School holiday dates for the academic year. Holidays in quarters. Central and Latin America

The vacation schedule at schools, universities and secondary vocational education institutions in Moscow is approved individually for each educational institution by its director, rector or other decision-maker. In practice, the vacation schedule rarely differs from the recommendations of a higher authority.

Russian schools live according to two academic “calendars”: quarters and trimesters. Depending on this, and also based on the recommendations of the Ministry of Education, educational institutions themselves determine the dates of the holidays. In general, it is beneficial for the school to adhere to the generally established framework, since general holidays mean greater opportunities for organizing quality children's leisure time: 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.

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

New Year holidays 2018–2019 academic year

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

Spring break 2019 school year

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

Summer holidays 2019 academic year

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

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

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

Trimesters at school 2017-2018 are a relatively new form of organizing school time that is quite unfamiliar 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, with such a system, all study time is distributed evenly, that is, divided into equal parts, and the intervals between study and rest are almost the same. The key argument in favor of using trimesters, according to experts, is that such an organization of the educational process helps to correctly distribute the load on students, without causing overwork even among elementary school students.

In the trimester education system, there are only six study periods - each trimester is divided into two parts, and six rest periods - vacations. 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.

There is probably no schoolchild who does not look forward to the holidays. Both excellent students and poor students with equal enthusiasm count the days until the long-awaited vacation begins. And, for sure, most students start counting literally from the very first days of school, even though it has now become fashionable to study well. After all, the transition from quarters to trimesters is intended to improve academic performance. To date, the preliminary schedule of school holidays by trimester for the 2017-2018 school 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 holidays – from April 7 to April 15, 2018 inclusive;
• 6th trimester/summer holidays - from June 1 to August 31 inclusive.

Calendar for convenience:

As you can see, in the modern education system, each trimester ends with a short rest. However, when planning vacations for 2017-2018, it is worth remembering that the vacation time in schools with a trimester education system practically does not coincide with vacations according to the regular, quarter 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 the long summer holidays - by order of the relevant department, absolutely all schoolchildren, regardless of the education system, take a rest during this period.

It is possible that by the 2018-2019 academic year, standards will have already been introduced to control the organization of students’ recreation at uniform time intervals, which is already being actively discussed in the Government.

Possible changes

Those who plan their holidays in advance should remember that the dates of trimester holidays for the 2017-2018 academic year given in the article 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 the holidays. For example, school holidays for students must begin at the beginning of the working week, that is, on Monday.

The school retains the right to independently set vacation times - of course, within the framework of the ministry’s recommendations. So children from different schools and different regions go on vacation at different times - in some places the start of the holidays had to be “pushed back” due to severe frosts or spring floods, in others, on the contrary, everything is going exactly according to plan. So the exact, final dates for the start and end of school holidays by trimester 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 organizing educational time independently, and the educational system - quarter or trimester - is prescribed in the Charter of each school. Thus, the government department allows the students themselves and their parents to choose how they prefer to study - with the distribution of the load across quarters or trimesters. The school administration and the parent committee can make changes to the educational process.

The trimester method of teaching is quite common in many schools. In the 2017-2018 academic year, according to the schedule, the first holidays begin from October 2 to October 8.

Top 7 basic facts about school terms in the 2017-2018 school year

1. The duration of one year is divided into 6 trimesters and 6 generally accepted weekly ones;
2. Each school individually has the right to set its own holiday calendar, based on the recommendations given by the Ministry of Education;
3. Teaching using trimesters significantly reduces the load on the child, so he does not have time to exhaust himself in a short time of one educational passage;
4. Not only the administration of the educational institution, but also the parents of students have the right to choose a quaternary or trimester system of education;
5. The school holiday schedule may be changed due to unforeseen circumstances (epidemics, bad weather);
6. Thanks to trimesters, children have several autumn and winter holidays;
7. The average duration of one trimester is 5-6 weeks.

Vacations are the dream of every schoolchild

Trimesters for students in the new 2017-2018 academic year represent a relatively recent innovation in the structure of children's education.

The advantage of the usual one is the most correct and expedient organization of schoolchildren’s time, because an even distribution between study and rest contributes to greater productivity and performance of students.

School holiday calendar by trimester 2017-2018

In the whole world, there is probably not a schoolchild who would not love the onset of long-awaited idleness. Excellent students, good students and poor students - each of them counts down the time until the approach of a serene rest. And, of course, there is that part of students who turn on the countdown timer from the very first day of school.

Today there is already a prepared schedule of school holidays by trimester for 2017-2018:

• period (autumn period) - from October 2 to October 8 (inclusive);
• period (second autumn holidays) - November 18-23;
• interval (winter period) - from December 27 to January 8;
• period (second winter holidays) - February 21-27;
• period (spring) - April 10-16;
• period (summer period) - from June 1 to August 31.

The only exception was, again, New Year's holidays (starting from the last week before and the week after), since they are recommended by the Ministry of Education.

The longest summer ones have been confirmed in a similar way, where the order of the relevant department allows every schoolchild to rest in the summer, and this applies to any educational system.

Changes are possible in the trimester schedule in 2017-2018

If any of you planned the holidays prematurely, then I would like to warn you that the data presented above is only a tentative plan for the 2017-2018 academic year.

