Spring Break 2018

Holidays are the most favorite time for schoolchildren and troublesome for parents. After all, they must plan how this time will pass. Therefore, it is important to know in advance for what period spring breaks fall.

Spring Break Schedule

For teachers, vacations are no less necessary. At this time, they can qualitatively prepare for the educational process and write a plan for the next quarter. When spring breaks begin and end, the Ministry of Education decides, no later than 6 months before they begin.

It should be noted that in the date of their beginning or end there may be some deviations, not more than 14 days in both directions. Such changes may be made by representatives of the administration of the institution. But this can be very inconvenient for parents who pre-plan their children.

As for the spring break, their children are waiting almost the same as summer. At this time, they can rest after the longest quarter. Their duration is 8-9 days, depending on the training system (five- or six-day).

According to the vacation schedule, approved by the Ministry of Education for the 2017-2018 academic year, in the spring, holidays for schoolchildren should begin on March 26 on Monday and last until April 2. But, due to the fact that March 26th is Monday, the children begin to rest from the weekend, so it turns out 8-9 days of vacation.

Holidays in the semester education system

In those educational institutions where training is carried out in a modular (semester system), everything is somewhat different. In those schools where the academic year is divided into three trimesters, time is provided for rest not only between the trimesters, but also in the middle of them. Therefore, with ordinary schools, their holidays will coincide only in winter (New Year's) and in summer. In such schools, spring break is scheduled for April 8-15.

Possible deviations

Typically, the start and end dates of spring break are approved immediately in the country. However, due to the fact that each region has its own distinctive climatic features, local authorities may change these dates. Moreover, the duration of the holidays cannot be less than officially established in the country, and the time of their start cannot be shifted by more than 2 weeks in one direction or another.

Exact vacation dates

As you can see, the start date and duration of the spring break is determined by the Ministry of Education before the start of the school year. However, there may be times when their dates will be slightly shifted. So how do you know when exactly they will begin with your child?

To do this, you need to talk with the school board or the parent committee of the class. As a rule, they are always the first to find out about the start and end dates of the holiday. In addition, you can contact the class teacher or directly the administration of the institution. With any changes in the initial process, they will immediately find out about this and can share information with their parents.

Also, such information is usually published on the official website of the institution. In addition, an analysis of the annual school practice helps to navigate the issue of the beginning of spring break.

How to entertain a child during the holidays

Most often, parents send schoolchildren on vacation to their grandparents. In some educational institutions, educational camps are organized during the holidays, where children can relax, play with their peers and learn something new and interesting.

If parents for this period can take a vacation at work, then it’s nice to visit the museums and exhibitions of the city with a schoolboy or visit the entertainment center. If the weather permits, then you can walk in the nearest park.

But some parents go even further, and go with their children to rest abroad.In this case, it should be remembered that a sharp change in climatic conditions can adversely affect the well-being and health of the child. Therefore, if you also plan to go somewhere, try to strengthen your child’s body in advance. To do this, start giving him a multivitamin complex or engage in hardening the body.
