Make missing and late labels independent from each other.

[jward19]

In the new Standards Based Grading Models, submitting work late is not seen as an issue.  However, having a due date and a missing label is helpful for students to stay on track.  I have parents and students who are frustrated that having completed an assignment, there is still a red label on it as if it's a problem.  It's not a problem.  The previous grading platform we used treated all statuses (late, excused, missing, etc. as independent from each other and able to be assigned separately for each type of assignment or submission.  Statuses could also be applied globally if desired.  I really miss those features!

"LATE" assignment markers are imposing with the same red bubble.

The MISSING assignment red bubble is important for students to see, but it would be better to change the color of the LATE marker to ORANGE and transparent like the current logo, but not red.

There needs to be a clearer differentiation between those grade book markers than red and clear red. Late assignments should not be penalized with RED marks.

I say change LATE logo markers with Orange outlines.
