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.
