Truancy (Attendance) Letters Based on Age
The truancy 1, 2, and 3 letters are generated at the school sites. In previous years, we have kept only students grades 1-12 to receive the truancy letters. To stay compliant, we must include students who are 6 years old and older to receive these letters.
Since this would be based on a student's 6th birthday and accounting for absences to generate letters AFTER their 6th birthday.
What would be the best approach or query(ies) to do this since we cannot send a letter to a student who just turned six who is qualified to receive letters... when the student…

Teacher Attendance - Highlight the Attendance row when selected
In Aeries Gradebook, when you click on a student's name, or hover over the entire row of that student is highlighted/made darker.
Is there any way that that could happen in Attendance? When you hover on a student of when you click on an "Absent", and "N", or even "D", there is no change in the color of that student's row.
I know that for me, it is easier to keep the marks for a particular student specifically for that student if his/her row is highlighted.4 votes -
Bell Schedule - Copy to Multiple Days
It would be helpful in some situations, such as when schools may fluctuate between schedules due to the pandemic, to be able to quickly copy a single bell schedule to multiple days at once instead of having to set the schedule one day at a time. Being able to multi-select days by either control-click, checkbox, or some kind of "copy to all subsequent regular days of same name" (so all following mondays, or tuesdays, etc as the currently selected day) would be great.
Thank you!

make the lunch count field required for all of our K-5 sites
Is it possible to make the lunch count field required for all of our K-5 sites?
I have checked our portal options and I see that we have the field enabled; however, I can't seen to figure out if there is a way to make this field required.1 vote -
Attendance Management - Mass Add Attendance Notes Without Absence
Currently, the Attendance Management screen can add absences with or without notes, but you cannot do the inverse and add only notes without an absence code. Since we are using notes to track engagement, this means that clerks have a difficult time adding notes for classes.

Display Student Class Schedule next to Attendance record
I am an attendance clerk at a high school. Typically the students have six teachers. There is a large blank space next to the student's attendance record where you can place the schedule. This would make things much more efficient for us. We currently have to go back and forth from attendance page to schedule page all day yet there is sufficient space next to attendance to add the student's schedule of classes. As attendance clerks, we have to make corrections to teacher errors all day. This would make this process more efficient.

Improve Functionality of Teacher Attendance Mass Apply
Here are three changes that would improve the usability of the new Mass Apply feature for attendance:
1) Having the menu hidden by default is a nuisance for a teacher who has to use it 7 times a day. There should be an option to have the filter open by default. Perhaps a checkbox?
2) The filter should remember the last setting used. For example if a teacher is filtering for a specific cohort that corresponds with a day the week, they would only have to set the filter up once at the start of the day instead of 7…6 votes -

Missing Attendance - Add Different time stamps for Attendance Submission
Our elementary schools are set up with AM and PM sessions. Each teacher has two teacher records, one for AM and one for PM. When taking attendance, both sessions are time-stamped with the same AM time-stamp. For security issues, our office staff needs to know when the teacher has taken attendance for the PM session.

Add STU Fields to Attendance Reports
As we have a variety of attendance options for students currently that vary daily, making attendance calls depends on knowing if the student is on campus that particular day. Our district keeps that data in STU.U12, and it would be extremely helpful to be able to pull up on attendance reports.
Student safety dictates that we begin with students who should be on campus, but are not. Currently we are expending a great deal of time cross referencing lists or using KEEP queries to run absence list by attendance hybrid type (we have 8 possible...)

Attendance Percent by Period Report
We are seeking a report to identify attendance percent by period. This would be useful to have the ability to utilize for all students/teachers/groups. Currently, we can pull absences by period, however determining present percent based on dates of class meeting and so many schedules is not something that someone not versed in SQL can easily access.
