  2. Create virtual "Course Section IDs" in (CRSC) and (SCSC) For more transcript hand entries

    Please add a 'trigger' field to create virtual Course Section IDs for other courses. (Just like the process that allows Aeries to create virtual Course Section IDs for Dual Credit courses that are hand entered onto the transcripts) And, add the fields to HIS (like you did for SDE) that can be populated for differing attributes depending on the circumstances. For Example: A course taken in an Independent Study program may be Distance Learning, or may not - the DLI field should be available. The MST would have indicated the differences in ESR, LI, INS, FS, TEP, ISI, DLI, OIT,…

  3. Add LIP special program records automatically

    Currently, we have a SQL script that generates 301 LIP program records for all students enrolled in our Dual Immersion charter school and 305 LIP records for all EL students at all of our other schools. Then it adds an end date to the 305 LIP record when the student is RFEP'd. It would be nice if we could do this within Aeries instead of relying on a SQL script.

  4. Would it be possible to add the ability to view Other District Enrollment data when going through the SSID match process?

    Would it be possible to add the ability to view ODE data when going through the SSID match process? This would be very helpful to me since that window needs to be viewed to find out where the student previously attended school in order to assign the SSID.

  5. CALPADS SENR and SPRG ODS Process for Multiple CDS codes

    Modify the CALPADS SENR and SPRG ODS process to allow uploading multiple schools with different CDS codes within one Aeries database. This would help Charter schools and COEs.

  6. SINF - ODS reconciliation - CALPADS extract

    The 8.25.22 SENR ODS reconciliation extract process is pretty nice!

    It would be nice if something similar could be done for the SINF. Right now we have to extract the full history of changes (8,000+ records as of right now for us) and this will only continue to grow.

    Recent experience shows that even after the redesign, the larger the file .... THE LONGER CALPADS takes to process the file.

  7. SENR Reconciliation for Prior Years

    Please add an option to reconcile SENR for prior years using the existing SENR ODS Reconciliation system/logic. Currently, when making adjustments to past enrollment data (ie. family claimed to be moving to another CA district but left the state instead, causing an ERD), the adjustments need to be made manually in both Aeries and CALPADS. We'd like to be able to only make the changes in Aeries and use the standard reconciliation process.

  8. SINF Extract Filter date

    We used to have a date filter option (on the previous CALPADS extract page)

    Extract Only Data Changes:
    Include any changes from the Date: _____ until now.

    The challenge we are facing is that the SINF file continues to grow. We have gone from 9000 records in mid-September to now 13,500 records. The file will only continue to grow as we progress through the year.

    The time to process files in CALPADS is correlated to their size (number of records). So, the file will take longer and longer to process as the school year progresses.
    Most of that time will…

  9. SINF Contact for Restricted Contacts

    Can there be a way to pull a Restricted Contact (CON.CD) into the SINF extract for Parent/Guardian Name/Ed Level? Some parents are considered restricted but they still have ed rights and should be included with the SINF extract even if they are coded as R-Restricted.

  10. Exclude record from SDEM flag for STF records

    It would be ideal if there was a flag for excluding certain STF records from being pulled in SDEM files. We now have virtually all staff records in Aeries for ParentSquare, which we use for COVID daily screening, and we need a better way to exclude classified staff and sub teachers who have SEIDs. We have more of these than you might think, as many people got a SEID as a sub or they failed a credentialing program and now work in classified roles, like Instructional Assistants or Clerical staff. Right now we load all staff data from Escape (HRIS),…

  11. CALPADS Report Needed - Teacher Course Qualification Listing

    In order to assist schools in properly assigning teachers to courses and section in a way that is compatible with state credentialing requirements, a new report in Aeries must be created to display Course (and maybe Section) information alongside staff information (including SEID). This report would mimic the CALPADS Fall 2 4.3 so that LEAs can get a jump on assignment monitoring.

  12. Auto create 113 CA Partnership Academy special program records based on Course Attendance

    Currently, we have a SQL script that generates a 113 CA Partnership Academy special program record for all students with Course Attendance in specified courses. It would be nice to be able to do this within Aeries rather than relying on a SQL script.

    This is a CALPADS bug on their end. They DO intend to allow these special characters again, so we will not be changing our process at this time. If the 

    SINF update is needed, the customer either needs to make it manually in OM, or remove the offending characters from Aeries, but ALSO delete the CALPADS log entries for that change (the ones that contain the offending characters) so they won't be extracted also.

  14. Don't make auto close enrollment E155 default

    Can you make this setting have the ability to be save if unchecked. There are many reasons why I don't want the system to auto close an enrollment due to SINR, SIRS and SOFF files that won't post if uploaded against a close enrollment. It's a pain to try and remember to uncheck it every time I go in to the extracts page..

  16. Add SELA ODS language to LAC table/Language Assessment page

    Add a field to Language Assessment page (LAC table) for SELA ODS language, next to EAC and EAD, so that we could see the language in the SELA ODS file for those students that have a discrepancy in language. The biggest reason for this is those students that we have marked EO, but are not EO in CALPADS. Right now we have to lookup each student in CALPADS to find their language, even though it's in the SELA ODS extract.

  17. Include Unaccompanied Youth Indicator in Residence Survey Audit Tool

    The Residence Survey Audit Tool is incomplete. As it currently stands, it adds a whole bunch of 191 records that are missing a State Required Field (Unaccompanied Youth Indicator), thus resulting in fatal errors when sending up the SPRG. For this tool to be really effective and time-saving, the Unaccompanied Youth indicator needs to be included. Maybe auto-populate it as a N and then we can go in and change the the Ys? Or include an option for the person completing the Audit to indicate a Y or N for Unaccompanied Youth.

  18. CALPADS Extract Pull From LSI.GN

    Can we please have the extract pull from the LSI.GN field if the student has data populated in that field? It makes sense to extract from that field, particularly since if the LIS.LLN and LSI.LFN is populated that data gets extracted. We have a student (and surely more to come) that identify as a different gender. Populating the STU.GN with the students preferred gender is causing CALPADS fatal errors.

    CALPADS STAS Extract - If a single database has multiple CDS Codes used for reporting - When a virtual school houses students tagged with a Reporting Home School, and CALPADS Extract School Options are set to a specific school, the STAS file may include other student attendance data from CDS Codes that were not selected in the extract.

  20. Ability to extract specific programs when pulling the SPRG

    In Powerschool, you have the ability to specify which Programs (PGM) you want to extract when running the SPRG. This way, if you are fixing or adding a whole bunch of 192 records, you can pull a SPRG extract for only the 192 records. This will make the file smaller (nicer for CALPADS) and will allow us to be more concentrated in our data reconciliation. You shouldn't have to pull all programs all the time...It's unnecessary and can result in errors.
