Attendance
Farmington School District 192 and Boeckman Middle school are obligated to follow the Minnesota Law on School Attendance until age 18. The Farmington Board of Education and administration believe that it is the student’s right and responsibility to be present in school.
Boeckman Middle School encourages daily and regular student attendance. The school recognizes that school attendance is a shared responsibility by the student, parent, and school. Students who attend school are best prepared to perform successfully academically and socially. Research shows that academic performance and student engagement in school is directly related to college performance and later success in life.
BMS supports all components within the District Student Attendance Policies and Regulations.

Contacting the School
If a student will be absent, a parent/guardian must contact Boeckman Middle School by 9:45 AM each day of the absence. You may do either of the following options to contact the school:
- Complete an attendance form, linked here
OR
- Call the attendance line at 651-460-1405
We ask that parents/guardians provide the reason for the absence. The school determines if the absence falls within the excused or unexcused parameters. If the school does not receive communication from the parent/guardian, the student’s absence is automatically unexcused.
