The temperature at which school is canceled can range from -25 to -35 degrees. You will learn more detailed information on this topic from the materials in this article.
General information
As you know, children and adolescents spend almost all their time in general education institutions. That is why the conditions in which they live are very important for their parents. After all, room lighting and sanitary and hygienic indicators play a huge role for children's health and immunity. This is due to the fact that the characteristics of a small organism are such that even minor changes in the microclimate affect thermoregulation. Therefore, all schoolchildren are in dire need of ensuring maximum comfort and appropriate If such conditions are not met in an educational institution, then the heat transfer of the growing body increases noticeably. This often leads to hypothermia, which in most cases contributes to the appearance of colds.
In connection with all of the above, it should be noted that almost every parent of a schoolchild is interested in the question of what should be the temperature at which school is canceled? To answer this, you should turn to sanitary standards.
Sanitary standards
Surely every child knows in what weather school is canceled. After all, such changes allow you to “legally” skip classes. But in addition to the general condition (“extreme cold”), there is also a more specific temperature at which school is canceled.
As you know, the microclimate of any room depends on humidity, air temperature and the speed of its movement. Some of these indicators are quite easy to adjust. However, the air temperature in schools depends on several factors. One of them is the heat transfer of the heating system. Thus, if a general education institution is connected to a central heating system, then for a comfortable stay in the building, its management can additionally install radiators that will have high efficiency.
It should also be noted that tightly fitting doors and high-quality double-glazed windows help to maintain a normal temperature in the school. If such measures are not provided, then it is recommended that the educational institution keep a temperature log. To fill it out, measurements should be taken every day. In the future, the results should be presented to the heat supply company.
Existing indoor standards
What is the temperature at which school is canceled? This question concerns not only the air temperature outside, but also indoors. According to current standards, you can attend a general education institution under the following regime:
- from 15 degrees in school workshops and workshops;
- from 17 degrees in regular classrooms;
- from 15 degrees in the gym for physical education;
- from 16 degrees in the school’s general library;
- from 19 degrees in dressing rooms and locker rooms;
- from 17 degrees in restrooms;
- from 17 degrees in halls for cultural development (assembly halls);
- from 21 degrees in the medical office.
If the existing temperature in classrooms and other premises of the educational institution is below the specified norm, then the question of canceling all classes may well arise.
Does nature have bad weather?
When is school canceled? If you ask a schoolchild this question, you will hear the answer that most often this happens in winter. Indeed, the temperature inside an educational building cannot help but depend on the outside temperature. After all, as practice shows, even the thickest and highest quality doors and windows cannot save you from extreme cold. That is why winter frosts are very often a reason for “legal” absenteeism from school.
Existing standards
In our country, the following standards exist: if the temperature outside the window varies within -25...-40 degrees, then all educational institutions are required to cancel classes.
By the way, parents of schoolchildren are often interested in the question of what wind conditions cause school to be cancelled. After all, this parameter is also of great importance. So, if the wind is less than 2 meters per second, then all training sessions are canceled in the following mode:
- -30 degrees for those children studying in grades 1-4;
- -35 degrees for those children studying in grades 5-9;
- -40 degrees for those studying in grades 10-11.
Canceling classes in very strong winds
If the temperature outside exceeds 7 meters per second, then classes in schools are canceled at the following temperature values:
Why are classes cancelled?
Some people wonder why schools are sometimes canceled during the winter. As is known, such approximate standards are introduced in order to protect the health of schoolchildren and prevent them from hypothermia and frostbite.
How do you know about extreme air temperatures?
Local TV channels, print media and radio report about events that are unusual for certain regions of our country. Sometimes, with the help of the media, the population is informed about the closure of educational institutions for a certain period of time. However, the best way to find out whether school is canceled is to call your teacher, head teacher or class teacher.
It should also be noted that parents need to use common sense. After all, if there is severe frost outside, and the road to an educational institution turns into an extreme journey, then you should not let your child go to classes, even if they have not been officially cancelled. It is better to teach your child the educational material covered in his absence than to treat him later after hypothermia.
Will the six-day school day be canceled?
Discussions about its introduction in our country have been going on for quite some time. And just recently, the A Just Russia party introduced a corresponding bill to the State Duma. As you know, it provides for a compulsory five-day school week, but only for schoolchildren who study from 1st to 9th grades. As for older students (grades 10 and 11), only the school administration has the right to decide whether to cancel the six-day period or not, relying on its discretion.
