Two Manchester High School students are accused of changing grades and attendance records.

Just like a scene out of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” two Manchester high school students are accused of changing grades. 

The clever kids apparently watched a school administrator log into the system, recorded the username and password used, then accessed the system and changed various grades and attendance records, police said. 
 
Manchester police are still investigating the incident and no charges have been filed.
 
Police aren't saying which grades were changed or how many students' attendance records were improved.
 
Of course, those students were not born yet when "Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” but it's possible they saw it on a classic movie channel.
