Attendance Recovery 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…247 votes4/2/26 - Recent updates to Attendance Recovery
Yesterday’s release contained quite a few items related to Attendance Recovery that we wanted to bring to your attention:
- We’ve updated our Workflow AR document to make it clear about new set-up tasks that must be completed in order for the process to function properly.
- A new District Setting for ADA Make-Up has been added and must be defined in order to enable this new functionality.
- A new field (ATT.AMU) has been added to store Attendance Minutes Utilized when ADA Make-Up is applied for Attendance Recovery.
- Minutes will be auto-calculated based on the student's Special Ed Alternate Minimum Day, school type, or grade level, depending on which applies.
- We will be adding a process soon to automatically update the ATT.AMU field for any existing absences previously recovered via AR.
- We’ve added the Attendance Recovery Bank page that provides a read-only view of each…

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.27 votes -

Keep Over‑Recovered Students Visible in Attendance Recovery Bank
Currently, when a student recovers more attendance minutes or absences than they are eligible for, their record can disappear from the Attendance Recovery Bank (ARB). This makes it difficult for schools and districts to identify and correct attendance recovery issues.
This idea proposes keeping all students visible on the ARB page, even when Total Attendance Minutes Available (TMA) or Total Recoverable Absences Available (TAA) become negative. Negative values would be clearly highlighted in red and explained with tooltips, helping administrators quickly spot over-recovery situations, understand why they occurred, and take corrective action without losing visibility into the student’s data.

Allow Attendance Recovery (ARB.TRV) to Display on SBG & GRD Report Cards
Districts using Attendance Recovery rely on the ARB table (specifically ARB.TRV) to track recovered absences or hours. Currently, there is no built‑in way to display recovered attendance totals on Standards‑Based (SBG) or GRD report cards.
Parents, students, and administrators need clear visibility into recovered attendance applied during a term. Districts are currently forced to use custom text/comment fields populated via query or import, which is error‑prone and not scalable.
Requested Solution:
Expose ARB attendance recovery totals (TRV) as selectable report card fields
Allow filtering by term or date range
Support both SBG and GRD report card engines

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 -
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.

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.…
