Attendance notes for Absent Due and Absent Assigned
In Grade Book on a student's progress channel there are notes for Absent Due and Absent Assigned. However, if a student is not absent but is actually tardy these notes are confusing to parents. I would like an option to be more specific in the notes on the progress channel.

It is confusing for students and parents to see the note "Absent when assigned" or "Absent when due" when it was really a tardy. That needs to be distinguished in the notes for parents as it is in the gradebook (where it shows either T or A).
Commenting again that we really want this feature to be something we can turn on and off - not be forced to use. Most of our teachers really dislike all the "A"'s cluttering their gradebook
Please let this be something we can turn on and off. It is a real pain point for many of our teachers!
The "A" indicator really should be an optional feature that people can turn on and off. Teachers and students, as well as parents, are finding this confusing.
Love the visual indicators in the grade book but would prefer to have the tardy show as tardy as it does cause a bit of confusion for all concerned and the reaction of our teachers becomes to not enter the tardy. Creating an unwanted benefit for our students :) . I would love to see the indicator correctly showing a T for Tardy and a A for absence or leave of any indicator there when tardy.
Yes! Well, in the new grade book, if a student is marked late, an "A" appears. Instead of A for absent, it should be T for Tardy or L for late--or nothing at all. (Added as a separate case:
