A Note from Principal Sage

BMS Families,

We are quickly approaching the end of the 1st Trimester. This will occur on November 30th. Please make sure to find some time to check learning levels in Campus Portal. I have posted directions on how to do that below if you are in need of a refresher. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. As a reminder, there will be no school Nov 22nd - November 24th because of Thanksgiving break.

We are nearly a third of the way through the school year. I am extremely grateful for our learners, staff and community. I am proud of our learners academic success and am excited to watch them grow even more.

As a result of the break, there will be no Boeckman Buzz next week.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving break!

-Joe Sage, Principal

ISD 192 Federated Managed Apple IDs

ISD 192 is preparing to use Federated Managed Apple IDs. This means that by mid-January 2024, only Farmington Area Public Schools will be able to create and use Apple IDs using email addresses with @isd192.org. IF your child is currently using their district @isd192.org email address for a personal Apple ID login, they will need to change the email address to a personal email address to continue to use this Apple ID. The individual’s data and purchases will remain with the Apple ID account. Only the email used with the Apple ID will be updated. This only impacts Apple IDs currently using an ISD 192 district email address.

Apple will be sending email notices with instructions to update Apple IDs using a district emailletting individuals know they will need to change the email address used with their Apple ID. As a convenience, instructions are also available from the “iPad First Aid” web clip icon on district iPads.

Please know that Apple IDs are created and managed by Apple. ISD 192 is not able to recover or troubleshoot personal Apple IDs. In compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), Apple allows children over the age of 13 to create an Apple ID. If a child is under the age of 13, Apple has a instructions on how parents/guardians may create and manage an Apple ID for their child.

Attendance Line

If a student will be absent, a parent/guardian must call Boeckman Middle School’s attendance line at 651-460-1405 prior to 9:45 AM each day of the absence. We ask that parents/guardians provide the reason for the absence at the time they call. The school determines if the absence falls within the excused or unexcused parameters. If the school does not receive a call from the parent/guardian the day of the absence, the student’s absence is automatically unexcused.
