Stop mixing absent work and late work in the same pile
AssignClear separates absent work from missing and late-submitted work so teachers can use fair next actions instead of one blunt status.
Target Audience
Teachers with frequent absences, makeup work, and late policy exceptions
Real Classroom Struggles
A student was absent and should not be treated the same as a student who ignored the deadline.
The teacher needs a makeup-work deadline that differs from the original due date.
Parent communication should explain the category clearly and calmly.

Mark Absent Work when the cause is attendance.
Use Missing when the student was present but did not submit.
Move to Late Submitted once work arrives.
