Update teacher display in Gradebook to clearly delineate which students are physically present in class
All absences, except one type, definitely show up in the gradebook as a small marker in the corner of the box that the assignment grade is in. Pre-arranged absences do NOT show up on the gradebook page in any way, shape or form. This means that teachers can inadvertently give credit to a student for something like participation even though the student was absent because the absence can not be seen on the gradebook page.

Need more Indexing on the LOG table
Please consider adding more indexing to the LOG table. It would be much better to try and implement this early in the school year, before the logs grow too large.
NOTE: The original request has been modified to be a bit more generic, as we cannot commit to doing this exact solution without considering the other effects on the system. However the overal ldea is the same, to improve the functioning of the log table to allow better searching of the results.

Weekly Progress Emails — Add Option to Exclude Inactive Sections
What is happening now:
When a district deactivates a section mid-year, students linked to gradebooks tied to that section stop receiving all weekly progress report emails — including for their active courses. The email process does not check section status in MST or the student's current CAR records, and fails when it cannot retrieve Flex Period Start/End times for an inactive section. The only fix today requires a direct SQL update to the GBU table, which has no UI edit path.Why this matters:
Parents receive progress emails for one child but not another with no explanation. Districts with 100+…2 votes -
Counseling: Allow same-day entries to be sorted based on time of entry.
On the Counseling page (and possibly other pages), the Display Options allow you to sort entries made on different days to be either descending or ascending. But if you make several entries on the same day, you can't sort them, and they are always ascending. Meaning that if you sort the rest of the older entries the other way, now you have a mismatched sort combo. Can this somehow be corrected?

Enhance ELOP/Leap Process
CDE instructions indicate that the LEAP extract should include everyone enrolled in the program, Whether they participate or not. At present, the Aeries process only creates PGM records if ATD is present. We'd like to enhance the process to create a PGM record with 0 days so that we don't have to manually add their records.

Supplemental Attendance Report - Add Footer option
Requesting the ability to add a custom footer to the Supplemental Attendance Report. This would be configurable to each district based on their needs. Below is an example of how a district might choose to use it.
Original Request:
The Minutes report under Supplemental Attendance Report: We use supplemental attendance for attendance recovery. The state is currently auditing us. We have a request from the state auditor if we could also include the wording at the footer: “I, (teacher name), attest that the students were provided with content aligned to grade-level standards that is substantially equivalent to in-person instruction.” Would…1 vote -
Enhance Electronic Records Requests to have a list of Schools that support it
During the AERIES con this year, I asked about this feature. Seems it is there, but........not really enabled nor easily enabled and you cannot find out who else is using it. It would save a LOT of time and seems like more people would use this.

Red Flags on Gradebook/Rosters/Attendance/Seating chart
If a student has a flag it should show up for the most important end user - the teacher! They are NOT spending their day clicking into demographics for every student. EVEN if its just an icon SHOWING they have a red flag. Especially useful when we have subs as well who wouldn't know about custody issues or an IEP or a medical issue. The data exists, we just need to use in a meaningful way.

Inactive Graduation Track codes should be hidden from dropdowns
When a Graduation Track code (REQ.GRT) is marked Inactive in COD Table Maintenance, it should no longer appear as a selectable option on the Graduation Status and Graduation Requirements pages

Assertive Discipline Increase Dropdown Width for Long Values
We would like to request the ability to increase the width of dropdown fields on specific pages in Aeries, such as Assertive Discipline > Administrative Decision, so users can view the full text of each option without it being truncated.
Currently, many dropdown values are cut off due to the limited field width, making it difficult for users to distinguish between similar options. This can lead to confusion, slower data entry, and the potential for selecting the wrong value. Examples: Reason Different, Return Location and Placement
Allowing the dropdown width to be expanded (or automatically sized to fit the longest…

CAPSDAC 2.0
On 3/6/25 CAPSDAC announced Phase 2 of their data collection, which will greatly expand the type of data collected for PreSchool students. There will be multiple new files, similar to CALPADS. We will be meeting with them to try and get the layouts once they are finalized, so we can program it into our system. Please subscribe to this idea if you wish to be informed about the progress.
32 votesWe are using the latest data layout to plan the extracts necessary for this feature, even though they layouts are not final yet. We will keep you informed of the process towards development.

Supplemental Attendance Management - Copy & Push/Pull Sessions
Now that we are using Supplemental Attendance to capture all of our ELOP and AR sessions, we would like to have the ability to copy sessions within a school, and push/pull sessions between schools. A lot of our programs are exactly the same at all of our school sites, and our ELOP Coordinator has to create the same session 14 times.

Show Available Periods for Alternates Suggestion
PLEASE add “Show Available Periods” to the Alternate Course Requests section, similar to the main course request view.
Right now, alternates only show as a list with no period visibility. Adding this would make it much faster to place alternates and avoid conflicts without jumping back and forth.1 vote -

Insurance Info - Send a notification to parent if Medical Insurance has Expired
It's good to have the capability of sending an auto notification for expiring Medical Insurance/Expired Medical Insurance for parents to update or reach out to School Staff in a timely manner.
It's a tedious task if the office staff has to reach out to parents for the bigger school districts.
(Note : May be some feature like Attendance Irregular & Truancy letters are generated and office staff can send parents the letter of notification)

Activities and Awards on Transcripts to be sorted by Completion Date
It will be extremely helpful and meaningful that we can have a new feature to allow the [Things to Print] to sort based on the Date within the category.
We have a total of [16] Sports [Fall] / [Winter] / [Spring] whereas all our Sports in the ACT Table under the [CD] field.
By the end of each season, we add a record per Student to indicate the completion of the Sport in the ACT Table with the Date of Completion [12/25] / [06/26].
Unfortunately, we noticed that on the Student Transcript, Activities and Awards are sorted alphabetically and NOT…
