The first month of the next school year is coming to an end in Russian schools. Schoolchildren have managed to get involved in the educational process after the summer holidays, but many of them, of course, are counting the days until the next holidays. Let's find out when the autumn holidays will be in the 2017-2018 school year, whether it is possible to name the exact dates when the autumn holidays will begin, what features there are in establishing the school holiday period.

Autumn holidays at school in 2017: what date does it start from?

Most Russian schools use the same system of organizing the school year that existed in Soviet education. Four quarters: two before the new year and two after it, which are separated by autumn, winter and spring holidays. In such schools, accordingly, there are only autumn holidays.

Schoolchildren who study in educational institutions that use a different system, the trimester system, rest twice in the autumn. Trimester divides academic year not into four parts, but into three, but at the same time, schoolchildren have no fewer vacations, but on the contrary, more. A week of rest divides the trimester in half, and another week completes the trimester.

As for what date the autumn holidays begin in Russian schools in 2017, then, accordingly, the date depends on what system of organization educational process used by one school or another.

Trimesters in schools are still rather an exception; there are relatively many such schools except in Moscow. For most Russian schools, traditional autumn holidays after the first quarter are more relevant.

As you can see, the dates are quite approximate, which is due to the fact that Russian legislation has not set the dates for school holidays for a long time. Usually everything is decided at the level of the region, city, and sometimes even a specific school. For example, the Moscow Department of Education, by its order, established autumn holidays in schools for the period from October 29 to November 6, 2017. In St. Petersburg, the local education committee has set dates from October 30 to November 7.

Formally, the difference is not so great, but in fact, since October 29 is a Sunday, St. Petersburg schoolchildren will have a longer vacation.

Autumn holidays will take place on approximately the same dates in other Russian schools; the discrepancy is unlikely to be significant. As you can see, school holidays overlap with the three-day mini-vacation in November for adults in connection with the 4th November holiday. Both adults and children will have a rest from November 4 to 6. Parents will go to work on November 7, schoolchildren in some cases on the same day, in others a little later.

As for schools that use trimesters, as we noted just above, they will have autumn holidays twice.

Dates autumn holidays For the 2017-2018 academic year, such schools are as follows:

• from October 1 to October 8,
• from November 5 to 12.

Thus, in schools where the educational process is organized on the basis of a trimester system, the second autumn holidays also fall on the November holidays.

For those parents or schoolchildren for whom the exact dates when school holidays begin and end at a particular school are important (for example, if you are planning a family vacation, adjusting your own vacation to your child’s vacation, etc.), it is best to contact your school’s website for more accurate information. If the school website does not contain such information, then you should contact the secretary, to the class teacher or other people who have official information on this matter. We can only give general information.

Several times a year, busy school days are replaced by time for relaxation and entertainment. Primary and high school students spend this time having fun and interestingly. Educational trips, meeting with friends, reading interesting books and favorite hobbies fill in free days. Autumn holidays at school in 2017, no matter what date they start and how many days they last, are a wonderful opportunity for students to relax and take a break from daily lessons.

Deadlines

In all educational institutions in the Russian Federation, days of long-awaited rest are determined depending on the form of education.

The system of classes in quarters involves rest after the end of this period, summing up and grading.

In autumn, the vacation period always begins the same way: from the last Saturday in October to the first Sunday in November.

In 2017, the national holiday National Unity Day falls on a Saturday, so November 6 will be a day off.

At the end of the first quarter, schoolchildren will have a rest from October 28 to November 6. The week of classes will begin on Tuesday, after ten vacation days.

For educational institutions that provide training in trimesters, a different schedule is provided. One of the features of the trimester system is frequent weekly breaks, which allow students to take a break from the intense workload.

Schoolchildren studying in trimesters are given a vacation week after five weeks of classes, so in the fall they will be able to go on vacation twice. Parents will have to organize their child’s leisure time from October 9 to October 15. This is the first break, which will allow students to recuperate, then students will have a break from studying from November 20 to 26.

Approved schedule

The Ministry of Education is responsible for annual planning of the training schedule. Taking into account weekends, as well as dates of public holidays, the schedule for the year, the start and end dates of the holiday are determined.

