Severe Weather Cancellations

When weather conditions make travel to or from our co-op inadvisable/unsafe, our Leadership Team will announce in the member forum if classes are cancelled by 8:00 AM.

In general, Planet Homeschool’s Leadership Team will look to local school districts for guidance with these decisions. They especially consider St. Anthony-New Brighton School District (ISD 282, the district where our building is located), as well as Minneapolis Public Schools and Saint Paul Public Schools.

Communications

If a decision is made to cancel classes, that decision will be announced via a post to our co-op’s forum.

Once that forum announcement has been posted, the Leadership Team will repeat that announcement in the following places:

• An announcement on our co-op’s homepage
• An Admin Email sent to all families. 

Classes

If a decision is made to cancel classes, instructors are encouraged to e-mail their students their assignments for the following week.

Some instructors may choose to host an online class meeting, but instructors are neither required nor expected to have access to the necessary resources to do this.

Spring Semester’s Bad Weather Make-Up Day

Canceled Fall Semester or Winter Term classes will not be made up as our lease with Faith UMC does not allow us to extend our Fall Semester or Winter Term schedule.

A single canceled Spring Semester day can be made up as our lease with Faith UMC does allow us to extend our Spring Semester schedule by one week. Both families and instructors should plan to be available for our co-op’s scheduled Make-Up Day.
