I would love to see an "incomplete" status available. I understand that would have to be individually changed by the teacher, but it would be very helpful in communicating with parents.
Another idea could be user-defined statuses. I know that many grade book systems in student information systems allow for teacher-created statuses. My district has statuses such as Absent, Redone, Can be redone, Differentiated.
