But he did get a certificate and hand shakes like every other student there.

That’s pretty messed up. I hope they profusely apologized.

I’ll raise you one. My son missed his 6th grade promotion due to getting Covid and the teacher didn’t even call his name or acknowledge him in any way at the ceremony.

That is also pretty bad but at least he wasn't there.

I suppose you have never been to a high school graduation in FCPS? They do not call out the names of absent kids. This is not unique in school ceremonies across the country.

Why do think they should call his name if he is absent? Were you there and expecting to get his certificate on his behalf?

First of all, it’s 6th grade and not an actual graduation with 1,000s of kids. I suspect they don’t read absent names at a real graduation due to time constraints. There was no reason not to acknowledge him at this promotion ceremony, considering it was not his fault he couldn’t go.

This happens all the time at 6th grade promotion ceremonies. If the kid is absent, then they do not call the name.

Absent kids are never read at any level. Why is that upsetting?

I suppose if you showed up to hear his name and they didn't read it, that would be disappointing, but I don't know why you would go if your kid was home sick.
