When a student is tardy, the grade book displays the Absence indicator, even though the student was present for most of the period. We would like to be able to turn off attendance flags in the grade book by attendance category under onRecord>Settings>Attendance. That way absences would show up with assignments, but tardies would not.
I agree, students are becoming worried that they are being marked as "absent" when work is assigned when they are in class and teachers are checking in with me thinking the attendance is incorrect.
