Snow Day Predictor Anoka-Hennepin School District
Anoka-Hennepin School District #11 is one of Minnesota's largest school districts, and unlike a single-city district, one district-wide decision applies to all Anoka-Hennepin schools located across the 13 communities it fully or partially serves, not a separate call for each city.
Where Anoka-Hennepin actually reaches
The district serves approximately 38,000 students and 248,000 residents across 172 square miles north of Minneapolis and St. Paul, covering all of Anoka, Champlin, and Coon Rapids, plus portions of Andover, Blaine, Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Dayton, Fridley, Ham Lake, Nowthen, Oak Grove, and Ramsey, according to Anoka-Hennepin's own official About page . If you live in one of the three fully-covered communities, or in the Anoka-Hennepin portion of one of the partially-covered ones, your school's closure decision comes from the district as a whole, not a separate city government.
How the extreme cold decision works
Anoka-Hennepin's own published cold weather policy says the district will likely close when the National Weather Service issues an extreme cold warning indicating exposed skin can become frostbitten in less than ten minutes. See our wind chill school closures page for the full sourced detail on this threshold, including how it compares to Duluth's, Minneapolis's, and St. Paul's separate cold-weather triggers.
Real closures alongside Minneapolis and St. Paul
In January 2025, Anoka-Hennepin closed on the same day as Minneapolis and St. Paul Public Schools, as an extreme cold watch brought forecast wind chills near -35°F in the Twin Cities metro and -45°F in Greater Minnesota . Because Anoka-Hennepin is a single district, this closure applied uniformly across the communities it serves, unlike Ontario's zone-based systems where a decision can apply to only part of a service area.
