Attendance Recovery Block Hour Tracking & Reporting
CDE new mandate requires that students may only earn attendance recovery minutes in full one-hour increments. Fractions of an hour are not eligible to be counted toward recovery. This creates a challenge when tracking student participation. Current Aeries functionality does not automatically differentiate between “time attended” and “time eligible for recovery credit.”
1. Apply CDE Hour-Block Rule – System calculates and credits only full hours toward recovery.
Example: 35 minutes = 0 hours earned; 1 hour 45 minutes = 1 hour earned; 2 hours 55 minutes = 2 hours earned
2. Flag Eligible vs. Ineligible Time – Store both sets…215 votes -
Restrict Calendar Modifications Post-Attendance Initialization
Currently, users are able to bypass system warnings and proceed with Calendar changes even after attendance has been initialized for the academic year. This behavior creates inaccuracies in pre-existing attendance data.
To safeguard data integrity, please enhance the system to strictly prevent any modifications to Calendar dates once attendance has been initialized. This restriction will ensure that critical attendance data remains accurate and consistent throughout the year.22 votes -

District Attendance Letters - Letter Option Print All Prior Letter Dates
When running District Attendance Letters for the first time in the school year, users may encounter a "No Letters Found" error if the "Include Prior Dates" option is selected. This occurs because no prior letters exist yet for the current year.
To improve user experience and reduce confusion, please consider enhancing the message associated with this option to:
Inform users that no prior dates are available when running letters for the first time.
Recommend that users uncheck the option to proceed successfully.
This enhancement would help clarify the behavior and guide users toward the correct setup, especially at the beginning…2 votes -
TX: Attendance Enrollment Track Field
When a district has selected to locally define Tracks for the STU.TR field, the Track field on the Attendance Enrollment page should only display locally defined track codes and descriptions and none of the fixed codes used for other reporting purposes.

Attendance by photo
Put a line between students on attendance by photo, not a line over A/T. Visually it's very messy and causes errors.

Create a Management page for the Student Attendance Percentage by Date Settings
Currently, the Attendance Percentage by Date Settings only allows you to update the date range one student at a time or by using a change query.
To allow the sites the flexibility to use these amazing Attendance pages an update all students button or something similar for sites to use, would be useful.
Our sites would like to use these by week, month, and not always from the beginning of the year to a specific date.
I currently have a request to change the dates every month. They want to see the data month to month to see if students…17 votes -

On the classroom attendance page , if there would be a section/button next to the teachers names to send a notification that there attendance is missing or not complete. They could get an email sent to them. it would avoid having to reach out and disrupt classroom time.

Include an absence percentage in Attendance Percentage by Date Range (APDR) table
Currently, the APDR page shows the students' percentage of attending school. Adding the percentage the student has not attended would be beneficial in regards to Chronic Absenteeism, CALPADS EOY report 14.1, which focuses on the percentage of days missed or, at the very least, allow query to calculate it using the APDR.APR. Currently, it does not.
Aeries Analytics does have the Chronic report, but that only focuses on 10% or more and does not break it down as needed in the EOY report 14.1. If we create our own Analytics dashboard (as I have), it does not include inactive students.…

Enhance Attendance Initialization to Support TRM Dates with Staff Development Waiver Minutes
The attendance initialization process does not currently accommodate Teacher Only days with waiver minutes as valid TRM start or end dates. This leads to a conflict where such dates are excluded from reporting entities unless manually adjusted. For PEIMS state reporting, it is critical that any calendar dates contributing to Operational, Instructional, or Waiver minutes are included within both the school calendar range and the begin/end dates of each six-week attendance reporting period.

Include a Summary Count of Attendance Note Code usage on Attendance Page
Add a summary count of Attendance Note code usage - similar to the AL code counts on this page already.
This would be useful for attendance clerks to quickly see how often a particular code has been used for a student.
Specifically, parents are allowed up to 10 excused absences before a doctor's note is required. Any instances in which a doctors note is provided do not count against that 10 allowance. Having the summary count would allow for quick check if the allowance of 10 excused (non-physician noted) has been exhausted.1 vote -
Attendance By seating chart - Improve UI feedback of the click
In the attendance by seating chart functionality the click selection feed back may benefit from slight improvement. When hovering over the selection the choice highlights in a light green. When clicked it changes to only a slightly darker shade of green. This slight shade difference, in combination with the delay in clicking and choice selection indication, causes confusion to the end user. Perhaps a different color or maybe just outlined circle when hovering would contrast more prominently with the filled in or darker shaded green after click/selection. We have noticed end users clicking multiple times, often selecting and then de-selecting…

Weekly Attendance Verification through Aeries
Our school currently uses DocuSign to have the teachers verify their weekly attendance reports. It would be nice to be able to have the teachers verify and sign their weekly attendance through Aeries and have a record of their signed reports in one place rather than over different data systems. Ideally, there'd be a way to have a pop-up notification that opens when the teachers log into Aeries that reminds them to sign the report once its been generated by the Attendance Coordinator. I think being able to generate the Weekly ATT Reports and run reports on who hasn't submitted…

Ability to change the attendance screen
Would like the ability to move the attendance codes to the right of the screen instead of below attendance so we can get a quick snapshot of the attendance codes. We have a certain number of some of the codes that are allowed, it would be great to be able to see that quicker than having to scroll down to see it. Will help to avoid going over the capped number of say illnesses that we have set.