The deadlines proposed by the Ministry of Education can be adjusted in each specific school, as they are advisory in nature.

The administration of the educational institution independently determines from what date the autumn holidays at school will begin in 2017, depending on the program and form of education. The number of vacation days is also decided on an individual basis.

The only important limitation is that the recommended dates cannot be moved forward by more than two weeks.

Change of dates in 2017

In some cases, school administrators may deviate significantly from the dates recommended by ministry officials. This is due to emergency circumstances and failure to complete the annual program. In some regions, the learning process may be affected by weather conditions.

Due to severe frosts in winter and spring floods, classes may be canceled for a long time. In this case, the vacation days earned by students may be shortened or postponed to another time.

Lessons may be canceled for quite a long period, which will significantly affect the future training schedule.

Not only the administration of an educational institution, but also the parent committee can influence the autumn holidays in schools. From what date the carefree period for students will begin is determined by a joint decision, provided there are justified reasons for postponing the recommended dates.

The importance of proper rest

First, after have a fun summer, the autumn break from school is very important for the child’s future academic performance. Teachers and child psychologists advise spending this time actively, devoting time to sports and walks in the fresh air.

In the fall, the heating season and epidemics of viral diseases begin, so it is recommended to devote time free from study to strengthening immune system. The child must be distracted from computer games and modern gadgets.

Interesting trips and communication with nature will allow the student to take a break from intense workloads and prepare for the next period of classes.

The ability of educational institutions to independently adjust the schedule of the educational process is a convenient tool that allows the administration to quickly respond to changes.

However, the set dates do not always coincide with breaks in additional educational institutions, so students are not able to fully escape from daily activities. There are also disadvantages to organizing large-scale children's events, rallies, and Olympics.

Difficulties may arise with organizing travel or additional courses abroad. Therefore, it is important for students and parents to know in advance when the autumn holidays at school begin in 2017 and from what date it will be possible to plan the student’s leisure time.

School holidays are a time of long-awaited rest for any student. Both first-graders and future graduates count the days until the start of the holidays literally from the first days of the school year. After all, the 2017-2018 holidays are not just days free from school, but also a time filled with games, communication with peers, and vacation trips with family.

The vacation schedule for 2017-2018 is of interest to both students and their parents, and here’s why: they need the vacation calendar for 2017-2018 to plan vacations at work in advance.

After all, many of them prefer to travel and relax with their children during their vacation. In addition, this is a great opportunity for the family to be together.

And every student is looking forward to the holidays, and parents are preparing for the fact that children will be left to their own devices: parties, get-togethers with friends, going to the movies, spending time on the Internet. When can we expect these days to arrive in the 2017-2018 school year?

The competence of the Ministry of Education and school management is the preparation of the holiday schedule

Drawing up an annual vacation schedule is the responsibility of the Russian Ministry of Education. The federal level, after establishing specific dates, transmits information to regional educational institutions.

The scheduling work is annual. This is a necessary measure: every year holidays fall on different days of the week. But it is not advisable to start resting on a Sunday or a holiday. Accordingly, adjustments are required every year.

The timetable established by the Ministers of Education is advisory information. The final dates are fixed by order of a specific educational institution; intervention by others is also possible educational organizations such as FIPI. It is not uncommon for schools to have different dates.

The Ministry will publish the advisory document for educational institutions six months before September 1. For the 2017-2018 school year, this will happen in the spring of 2017. You can find out the start and end dates of the holiday periods yourself.

Vacation schedule for 2018 for students with a quarterly study schedule

If an educational institution conducts quarterly studies: 1 year = 4 quarters, the 2017-2018 vacation schedule is as follows:

3. Additional winter rest for first-graders. 1st grade students are just starting regulated school life. Additional rest is a necessity for them. It starts on February 19 and ends on February 25 - first-graders are given exactly a week;

Force majeure that changes the timing of the holidays

It’s not uncommon for schools in one city to let schoolchildren go on vacation earlier than educational institutions other cities. Why is this so? The Ministry of Education is one thing, the recommendation information of the Ministry is the same. And schools in the capital, St. Petersburg and other Russian cities date vacations in different ways.

