Gradebook used to show "Absent Unexcused" or "Absent Excused" when you hovered over the "A" next to the assignment. Now it just shows "Absent when assigned" or "Absent when due" and this is not helpful to teachers who are deciding on whether to penalize for late work.
This is a request I hear from teachers frequently. Can you go back to showing whether the absence was excused or unexcused. ?
Many teachers have requested an attendance summary in the students' gradebook view.