As you know, the party was prompted to such a bill by data from the Ministry of Health. After all, as practice shows, recently the workload in general education institutions has increased so much that children have become sick much more often.
So when will the six-day period in schools be cancelled? It is proposed to introduce such a school week from September 1 of this year (2014).
Advantages and disadvantages
Of course, the fact that students will get an extra day off and be able to spend more time with their parents is the biggest benefit of this change. However, it also has significant drawbacks. Now the entire teaching load will be distributed not over six days, as before, but over five. In other words, the number of lessons will increase significantly. Moreover, students will have to do more homework.
The immediate decision to cancel classes at school due to frost is made by the school administration based on recommendations and orders from the educational authorities of the region or municipality. As a rule, an order is issued for the school. The school may cancel classes completely, or inform parents about the possibility of not attending classes during the cold season.
If attending school in cold weather affects the child’s health, the school will be held responsible. In accordance with the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation,” responsibility for the life and health of children during the educational process rests with the educational organization.
At what temperature can you not go to school?
When making decisions to cancel classes, executive authorities of the constituent entities refer to letter No. 511-M of the Ministry of Education of the RSFSR dated December 22, 1978:
grades 5-9 – minus 30°C and below;
10-11 grades – minus 31°C and below.
In municipalities where students are transported to their place of study, classes are canceled at the following outside air temperatures:
grades 1-4 – minus 25°C and below;
Grades 5-11 – minus 30°C and below.
Also, authorities and educational organizations refer to the decisions of the chief sanitary doctor of the region. Such decisions are advisory in nature. Different regions have their own temperature indicators at which it is recommended to cancel studies:
Central part of Russia, middle zone:
-23-25°C - grades 1-4;
-26-29°C - grades 1-9;
from -30°C - classes in all classes are cancelled.In the Urals:
-25-28°C - grades 1-4;
-28-30°C - grades 1-9;
-30-32°C - classes are canceled in all classes.In Siberia:
-30°C - grades 1-4;
-32-35°C - grades 1-9;
from -40°C - classes in all classes are cancelled.In the northern regions of Russia:
from -40°C - grades 1-4;
from -48°C - grades 1-9;
from -50°C - classes in all classes are cancelled.
I remember how during my school years I rejoiced at the frosts... not that I really liked cold weather - but simply in such cases, classes at school were canceled (after all, despite all the sentimental cliches, I did not consider school lessons “wonderful” at all, and it was unnecessary I had no desire to meet my classmates (who for the most part were the most unpleasant people) and endure a massive “sound attack.”
This practice of caring for the health of schoolchildren continues today. But what are the exact numbers - how cold does it have to be for classes to be cancelled? We managed to obtain some information on this matter in one of the schools in Kostroma (fortunately, it does not represent a state secret - everything is posted on the stand for interested parties).
It turns out that the decision to cancel a lesson depends not only on the air temperature, but also on the wind speed (the higher it is, the lower the temperature is needed to cancel lessons).
“Starting point” – temperature with a wind of 5 m/s– classes are canceled from 1st grade to 4th grade. At temperatures from t – 26 0 C to t –28 0 C, 3 m/s is sufficient for this, and at temperatures t –29 0 C with a wind of 5 m/s they do not study until the sixth grade inclusive.
Classes in grades 1 to 11 are canceled at temperatures from t –30 0 C to t –38 0 C with a wind speed of 4 m/s, at t –39 0 C or t –40 0 C 2 m/s is enough s and, finally, at temperatures t –41 0 C and below, they do not study even in calm weather.
Moreover, if the cancellation of classes is announced, this does not mean that the school will be closed that day: teachers are still required to be at their workplaces and - if one of the children does come - to study with them (at least individually), i.e. canceling classes in the cold means permission not to come to school, and not a ban on coming.
There are also standards for conducting physical education lessons on the street or in the gym. This is also determined by air temperature in combination with wind speed and the age of the students.
With children 7-11 years old You can do physical exercise outside in calm weather at temperatures up to t –15 0 C, with wind up to 5 m/s – up to t –10 0 C, from 5 to 10 m/s – up to t –7 0 C.
With students 12-13 years old: in calm weather – up to –17 0 C, with wind up to 5 m/s – up to t –13 0 C, from 5 to 10 m/s – up to t –10 0 C.
