In what weather can a child not go to school?
Rospotrebnadzor recalls that children of preschool and school age may not attend classes under adverse weather conditions, and no reference is required for their parents to the school or kindergarten;.
It is only important to remember what the age limits are. So, you can not go to school if:
- on the street 25 degrees of frost and below - pupils of elementary school and kindergarteners should be exempted from classes
- the thermometer reached 30 degrees of frost - students of grades 5-9 are exempted from attending school;
- frost has reached 34-35 degrees and lower - senior pupils can not go to school (10-11 grades).
Do not sit and wait for the appropriate decision will be made by the principal or class teacher. To lead a child to school or not, if the temperature indicators are below acceptable, parents decide themselves. But about their decision, they must inform the tutor or the class teacher by phone.
Are there any deviations from the norms presented above? Yes, if the child goes far to a stop, if the school is located far away, if there is a strong wind outside. Under such circumstances, parents may not let the child go to school even at 20 degrees of frost.
All children who stay at home should receive homework, and the teacher should, if necessary, give explanations by phone or e-mail.
Requirements to present a certificate after the absence due to weather conditions faced by many parents are illegal, they say in Rospotrebnadzor. Help the child who was absent due to frost, make out and present should not.
