  1. Allow teachers to mass add attendance codes in the Teacher Portal Attendance page

    For the 2020-2021 school year, schools are adding 'Engagement" attendance codes for teachers to mark for every students. This is in accordance with the new SB-98 CA legislation.

    This idea was provided during the LACOE Attendance Symposium on 8/13/20. Teachers would like the ability to select a particular engagement attendance code and mass add it to all students then if needed, deselect appropriate individual students when appropriate thus saving time selecting codes for each individual student.

    Similar to how teachers mass add assignment results in the Aeries Gradebook.

    Hello, this issue has been resolved in the 02/15/22 update.  Here are the Revision Notes:


    CALPADS Extracts - The SENR extract has been adjusted as it could include students, from the inactive school, who withdrew during the summer (exit reason 470) but had a home school code that was selected to extract.

  4. LTEL Import needs to be updated for the new file format

    The full state Long-Term English Learner (LTEL) file from the California Department of Education has changed formats from the previous year. The file is unable to be processed in Aeries in the new format in the LTEL Import function.

    Programming needs to adjust the LTEL Import process.

    Hello, this issue has been resolved with the 9/24/2020 update. Here are the Revision Notes:

    CALPADS Extracts – The LTEL Import has been updated to handle the new Long-Term English Learner file. The file is now a fixed-width file, instead of the tab-delimited from previous years, and has an additional column. The import will no longer support files from previous years.

  5. Attendance Management-Periods listed for Notes are not matching calendar for date selected if a custom date is assigned

    When selecting to Mass Add a note for a date with a bell schedule that is different then the current date, the period selector under Notes is not adjusting to also look at the same bell schedule, it appears to only be looking at the bell schedule for the current date only. Adjust to display the same period list based on Bell Schedule of selected date.

  8. Contacts - Drag and Drop Sort Order

    Update the Contacts table so we can use drag and drop to change the contact sort order. Many of our students have their parents listed as contact #7 or #8 and we'd like to be able to drag them to the top of the list rather than having to manually update the sort order for each record.

    This Aeries Idea has been completed with the 4/30/2021 update. Here are the Revision Notes:

    Contacts – The contacts page has been enhanced to use drag and drop sorting for changing Contact Order.

  9. Online Enrollment - Allow the use of dates instead of ages to determine if student is able to enroll.

    Online Enrollment. Request to have the Enrollment Age Limits changed from age to birthdates. Even the option to use age and/or birthdate. A birthdate would assist in input errors or allowing parents to continue the process for students who are too young.

    Hello, the idea (or bug) has been completed in the 12/1/2022 update.  Here are the Revision Notes:


    Online Enrollment - Student age was calculated relative to the current date instead of the first day of the registration year, fixed. See Aeries Online Enrollment Parent Process


    Online Enrollment for CA

    • The Enforce TK Birth Dates option was added allowing admin users to prevent a student from being enrolled in Transitional Kindergarten if their birth date does not fall within CDE eligibility guidelines. See Aeries Online Enrollment Admin Settings
    • The grade level estimation for Transitional Kindergarten now reflects the latest CDE guidelines.
  10. CALPADS-N470-NoShow records should populate day before enrollment date, NOT day before school starts

    When I extract an SENR file - Extract all data this Year, students who have an SSID number AND are N470 extract in the file. When they are extracted Aeries changes their SWR/Leave date to one day prior to the first day of school according to the school calendar. However, when Aeries changes the enrollment date the SPED record no longer aligns with the enrollment date and it causes a problem every time.

    I will resolve this on my end by removing the SSID number for the student. This will prevent the record from being extracted.

    Surely, I'm not the…

    Hello, the idea (or bug) has been completed in the 9/28/2023 update.  Here are the Revision Notes:


    CALPADS Extracts (SENR) - For California users, for No Show students, the Enrollment Update now extracts the date one day prior to the summer withdrawal date (STU.SWD) if that date is after the first day of school.

  11. Demographics - Online Enrollment Import - Sort by Enroll Date

    Set the Student Import Screen to sort by "Enroll Date" not "Enroll ID". It's difficult to find the most recently enrolled student when you have a huge list of enrollees sitting in the import screen.

    If that is not doable then give the option of sorting by "Enroll Date".

  14. Revision Notes Review

    It would be nice if there was a weekly meeting to demonstrate revision notes or explain functionality changes (by region). This way all users have an opportunity to see how new features work or hear the benefits at the same time. Customers would benefit from a regularly scheduled Revision Notes meeting. Otherwise, Aeries team has to field individual tickets from individual customers (maybe more at one site) to explain individual features when they don't understand or when the knowledgebase has not been updated.

  15. Weekly Engagement Report error for Elem w/MST Daily ATT

    For Elem w/MST using Daily Attendance, on the Instructional Minutes Certification page, all the departmentalized sections appear for the teacher to certify. However on the Weekly Engagement Report, only the section taking Daily Attendance is visible. All the sections need to appear on the report.

  16. Ability to have both Standards Based Grading and Regular Grading in a K-8 School with period attendance.

    We have a K-8 School that uses period attendance. The k-3 students only have 1 teacher for period 0. They would need to enter grades using Standards based Grading. However the remainder of the school grades 4-8 use regular grading. We would like the ability to offer both in one school based on grade level. The only alternative right now would be splitting the school up into 2 different school sites, which is a logistical nightmare for both reports, integrations, etc.

    Hello! This feature has been added as of the 6/17/2021 Aeries version! Here is the revision note:
    School Options
    Options were added to allow doing both Elementary Standards Based Grading (SBG) and Secondary Grade Reporting (GRD) in the same school and to define the grades that each apply to. These options are for future use in Aeries.

  17. 504 Plan should have option to not auto close and keep it open.

    Currently, Aeries will generate end date of 504 plan every year and generate a new open date at the beginning of the year. I would like to have the option to not close automatically and keep the plan open.
    The most recent CALPADS dataguide says that 504 plan doesn't have to close every year.

    Hello, this issue has been resolved in the 03/18/22 update.  Here are the Revision Notes:

    CALPADS Extracts
    An option was added under Other Options to allow closing (default) or leaving open the 504 program records. Previously the program was closed thirty days prior to the end of the school year. See CALPADS Extracts - Other Options Tab
    The SPRG ODS process was updated to handle the reconciliation of 504 programs (program code 101) as an eligibility program. See CALPADS Extracts - SPRG ODS Reconciliation

  18. Weekly Instructional Minutes - Allow Long-Term Subs to certify

    Long-Term subs need the ability to certify the Weekly Instructional Minutes page since they are the ones instructing students at this time and tracking the participation in Attendance.

    Hello, this item has been completed in the 2/19/21 Out-Of-Band Update. Here are the Revision Notes:
    CALPADS Extracts

    1) A new setting was added under Other Options to force Parent/Guardian information (SINF/SIAD) to be extracted exclusively from STU.PG and STU.PED. The option is deselected by default. See CALPADS Extracts – Other Options Tab

    2) The Parent/Guardian Highest Education Level will always be pulled from STU.PED, even when processing Guardian information from the CON table. This will remain in place until CALPADS changes the SINF file layout in preparation for 22-23.

  20. Internships - Add CALPADS highlighting

    Please add CA State Code Highlighting to the Internships page, based on the Work-Based Learning Type selected so customers can see what fields are required when doing data entry.
