SSID Import fails with new CALPADS SpEd Indicator
CALPADS added a new field to the SSID Extract file to hold a Special Education indicator as of 9/15/2020. We are adjusting our import process to handle this new indicator in a similar fashion as the English Language Acquisition Code and Date in the SSID Extract.

Class Scheduling - Allow Alt Ed Scheduling for Specific Courses
Would like to see a solution for High Schools who offer online courses (i.e. Edgenuity, APEX) and or use placeholder courses. Currently, High Schools are unable to know the exact course that students are taking via Edgenuity program, which makes it highly problematic to schedule, figure out their graduation status, keep tabs on progress via grading, transcribing.
In looking at current Aeries features there are 2 current functions that get close to providing a solution. The first one is Alternative Ed. Scheduling, however I was told that this feature would not work in a regular comprehensive, as it would throw…

Mobile App - Attendance wording when there is no data
Please change the wording from "Nothing to Show" to something more user friendly like "Student has no absences" on the Attendance page when a student has no absences. "Nothing to Show" is confusing to some kids and to many parents.
4 votesHello, this item has been completed in the 10/26/2020 AppStore iOS Mobile Portal update. Parents will need to update their Mobile Portal App to see the change to the attendance screen.
iOS phones will now display the same wording as Android phones when a student does not have any attendance data (i.e., no absences, tardies, etc.) : No attendance data available -

3 votesHello, this issues was fixed in the 10/14/2020 update. Here are the Revision Notes:

Please make HIS.SDE and HIS.CH visible on the Transcript input form when entering College courses
Right now when entering College courses on a student's transcript, the two extra fields don't appear until the record is saved. At that time, validation check is performed against the Course ID entered into the field and check the Course Level (CRS.CL) to see if it is 23 or 24. If so, it then makes those two fields visible in READ mode.
If the validation could take place AFTER the course ID is entered and display the additional fields at that time, that would be an great enhancement and make it much easier for counselors and registrars to make sure…

- Transcript - The Dual Enrollment Credit School and College Credit Hours fields will now display on the screen when adding a new record, after a course number is populated and the course has a course level flagged with Course Level 23-College Credit Only or 24-Dual Credit. Previously the fields were not displayed until the record was saved which required the user to edit the record again to complete the data entry.

Teacher Attendance - Allow Updating of Certain Codes
The Aeries Teacher Portal currently allows teachers to override any verified absence code, or override only unverified absence codes, and there isn't an option to allow teachers to override only certain verified absence codes.
In Aeries, a Tardy Truant is treated as a Verified Tardy, which makes sense. However, if a teacher accidentally selects Tardy Truant, since it's considered "verified", they can't un-select it.
It would be great if we could provide a comma-separated list of verified absence codes that teachers could override on the Portal Options screen. We wouldn't want to allow teachers to override all absence codes, like…
8 votesThis idea was completed with the 10/14/2020 update to Aeries with the following revision note:
Teacher Attendance and Portal Options: A new portal option has been added to “Only Allow Teachers to Override Attendance Codes listed”. With this option, teachers will not be able to override a Verified Absence Code except when that Attendance Code is available to be used by a teacher. Due to recent changes for Distance Learning attendance accounting, teachers have been given access to use some Verified Attendance Codes but this presented problems because teachers had to either be allowed to override ANY Verified Absence Code or get stuck with that code after having used it. This new option fixes that. This option is mutually exclusive to the option to “Allow teachers to override verified absences”.

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.