This is due to the fact that the Ministry of Education distributes only estimated days and duration of rest for students, providing recommendations on the approximate dates of the beginning and end of the holidays. But, nevertheless, each school has the right to announce its own deadlines within the limits of the Ministry of Education.

Order of the Moscow Department of Education dated 03/09/2017 No. 52r “On recommended vacation dates”:

Vacations are an unusually “tasty” and pleasant topic for discussion. Children (and parents too - let’s be honest!) are waiting for them almost from the first day of school. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to discuss what the school holidays will be like in the 2017–2018 school year, even in the midst of hot summer days.
All holidays for the 2017–2018 academic year will, as before, be regulated by the Ministry of Education. Or rather, the Ministry of Education gives recommendations, and whether to follow them or not is up to the school. As a rule, this issue is resolved at the beginning of the year at the School Council and is fixed by order of the director. The choice largely depends on the internal routine of the educational institution, namely: studies are conducted in quarters or trimesters at one or another alma mater.
Now a little more specific.

School holidays 2017-2018 academic year: autumn, winter, spring

Autumn holidays 2017 –from October 29 to November 6, 2017
For those who study in trimesters, autumn will give you a short break twice: from 2 to 8 October And from November 13 to 19, 2017.

New Year holidays We have in common: all schoolchildren have a two-week vacation, regardless of whether they study in quarters or trimesters. from December 31, 2017 to January 10, 2018 schoolchildren will be completely free.

Additional holidays – February 18 – February 25 - are provided for 1st grade students, and also in some cases for 2-4 grades in agreement with local governing bodies.

With modular training mode The school holiday schedule for 2017-2018 is somewhat different from the traditional one. Vacation dates:
October 1 – October 8, 2017
November 5 – November 12, 2017
December 31 – January 10, 2018
February 18 – February 25, 2018
April 8 – April 15, 2018

The end of the school year in a “traditional” school is scheduled for May 23(or May 26, if there were additional holidays during the year)

It should be clarified that the Order is advisory in nature, and the timing of the holidays in each specific school may vary slightly.

How is the school holiday calendar formed?

So, if school is taught in quarters, children have rest 4 times a year:
Autumn: 9 days in the last week of October and the first week of November (including weekends)
In winter: the last days of December and 10 days in January - a total of 14 days.
In spring: last 7 days of March
Summer: three summer months
An additional winter week of vacation is provided for first-graders and students in special classes.
If an educational institution operates in trimesters, then students will study for 5 weeks and rest for 1 week. With the exception of the New Year holidays, they are the same for everyone.

However, I repeat: the school has the right to adjust the vacation time itself, so the vacation dates may vary in different cities and in different schools. Of course, if the school is private, then it decides this issue absolutely independently and has the right not to be guided by the recommendations of the Ministry of Education. The holiday hours of such schools may differ significantly from public schools.
I would like to wish everyone a good rest, but I would like to wish you good work, because whoever is in harmony with work is not at odds with rest. Right?

Based on such a short observation period, it is impossible to accurately determine the distance at which asteroid 2006 QV89 will approach the Earth on 09/09/2019, since the asteroid has not been observed since then (since 2006). Moreover, according to various estimates, the object may approach our planet not on the 9th, but on another date in September 2019.

As for whether 2006 QV89 will collide with Earth on September 9, 2019 or not - the likelihood of a collision is extremely low.

Thus, the Sentry System (developed by the JPL Center for NEO Studies) shows that the probability of a body colliding with the Earth is 1:9100 (those. about one ten thousandth of a percent).

The European Space Agency (ESA) estimates the chance of an asteroid crossing its orbit with our planet as 1 in 7300 (0,00014 % ). ESA placed 2006 QV89 in 4th place among celestial bodies posing a potential danger to Earth. According to the agency, the exact time of “flight” of the body on September 9, 2019 is 10:03 Moscow time.

In both Orthodoxy and Catholicism, Easter always falls on Sunday.

Easter 2020 is preceded by Lent, which begins 48 days before the Holy Day. And after 50 days they celebrate Trinity.

Popular pre-Christian customs that have survived to this day include dyeing eggs, making Easter cakes and curd Easter cakes.

We should greet each other on Easter with the words “Christ is Risen,” and respond with “Truly He is Risen.”

This will be the fourth game for the Russian team in this qualifying tournament. Let us remind you that in the previous three meetings, Russia “at the start” lost to Belgium with a score of 1:3, and then won two dry victories - over Kazakhstan (4:0) and over San Marino (9:0). The last victory was the largest in the entire existence of the Russian football team.

As for the upcoming meeting, according to bookmakers, the Russian team is the favorite in it. The Cypriots are objectively weaker than the Russians, and the islanders cannot expect anything good from the upcoming match. However, we must take into account that the teams have never met before, and therefore unpleasant surprises may await us.

The Russia-Cyprus meeting will take place on June 11, 2019 in Nizhny Novgorod at the stadium of the same name, built for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Start of the match - 21:45 Moscow time.

Where and what time do the national teams of Russia and Cyprus play:
* Venue of the match - Russia, Nizhny Novgorod.
* Game start time is 21:45 Moscow time.