14-15 year old teenagers can engage in physical activity outdoors in calm weather - at temperatures up to t –20 0 C, with winds up to 5 m/s - up to t 17 0 C, from 5 to 10 m/s - up to t 17 0 C.
Norms for high school students (16-18 years old): calm weather – up to t –21 0 C, wind up to 5 m/s – up to t –20 0 C, from 5 to 10 m/s – up to t –15 0 C.
And finally, with any students (from first grade to eleventh grade), at any air temperature, physical education lessons are supposed to be held in the gym (and not outside) at a wind speed of more than 10 m/s. Nothing was reported about rain or hail in the indicated tables posted in the school lobby - but, apparently, this moment depends entirely on the sanity of the physical education teacher. However, if he decided to raise and educate “Spartans”... then the parents will have to decide directly with the school principal whether they want a “Spartan” education for their children or not.
Frosty weather in Russia begins to set in in December. Cold weather travels through the regions until spring, and many schoolchildren dream of additional holidays on such days. Children rarely think about the fact that they will have to make up for lost time by studying hard afterwards.
Temperature values for activated days
The decision to cancel classes due to severe frosts in schools in the Russian Federation is made either by education committees or school administrations. There are no clear standards; there are only recommendations from Rospotrebnadzor of the Russian Federation. School visits are canceled in each region of Russia independently, taking into account the climate, current weather conditions and the incidence of influenza and ARVI among students.
According to the recommendations of Rospotrebnadzor, students in grades 1-4 may not attend school when the temperature on the thermometer is -27oC, and students in grades 5-11 when the temperature is -30oC. Wind speed is also taken into account, which aggravates the effects of frosty air and leads to severe frostbite.
Often, younger schoolchildren do not attend classes even at -25°C and winds of more than 2.5 m/s, and high school students may be canceled from attending classes at -29°C and winds of more than 7 m/s. In the southern regions, the temperature bar for activated days is slightly higher, and in the northern regions, on the contrary, it is lower than the main values.
This is due to the ability of children in different climate zones to withstand cold weather. Children in the southern regions adapt less well to frost, while northern schoolchildren are more resistant to low winter temperatures.
During periods of influenza and ARVI epidemics, classes may be canceled not only for a few days, but also for the entire forecasted frosty period. In this case, children receive additional holidays. Then social networks come to the aid of teachers.
Lessons on social networks
On frosty days, when students stay at home, teachers give them assignments through social networks. This could be a group on Odnoklassniki or VKontakte, as well as special school websites. Assignments are given daily and checked by teachers either via the Internet or after the frost is lifted in schools.
In cold weather, parents have the right to leave their child at home or send him to classes, in which case all responsibility falls on them. If a child gets sick, there will be no one to blame. Small gaps in knowledge are much easier to fill. And additional rest for modern children is only beneficial.
Frosts are approaching, schoolchildren and their parents are wondering at what temperature they can avoid attending educational institutions.
Parents have the right to independently decide whether their children will go to school in the cold or not. According to representatives of the Department of Education and Science, students have the right not to attend kindergartens or schools if the thermometer indicates a very low temperature.
At what temperature do children not go to school in 2018, what should the air temperature be for children to have the right to skip school?
Grades 1-4 may not go to school at temperatures of -27 °C or lower.
Grades 5-6 – at a temperature of -30 °C and below
7-8 grades – at a temperature of -32 °C and below
9-11 grades – at a temperature of 36 C and below
The Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation also emphasized that in Central Russia, the reason for canceling lessons in primary schools in rural areas is a temperature of -25°C or lower, and in the city -27 ºC. High school students have the right not to show up for classes when the temperature is -30 in the city -27 ºС, in high school -30 ºС. and below.
If we talk about Oymyakoy, the village education department decided:
Students in grades 1-5 have the right to be absent from school at temperatures of -52 ºС and below.
At what temperature do children not go to school in 2018, how does this apply to teachers?
These standards do not apply to teachers in any way. Teachers must report to work in any weather and, if at least one student comes to class, they are obliged to teach him lessons.
The only reason not to conduct classes at all is the temperature in the educational institution itself. If the thermometer shows +18 ºС or lower, then according to the resolution of the Ministry of Education and Science, teachers and students have the right not to come to school at all.
