How to Override Attendance taken by a Teacher

Sometimes an administrator has to override attendance taken by a teacher. An example would be that a student was marked absent by the teacher, but the student was actually out sick and returned with a doctor's note. So the administrator had to go into the system and change the attendance from Absent to Excused Absence.

To do this, login as an administrator and navigate to Attendance >> Administration.

In this example, the Teacher has marked the student absent on March 1st. To override the attendance, the administrator selected the Attendance Date, Attendance Code, selected the Student and changed the Attendance from Absent to Excused Absence. Finally the administrator added a Comment by clicking on the comment blurb icon and updated the screen.
