What is the attendance policy?
If a child is absent for more than 5 days and the family has not notified the school, teachers are required to fill out an A-8 report on a child. If a child has 5 consecutive unexcused absences (this includes vacations) the child may lose his/her seat at Vartan Gregorian. When they return, they will need to report with a parent to re-register at the student registration center. Students with chronic attendance issues will be referred to the building attendance team and if necessary, to a truancy hearing.
