What's The Scoop In Canon-Mac?
What we've been up to in January 2023
Canon-McMillan Middle School Held Grand Opening on January 16th, 2023
Borland Manor Elementary Honored Local Law Enforcement with Fifth Annual Law Enforcement Luncheon
If you saw a number of police cars outside of Borland Manor Elementary on January 31st do not be alarmed. They were there in celebration!
This is the fifth year that Borland Manor Elementary School students, faculty, and PFO have honored local law enforcement with an Annual Law Enforcement Luncheon. This is the first in-person Law Enforcement Luncheon since before COVID. During COVID, Borland Manor still made the effort to provide grab and go lunches. Students made posters and cards to give thanks to local law enforcement for all that they do to protect our schools. Officers were able to enjoy a fantastic lunch and visit with the kids throughout the afternoon. Students even got to interact with and pet k-9 Officer Ripley!
"The value that our local police community brings to our students and families and our schools is indescribable. The men and women that have taken the oath to protect and serve are truly heroes. We proudly pay thanks to them and appreciate that they are truly a part of our school community."
Principal McConnell said.

F.I.D. vs. Snow Days
As you may or may not know, Canon-McMillan School District has been approved for five (5) Flexible Instructional Days (FIDs), which may be used in place of a school day that would be canceled because of inclement weather or another emergency situation. On a FID, students will complete remote instruction/learning activities and assignments provided by their teachers at home.
The benefit of implementing a FID is that it does not require additional make-up days when school is canceled, which could shorten the spring break or extend the school year. The District received approval for five (5) FIDs to use this school year if necessary.
How does the district determine if a Snow Day or a FID will be used?
If the district receives information that there will be inclement weather in advance then a FID will likely be used. If the inclement weather is unexpected then a Snow Day will likely occur. FIDs will be treated as asynchronous learning days, which means that lessons and instruction must be posted by 10:00 AM. Coursework can be completed at any point during the day as long as it is submitted the next school day.
Families were sent a survey to determine how many chromebooks would be needed should a FID occur. If you did not receive this survey please contact your building principal. If there are any additional questions regarding FIDs, please consult our Frequently Asked Questions link or contact your building principal.
