    Hi Fellow ML Teachers,

    I’m just curious what you all do with your classes during inclement weather. We have a snow day here in Denver, all the schools are closed, etc. Next week is spring break and I don’t have any lee-way to have a make up class. I don’t have a set policy for this situation, and was wondering what you all do. Do I go ahead and have class, and accept that half of the people won’t be able to come? Or cancel and refund?

    Thanks,
    Jennifer in white Denver

    Can you just extend your session by one week? I haven’t had to cancel
    a class, but I say on the schedule that I send out that I cannot
    provide make-up classes for those missed by the student, and if I need
    to cancel a class, I will add an extra one at the end of the session.
    If it’s a snow day in Denver, I would think it’s pretty serious.
    Personally, I would cancel.

    Hi Jennifer,
    I would also cancel the class and extend the unit or offer a make- up
    class on another day. That’s what I do when I am sick. I always tell
    the parents in the first class of the unit, on which days I won’t
    teach. For example I always teach on days like Columbus Day or
    President’s Day, but I won’t teach during spring break, because a lot
    of students might be on a vacation.
    Good luck!
    Susanne
