The teacher will have a note somewhere in the form on additional info like the above cases. The same holds true with am cutting classes, pm absent, where the X is typed on the left, the cutting class shape placed on the right.

I'd be a bit wary of this plan. You have a system where the upper left half of a cell is always the morning, and the lower right always the afternoon. Now you have to make an exception if there's a red triangle: you don't know if the lateness is in the morning or not, you don't know if the cutting classes is in the morning or not, the absenteeism could be morning or afternoon. I'd strongly recommend not doing this.
There are plenty of ways to indicate things in the cells while keeping the am/pm layout correct.
It looks as if cutting classes could be split am/pm, or perhaps you're happy for this to be represented without am/pm information? Either way there are plenty of ways you might represent this in a cell - it's down to your imagination.
For example, you might use one of these to show the student has been cuttting classes sometime on a day (no am/pm nformation):




Instead, you could keep am/pm information this way:


It's fairly obvious what's happening.
