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.

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

Add option for Inactive teachers in Weekly Instructional Minutes
I know this was done by design because districts specifically requested that inactive teachers be suppressed from the drop-down lists, but this is affecting teachers that left mid-year now too! So now we can't audit the minutes certifications for any teacher that left mid-year. This is an audit issue! We need to access inactive teachers, so can it please be added as an option we can check on the Weekly Instructional Minutes page.

Update STU Code Descriptions to align with CALPADS
The code descriptions for STU.SWR & STU.EOY need to be updated for the following codes: E450, E400, E140. The descriptions currently do not match the CALPADS definitions. Therefore we continue to have the clerks code elementary students with the 450 code, and the others are also used for the incorrect age of the student.
We have updated our code table for ATT.RS to reflect the correct descriptions, but are unable to update the codes in STU.
