Update Attendance automatically based on Assertive Discipline suspension
When an Admin inputs a suspension within a student's Assertive Discipline, which notates the number of days the student is suspended and what dates, is there a way to make that automatically populate "S" as the all-day attendance code in that student's attendance? The student's attendance isn't always updated that day for suspensions. Then an attendance notification will out to the parent asking why the student was absent which would have been because they were suspended.
Thank you for your help.

There are some situations where attendance should not change.
For example, when an elementary student is suspended 5 minutes into the class day. In that situation, the student is suspended for a full day but since he/she was in class, we do not lose that ADA. Since there are situations like that, I would prefer some sort of trigger or alert on the ADS page notifying the user that a suspension has been entered without corresponding attendance. That way the user can then make the appropriate attendance updates.
