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…248 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 -

Filter Attendance Recovery Bank by School Grade Range for Pre-Enrolled Students
The Attendance Recovery Bank currently displays pre-enrolled students whose current grade level falls outside the school’s configured grade range. For example, 6th grade students are appearing in a middle school Attendance Recovery Bank that should only include grades 7–8, and 8th grade students are appearing in a high school bank configured for grades 9–12.
Enhance the Attendance Recovery Bank logic to exclude pre-enrolled students when their current grade level is outside the school’s LOC grade range. This would help ensure the Attendance Recovery Bank only displays students appropriate for that school and reduce confusion during transition periods between elementary, middle,…2 votes -
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

Parent Reporting Attendance through Parent Portal
If Aeries could create attendance reporting enhancements that would allow for the following:
1.) Parents submitting attendance through their parent portal (This would also need to permit file uploads for doctor's appointments etc), it would eliminate needing to verify if a person submitting attendance is permitted or not. It would also be great to add a permission where absence reporting can be available for a student when they turn 18.
2.) A easy to use dashboard for attendance clerks to approve these submittals and mass fill in attendance codes either by period or all day.
3.) A feature should be…1 vote -

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.
