:

• in autumn 2018, these days fall on October 7-13 and November 18-24;
• in winter - from 12/29/2018 to 01/08/2019 and February 18-24;
• spring 2019 - April 8-14.
• summer holidays - from June 1 to August 31.

Vacation schedule 2018-2019 for schoolchildren by trimesters

The training schedule for trimesters is quite simple - students according to such a system spend 5 weeks in class, after which the 6th week is a vacation. The result is the following school trimester dates for 2018-2019:

• 1st trimester: September 1, 2018 - October 6, 2018;
• 1 autumn holidays - from 7 to 14 October 2018
• 2nd trimester: October 14, 2018 - November 17, 2018;
• 2 autumn holidays - from 18 to 24 November

• 5th trimester: February 25, 2019 - April 5, 2019;
• Spring Break - April 6, 2019 to April 14, 2019
• 6th trimester: April 15, 2019 - May 31, 2019.
• Summer holidays - from June 1 to August 31, 2019.

Children rested four times a year and the longest holidays are summer, three months of freedom. in Moscow: the table helps everyone to check, because now the schedule “floats” every year.

There is probably no child in the country who does not anxiously follow the calendar, counting how many weeks are left before the holidays. Teachers also do not let them forget, it is important for them that the children pass the "tails" before the rest and work out all the passes. After all, at the end of the quarter, everyone receives a final grade. Therefore, subject teachers appoint control shortly before the holidays. True, a few years ago the schedule was constant and approved, both teachers and students with their parents knew it. But now he "floats" every year. Why is this happening and when to plan a vacation for children in 2017?

Reasons for the new "floating" schedule

Modern Russian laws speak directly - there is no approved, unified schedule for school classes and holidays. The Ministry gave schools the right to independently plan the number of days of rest and classes for children. How long will short periods of vacation last, how much to rest in the summer. Like all extracurricular activities, such as summer work.

Parents need to know one thing: when choosing a school for a child, find out what system they teach there. Traditional, where there are four quarters in a year and, accordingly, they rest as all schoolchildren used to do, or modular (when children study for five weeks and rest for one). Holidays 2016-2017 academic year in Moscow: each option has its own table, respectively, and clear dates for the upcoming holidays are set. This is the situation in Moscow itself. Each year, the educational authorities transmit written recommendations to the regions, where the dates of the duration of the holidays are set. But these are only recommendations, not clear orders. The final decision rests with the school administration.

After that, the last, final quarter will begin on April 3. Usually teachers remind the children that this is the last push and you need to try to get good annual grades. It does not last long, traditionally until May (the school administration itself decides when the last of the school days comes, because then some extracurricular activities may be planned for the last call and you need to agree on the time for preparation), but usually the end of the school year falls on the period from May 21 until May 31, after which the guys will be released for three whole months.

Training schedule for modular schools with the "5 + 1" mode

This recently adopted innovation, along with the Western example of teaching, where children in some gymnasiums study as students and rest only a couple of times a year, is practiced by some schools. Usually, parents find out in advance the features of the educational process of the chosen school and the holidays of the 2016-2017 academic year in Moscow: the table in modular schools will be as follows:

Autumn first October 3 to October 9;
autumn second November 14 to November 20;
winter first December 31 to January 8;
winter second February 20 to February 26;
spring April 10 to April 16.

With such a schedule, you can also plan a joint vacation with your child, as well as all his extracurricular activities. So schoolchildren can rest more often and the educational process is divided into smaller layers than their comrades from traditional educational institutions.

Schedule for schoolchildren for all quarters

Moscow schools, where the process is organized in the usual way and is divided into the usual 1 quarters, the guys will rest as follows:

Autumn October 31 - November 6;
winter December 26-January 8;
spring March 27 - April 2;
summer (May 21-31) - September 1;
and additional holidays (for first-graders) on February 20-26.

Moreover, the latter was introduced recently, noting how difficult the educational process is for the smallest, who went to kindergarten last year.

Who can check the school timetable?

It is clear that there is no single schedule approved for all, and each school (gymnasium, closed institution, college) is forced to set its own work schedule. Therefore, it is impossible to find out exact information on the website of the Ministry of Education on vacation dates. Parents are usually notified of the new schedule at a meeting on September 1st or later when the parent committee meets for the first or second time. Holidays 2016-2017 academic year in Moscow: the table is sometimes posted on the bulletin board below and then it is available to everyone. But if this is not the case, you can find out your child's schedule in different ways:

Visit the website of your school - yes, now many schools (not only private schools and gymnasiums) have their own websites. It contains the address of the institution, the full name, all the awards and features of the curriculum, and of course, the schedule. It is updated annually.
if your school uses a system of new electronic diaries through which parents can find out all the grades of their child. It contains not only the comments of teachers, but also the schedule of the year. Sometimes teachers do not notify parents about the schedule, but they do fill out diaries.

Holidays 2016-2017 academic year in Moscow: a table on the school website or in an electronic diary is available for download.

Winter holidays in schools begin a few days before the new year and last approximately 14 days.

The start date of the holidays in the regions can be determined independently, as well as the start date of the holidays largely depends on the decision of the management of the school itself.

In 2016, schoolchildren will go on vacation mainly from December 29 (in some schools the date is December 26).

The winter vacation.

In schools, the winter holidays will begin as usual before the new year and will last at least 14 days.

In 2016, the winter holidays should begin on December 26, respectively, they will last until January 8, 2017.

In 2016-2017 academic year, as in the past, all schools have winter holidays. They usually fall on New Year's holidays and.

The administration of each school has the right to decide independently the start date of the holidays, usually the difference is a week.

