Due to the fact that the lineup for grades 9 and 11 in 2021, by order of the Ministry of Health and Rospotrebnadzor, had to be postponed to May 21 and 22, parents and current graduates are interested in the question of when will the last call in 2022 in Russian schools be. So far, only preliminary information has appeared, which allows already now to begin preparations for the ceremonial farewell to the school.

What day is the "Last Bell" held in schools in Russia in 2022

According to the established tradition, not only in Moscow and St. Petersburg, the last school lineup for graduates in all schools is held on the same day. Until recently, the “last bell” was traditionally held in Russian schools on 25 May. If this date fell on a Sunday, the solemn event was postponed to the fourth Friday of the month.

Traditionally, on May 25, in the schoolyard in every Russian school, classes are lined up on a solemn line, on which graduates of the 9th and 11th grades are escorted into the big life.

The tradition of the whole school to see off the graduates was laid down in Soviet times by the honored teacher of the Krasnodar Territory Fyodor Bryukhovetsky, who proposed to open with a solemn ceremony not only the farewell of graduates to the school at the end of May, but also events for the Day of Knowledge on September 1.

In 1971, the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, by its Decree, approved this event, making it a single tradition for all Soviet schools. After the collapse of the USSR and the reform of secondary education associated with 11 years of schooling, the “Last Bell” line could be postponed until the very end of May, since classes at the final grades could continue.

In 2021, this solemn event was held 3-4 days earlier due to the coronavirus pandemic. In many Russian regions, due to the epidemiological situation, only graduates and their parents participated in the farewell lineup, since sanitary rules required a distance.

What the epidemiological situation will be in the late spring of next year is not yet clear. The authorities hope for a positive outlook, which is based on the fact that by the beginning of 2022 most Russians will be vaccinated against the coronavirus, which will reduce the overall level of epidemiological danger. In this case, restrictive measures will be lifted, and mass events will be held as usual.

The exact information about when there will be the last call in 2022 in Russian schools will appear only at the end of next April. If there are no emergencies in the country, the traditional farewell line will be held on the fourth Friday of May in full.

Parents and graduates should remember that in the USSR the 25th was approved by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR for all Soviet schools as the official date of the "Last Bell". Today, this date has not a mandatory, but a recommendatory status. According to the current Constitution, regional and municipal authorities have a certain degree of independence and can, if necessary, shift the time of the line for graduates and the "Last Call" ceremony.

In general, under normal conditions, this solemn ceremony in the capital, in St. Petersburg and in all cities and towns of the Russian Federation is held at almost the same time - from May 25 to May 28, depending on the day of the week. The management of most Russian schools try to time the May event at the end of the school week and hold a "Last Call" on the last Friday of May.

Next year, May 25 falls at the beginning of the week - Tuesday. Most likely, schools will hold the "Last Bell" in 2022 on Friday, 28th.

Traditions of the "Last Call" and the program of festive events

All graduates appreciate this slightly sad holiday, during which solemn events are held in the following order:

1. The whole school is lined up in the schoolyard around the perimeter of a square or rectangle by class.
2. The headmaster, head teacher, teachers and invited officials and guests of honor give parting speeches to the alumni.
3. A concert is being held, prepared by the efforts of students from different classes and the teaching staff.
4. A solemn procession, when graduating school students, dressed in full dress school uniforms, lead the first graders by the hand. A senior pupil sits a first grader on her shoulders, in whose hands a bell, goes a circle around the schoolyard, and the girl rings the bell at this time, reminding high school students about their last bell at school.

On this day, alumni may have informal celebrations after school in the afternoon. The Parents' Committee usually orders cafes, restaurants, places on pleasure boats, numbers at tourist centers to celebrate the last bell. A banquet and a dance program are prepared for graduates.
