Trimester at school 2017-2018 is a relatively new form of organization of study time, rather unaccustomed to our children.

The word "trimester" comes from the Latin "trimestris", or "three months". It is almost universally used in schools in England and, partially, in the USA and the Russian Federation.

Unlike the usual one, with such a system, all the time of study is distributed evenly, that is, it is divided into equal parts, and the intervals between study and rest are almost the same. The key argument “for” the use of trimesters, according to experts, is that such an organization of the educational process helps to properly distribute the load on schoolchildren without causing overwork even among elementary school students.

AT trimester system only six courses study periods- each of the trimesters is divided into two parts, and six periods of rest - holidays. The duration of each trimester is five or six weeks, the duration of the holidays is a week, with the exception of the two-week New Year and three-month summer holidays.

Unlike the usual one, with such a system, all the time of study is distributed evenly, that is, it is divided into equal parts, and the intervals between study and rest are almost the same. According to experts, such an organization of the educational process helps to properly distribute the load on schoolchildren, without causing overwork even among elementary school students.

In the trimester system of education, there are only six training periods - trimesters, and six periods of rest - holidays. The duration of each trimester is five or six weeks, the duration of the holidays is a week, with the exception of the two-week New Year and three-month summer holidays.

Perhaps there is no such student who does not look forward to the holidays. Both excellent students and losers with the same enthusiasm count the days until the start of the long-awaited vacation. And, for sure, most students start counting literally from the very first days of school, even though it has become fashionable to study well now. After all, it is to improve academic performance that the transition from quarters to trimesters is intended. To date, the preliminary schedule of school holidays for trimesters for the 2017-2018 academic year is as follows: five (sometimes six) weeks of classes alternate with a week of rest.

  • 1st trimester / autumn holidays - from October 7 to October 15, 2017 inclusive;
  • 2nd trimester / autumn holidays Stage 2 - from November 18 to November 26, 2017 inclusive;
  • 3rd trimester / winter holidays - from December 30, 2017 to January 9, 2018 inclusive;
  • 4th trimester / winter holidays Stage 2 - from February 17 to February 25, 2018 (sometimes these holidays are called spring holidays);
  • 5th trimester / spring break - from April 7 to April 15, 2018 inclusive;
  • 6th trimester / summer vacation - from June 1 to August 31 inclusive.

Calendar for convenience:

As we see, in modern system training, each trimester ends with a short rest. However, when planning vacations for 2017-2018, it is worth remembering that rest time in schools with a trimester system of education practically does not coincide with vacations in a regular, quarterly system. The only exception was the traditional New Year holidays - the Ministry of Education recommends taking a day off the last week before and the first week after the New Year.

The situation is similar with long summer holidays - by order of the relevant department, absolutely all schoolchildren have a rest during this period, regardless of the education system.

Perhaps, by the 2018-2019 academic year, norms will already be introduced that control the organization of students' rest at uniform time intervals, which is already being actively discussed in the Government.

Possible changes

Those who plan holidays in advance should remember that the dates of the trimester holidays given in the article for the 2017-2018 academic year are approximate. The fact is that the Ministry of Education determines only the total duration of study time and rest time, plus gives recommendations on the start and end dates of vacations. For example, school holidays for students must necessarily begin at the beginning of the working week, that is, on Monday.

The school, however, retains the right to independently set vacation time - of course, within the framework of the recommendations of the ministry. So children of different schools and different regions have a rest at different times - somewhere the beginning of the holidays had to be “moved” due to severe frosts or spring floods, somewhere, on the contrary, everything goes according to plan. So the exact, final dates for the start and end of the school holidays for the trimesters for the 2017-2018 academic year are determined by the school leadership.

The Ministry of Education reserves the right for the educational institution to determine the form of organization of study time on its own, and the system of education - quarterly or trimester - is prescribed in the Charter of each school. Thus, the government department gives the opportunity to the students themselves and their parents to choose how they prefer to study - with the distribution of the load by quarters or trimesters. Make changes to educational process may the school administration and parent committee.

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, most Russian educational institutions adhere to the traditional scheme that developed back in Soviet times when approving the vacation schedule: four quarters, a week of rest in November, two - on new year holidays, another week - at the end of March. Regional departments of education 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 to leave for summer vacation 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 even 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 additional day of rest will be "added" to the usual weekly duration of the November holidays.


Most Russian schools 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, find out the exact dates winter holidays especially important 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 vacations 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;

  • 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.

  • autumn– from October 29 to November 6;


  • winter– from December 31 to January 10;


  • additional February– from 18 to 25 February;

How to find out the exact vacation dates for a child

Since the final decision on vacation dates is made by the school management, 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 your child's class teacher. 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 educational institution.

Rest - 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 forces?

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. Alternatively, 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 like a bad dream. 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 provide an additional source of 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.

Helpful 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 in school age parents often dismiss him. 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 the 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

AT 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 single school vacation schedule in the country: in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Education, educational institutions have the right to independently set the schedule for children's rest, 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). The second academic quarter will begin on 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.


The winter vacation 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 falls in 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;


  • the winter vacation 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 the system electronic diaries - 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.

In 2017, Russians are waiting for a relatively short (nine-day) New Year holidays, but the number of "long days off" 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" 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 month most full of holidays, it also falls on the Day of Spring and Labor and Celebration, dedicated to the Day Victory. 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 adjoining the previous weekend. Thus, 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. Thus 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.

Thus, 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. Thus, 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 middle 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 the 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 66 holidays.

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 general educational institutions in Russia to organize the educational process at their own discretion 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, every Russian school can refuse the system of quarters that is familiar to many former and current students. 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. students (especially 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 the learning process and the 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 even need to go to school, and additional 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.

Such a vacation schedule most often coincides with days off at 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 countryside left their studies at the time of the harvest, and students living in cities rested 7 days after every 3 months of study. AT 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.

According to modern Russian laws, there is no single school vacation schedule in the country: in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Education, educational institutions have the right to independently set the schedule for children's rest, 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 complete the curriculum 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). The second academic quarter will begin on 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.


The winter vacation 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 falls in 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;


  • the winter vacation 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.