The reason is the course of the educational process. Lag from school curriculum implies a delay in holidays. Advancement allows students to go on vacation earlier. There are force majeure events that change the timing of the holidays.

Before we move on to the topic of school holidays 2017, when do they start and going to school after resting in autumn, winter or spring - do not forget what you may be asked for on holiday days homework which must be completed.

Come back to school after the school holidays with your obligations fulfilled, having received adequate preparation in your lagging school subjects.

Spend time during the school holidays not only walking and having fun, but also for your benefit, so that your performance does not decrease after the days of rest, but on the contrary, after the holidays you increase your knowledge, because this is necessary, first of all, for yourself and no one else.

Usually school autumn, winter or spring break, coincide with the generally accepted dates and dates, and this will certainly be the case in the 2017 academic year in all Russian schools, with rare exceptions.

When are the autumn holidays in the 2017-2018 school year?

It all depends on the form of education in a particular school. As a rule, there are two such forms: trimesters and quarters. Depending on how the learning process is going at the school where your child is studying, you can find out when the well-deserved autumn holiday will come for schoolchildren in 2017:

The form of training is in trimesters. In this case, children are trained in this way: 5 weeks of study, a week of rest. Autumn holidays are expected from October 2 to 8 and from November 13 to 19.

The form of training is in quarters. Autumn school holidays will run from October 30 to November 6 inclusive.

Who determines the dates for the 2017 fall school holidays?

The Russian Ministry of Education stipulates that students must rest for 30 calendar days in one academic year, excluding summer holidays.

In addition, recommendations are given on what periods are best to take a break from classes, so as not to lose track of the school curriculum and have time to complete everything planned, while at the same time lightly loading the growing body with large amounts of information.

But every educational institution has the right to adjust the timing of the school autumn holidays of the 2017-2018 academic year so that they do not “break” their own program, according to which training takes place in a particular educational institution.

In other words, the timing and number of days of school holidays vary depending on the decision of the administration of each school individually.

In what cases can school holidays be canceled or postponed?

Please note that school holidays may be postponed or canceled altogether if the school was closed for quarantine in the autumn.

In addition, the parent committee has the right to vote in the formation of vacation dates for schoolchildren: if the proposals made by the parents of schoolchildren have a special logical basis, then the school administration can listen to their opinion and move the vacation period to a time convenient for everyone.

Autumn holidays 2017 academic year
Dates of autumn holidays (approximate) – October 28 (Saturday) - November 5 (Monday) 2017

Winter holidays 2017 academic year
Winter holiday dates (approximate) – December 23 (Saturday) 2017 - January 9 (Tuesday) 2018

The time for vacation is chosen by the school administration independently, but at the same time adheres to the recommendations established by the Ministry of Education.

Some schools have different holiday times. This is due to the type of training provided in a particular school. In some schools, children study in quarters, and in others in trimesters.

Vacation Features

Schoolchildren studying in quarters annually have the same periods of rest:

• Autumn. Nine-day holidays - the last week of October and the first week of November.
• Winter. 2 weeks of New Year holidays.
• Spring. The final week of March.
• Summer. All summer period.

First-graders have one more week of rest in the winter, as they need more time to rest due to their age.

In the trimester type of training, everything is simpler. Students attend classes for 5 weeks and then have a week off. The exception is the New Year holidays, which do not depend on the type of training.

Autumn holiday period

After the summer, it is difficult for children to get involved in their studies, and they look forward to the onset of the rest period.

School holidays, the most long-awaited ones, come in the 2016-2017 academic year during leaf fall - in the fall. During the week of rest there is one public holiday (November 4), so children will begin to rest at the end of October.

School will begin on November 7, 2016.

For those who study according to the trimester type, the rest will take place exactly twice:

• 10.2016-12.10.2016;
• 10.2016-24.10.2016.

Don't forget that some teachers assign homework during the holidays. Come to school prepared.

Winter holiday period

Students are looking forward to the New Year with special desire. After all, this is not only the arrival of Santa Claus with gifts, but also a break from lessons and daily homework.

Holidays during the coldest time of the year divide the school year in half. At this time, students and their parents spend holidays together at home or go on vacation. The winter holiday period is the same in all schools. It lasts 2 weeks.
