In most of Russia, the climate implies a harsh and frosty winter. Low temperature is a legitimate reason not to go to school, which cannot but rejoice the kids. If local authorities decide to cancel classes in educational institutions in connection with frosts, children can take a break from classes.
Regulatory document
Each student at least once asked himself the question: “At what temperature do classes cancel schools?” There are special recommendations of the Ministry of Education and Science — the document “On the working hours of educational institutions in conditions of a sharp drop in outdoor temperature”. It provides explanations of the minimum permitted temperature at which visits to preschool and educational institutions take place. Its level should be regulated in a particular region by the city department of education based on the current climatic conditions of the area.
Preschoolers, as well as students in the first and fourth grades, may not attend an educational institution when the thermometer drops below twenty-five degrees. Pupils of middle and senior classes are exempted from classes when the temperature drops to minus twenty-seven degrees Celsius.
At what temperature do classes in schools in different regions cancel.
The central part of Russia, in particular Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Smolensk and others, perceive the temperature below minus twenty-three degrees Celsius as the basis for terminating classes in elementary school. The middle classes do not attend classes when the thermometer is below minus twenty-six, while the senior classes do not attend at -31 Celsius.
Depending on air humidity and wind strength, this temperature scale may vary in different regions. So, in the Urals, at minus twenty-five, only kids are exempted from classes. If the temperature drops below minus twenty-eight to thirty degrees Celsius, middle-aged students can rest, and at a thermometer mark of thirty-two degrees below zero, high school students may not go to school.
For students in Siberian schools, the reason for dismissal from school is lower indicators of the thermometer. At what temperature do classes in schools in Omsk and Irkutsk cancel? Here, children are exempted from visiting educational institutions, if on the street - from thirty to forty degrees of frost.
It is noteworthy that in the northern regions of Russia the reason for exemption from lessons is such low temperatures that even adult residents of other regions of Russia will find it difficult to leave home in such cold weather. For example, in Yakutia and the Yakutsk region, children from primary school will be released from attending classes only at temperatures below forty degrees. The middle school link can only rest when the thermometer is minus forty-eight degrees, and high school students will stay home at minus fifty. It should be noted that such frosts in this region are an infrequent phenomenon, in connection with which students are rarely exempted from classes due to cold weather.
At what temperature do classes in schools in the southern regions be canceled? Here, the probability of non-attendance of educational institutions by children due to frost is extremely small, since in winter the thermometer practically does not fall below seven to eight degrees Celsius above zero.
How to attend kindergartens in extreme cold
With severe frosts in preschools, cancellation of classes is also practiced. At what temperature can children not attend the garden? In principle, the standards are still the same as described above. But! If there is “non-flying weather” on the street, but the children's factory continues to work, they are limited to just holding garden events in a group, without walking in the fresh air.
So when should the guys stay indoors? Kids up to four years old are not allowed to walk at a thermometer below minus fifteen degrees Celsius, as well as at a wind speed of more than fifteen meters per second. Children between the ages of five and seven do not go for a walk if the mercury column drops below minus twenty degrees Celsius and the wind speed exceeds fifteen meters per second.
Can parents leave their child at home in the cold?
The final decision regarding children attending an educational institution is made by their parents. It can be based on several aspects: the health status of the child, the remoteness of the school / kindergarten from home, a sharp cooling, and a decreased temperature. The cancellation of classes at school is far from always the case, and if parents thought it necessary to leave the student at home due to adverse weather conditions, this does not require documentary evidence or written explanations.
There are resolutions according to which in the event of a severe cold snap, educational institutions continue their work in the prescribed manner. The educational process is organized for any number of children. At the same time, sanitary and epidemiological rules and regulations must be observed. It is also necessary to ensure optimal temperature condition in the rooms.
Alert
When classes are canceled at school, teachers are required to contact the parents of the students and notify them of the exemption from school attendance by the children. Mass notification of the population about the temporary cessation of classes in educational institutions is carried out on radio, television (in a running line and in the news), on the Internet at the local website of the Department of Education, as well as by a special phone number.
School refund
All students who are happy about the chance to not go to school on absolutely legal grounds should remember one important rule. In cases where most of the children do not attend an educational institution, school holidays can be used in full for classes to study the program.