But in our area this issue has already been resolved. the beginning of the winter holidays on December 29, and the end - on January 10 (Tuesday) - we go to school.

In different cities of Russia, the terms of the winter holidays are somewhat different.

For example, in Moscow, according to the order of the City Department of Education On the organization of the educational process for the main general education programs in the 2016-2017 academic year, holidays in general education schools will begin on December 26, 2016 and will last until January 8, 2017. Additionally, holidays for first-graders will be organized from February 20 to February 26, 2017.

In St. Petersburg, the terms of the winter holidays for the 2016-2017 academic year are set by the Education Committee. Winter holidays will begin later than in Moscow, on December 29, 2016, but they will also last longer - until January 11, 2017. Petersburgers will go to school on January 12. For first-graders in St. Petersburg, every academic year in February there are additional winter holidays lasting one week. In 2016-2017, they are also provided from February 6 to February 12, 2017.



At our school, winter holidays will begin on December 26, 2016, and end on January 9, 2017, children will go to school on January 10, 2017.

But these dates are not yet final, as weather forecasters say that this year's winter will be very cold, which may be below 20 degrees, and in such cases the holidays are extended.

Winter holidays this year will begin on December 28 and will last until January 10. But this is in general, and in particular, each school will set dates on its own, and the director of the school will deal with this issue. So the dates may shift, but not by much, by one or two days. After all, it is impossible to foresee such things as the flu epidemic and other unexpected circumstances. But you still need to run the program.

In each city, the start and end dates of holidays are set by the Department of Education. We have for 2016-2017. winter holidays will be established from December 26, 2016 to January 8, 2017.

On January 9, 2017, classes will begin for schoolchildren. For elementary school students, additional holidays are provided in February for a week. In addition, if the winter is cold, as forecasters promise, and frosts are below -20 degrees, then perhaps the children will receive additional holidays.

Now the school itself determines the timing of the holidays. The main thing is that the total number of vacation days (except for the summer holidays) should be 30. At my daughter's school, at the parent meeting, they announced that the autumn holidays would be from October 29 to November 6. And the winter holidays will begin on December 29 and end on January 10.

The usual duration of the longest school holidays during the school year - winter - is at least 2 weeks. This is usually the week before the New Year and the week after the New Year. The last week of vacation is exciting too.

For the 2016-2017 academic year, the New Year holidays for schoolchildren begin on Monday, December 26 and will last until Monday, January 9, inclusive.

On Tuesday, January 10, 2017, a new academic quarter (or trimester, semester - as is customary in which school) will begin for schoolchildren.

The favorite time of all schoolchildren is the holidays, and the summer months come first in this regard. After all, we are talking about 90 days of complete freedom from study, constant homework and the need to get up for the first lesson. But there is another time no less expected by children - the winter holidays, during which everyone's favorite Christmas holidays take place. Since the government of the Russian Federation annually sets a new start and end date for this magical time, you should find out in advance exactly when it is worth waiting for the New Year holidays in 2018.

The long-awaited time

An important detail of the issue under consideration is the correspondence of the New Year holidays in schools with a trimester and quarter system of education. Such a long-awaited time partly corresponds to an extended weekend in honor of the New Year. It is at this time that not only schoolchildren can take a break from the constant educational need - adults also have an additional two weeks of “vacation”. Do you know what that means? Every Russian family has the opportunity to enjoy the holidays together. Perhaps that is why the announced period is considered the most long-awaited and unforgettable.

Unfortunately, at the moment there is no exact schedule for the winter holidays for the student, since the Ministry of Education usually resolves this issue a few weeks before the start of the new school year.

Nevertheless, with a regular calendar at hand, you can try to make a tentative winter vacation schedule.

In addition, it is easy to compare a similar time period with last year's version, so that the calculations are more plausible.

Winter timetable

Finding out how many days schoolchildren have New Year holidays in 2018, it is worth making the following assumptions. According to preliminary information, the future New Year holidays will start on December 25, 2017 and will continue until January 9 of the next one. By the way, additional time is allocated for junior classes for a full-fledged winter holiday - from February 19 to February 25. As a result, they will have to go to school on January 10, but only if the officials do not make their changes to the announced schedule. Otherwise, the new academic quarter and trimester will begin on January 9th.

Not so long ago, the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation prepared a special proposal, which refers to the possibility of postponing the winter holidays in 2018.

If such a project is approved by the deputies of the State Duma, the Russians will be able to fully celebrate the long-awaited Christmas time for only 10 days - from December 30 to January 8.

According to the announced transfer of holidays, the situation may look like this: January 6 and 7 are planned to be moved to March 9 and May 12. The government also wants to replace Saturdays on April 28, June 9 and December 29 (2018), with Mondays April 30, June 11 and December 31. It turns out that the following time periods will become additional days off for schoolchildren:

• December 30–January 8 – 10 days;
• February 23-25 ​​- 3 days;
• March 8-11 - 4 days;
• April 28–May 2 – 4 days;
• June 10-12 - 3 days;
• November 2–5 – 3 days.

For the working class, this time is also considered desirable and expected, moreover, according to the current legislation, before the holidays, the working day should be reduced by 1 hour.

By the way, if someone did not know, it is Russia that is considered the country least of all “accustomed to work” - it has the largest number of non-working days and days off for all 12 months.

If the educational process of schoolchildren takes place in trimesters, the date of the New Year's weekend will be slightly different. So it was before. Now it is possible to combine both study options for more convenience for parents.

So, how we relax on New Year's Eve, it is clear how long this time will last, too. It remains only to wait for the end of the summer to find out the exact schedule for the beginning and end of this wonderful winter season, filled with holiday surprises, pleasant surprises and bright fun.
