Student Info Area
Can we have an original Aeries look choice, like Windows did (i.e. Windows classic vs the new look).
1 voteWe appreciate your feedback. The updated UI features that we have just released, along with initial work we are completing behind the scenes, is setting the foundation to allow us to introduce cloud-native technologies that are fast, flexible, and robust in the near future.

In order to track progression over time of a student's mastery of a standard, you need to have multiple assignments associated with that standard. This will show the incremental progress.

scale just summative or just formative
Gradebook options you have, Apply weighting to Formative & Summative assignments- would like to have weighting to formative and summative to be separate, not grouped. You have this for Scale Min/Max Assignment Values in Total Grade—the same idea just for formative and summative.
1 voteThe Apply weighting to Formative & Summative Assignments is used to indicate when more emphasis is desired to be placed on Formative assignments vs. Summative. There are only two types of assignments in this case - Formative and Summative. The weighting between these must equal out to 100%.

Access to "Copy Grades to Transcript" page with read only access to HIS table
Currently you need to have insert access to transcripts to be able to copy grades to transcripts. We need the ability to have clerks who deal with grading run this copy grade to transcript function while only having read only access to HIS. Specially since it's listed under the grade reporting dashboard, there should be a separate permission to allow use of this function that is separate from the permissions to the HIS table.
1 voteThank you for sharing your idea! Unfortunately, this request falls outside our security best practices, so we are unable to move forward with it. Read-only users are limited to viewing data and cannot perform actions that write to a table. If certain users need to run this process, they will require the appropriate access in HIS.
If temporary access is needed, your district can assign an Expiration Date to the permission at the individual or group level in security settings.

Income Survey on Parent Data Confirmation - Remove 1 from options for # in Household
"1" should not be an option in the Income Survey in PDC for the "How many people are in your household?" question. There should be at least one adult and one child in every household (2 is the minimum value). Some parents think the question is asking how many children in the household. (In the meantime, we will edit the wording in Portal Options to try to clarify).
1 voteWe are declining this idea because we need to allow emancipated students to complete this survey.

CALPADS CRSC/CRSE - Adjust to no Longer Extract Code 23 - College Credit Only
Adjust the extracts to exclude code 23 – College Credit Only.
3 votesAfter more correspondence with CDE it has been determined that College Course Level code 23 needs to remain available in Aeries. LEAs will need to be sure they are populating it correctly. College-level courses are those where the LEA/school has courses open for students to enroll in. This is not when a student takes a college course independently on their own that has no association or oversight with the school/LEA.
We are no longer purusing this change. The idea will be closed.

Autopopulate Parent Email from Contacts Table
Autopopulate parent email from Contacts table into Student Demographics and add additional field for both parents
1 voteThe recommendation is to handle all parent emails in the Contacts table since our internal processes will be checking Contacts for this information for state reporting and third party integrations. For this reason the Student Demographics parent email field is due to be permanently removed.

Allowing Authorized staff members to reset Multifactor authentication
We use active directory for most logins so we don't need to reset passwords but it would be nice to give our site techs permission to reset staff multifactor authentications without them having to be Aeries admins. I don't want to give them ALL the power in Aeries, just the ability to take that off of our (the admins) plate.
1 voteHi, Due to our security direction, we do not plans to implement this idea. Thank you

Home language survey - Language Options
Add the ability for parents to select more than one language for each question. Our EL coordinator stated CDE allows parents to enter more than one language for each question on the survey. Because this is not a current feature in Online Enrollment we continue to collect Home Language Survey in paper form.
1 voteThe latest CDE-approved K012 Home Language Survey asks the parents to respond with one language for each question. See the form here: https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/cr/elforms.asp
Therefore, we are declining this request.

Parent Data Confirmation Residence Survey - Change the Wording of Unaccompanied Youth
Can the wording be changed from “I am a student under the age of 18…” to “The student is under the age of 18...”? Our District does not give Aeries Parent Portal access to students under the age of 18.
2 votesWe modeled the Residence Survey questions with the CDE Housing Questionnaire Survey. In order to accommodate all of our customers we need to use the CDE wording. Here is the link to the CDE Questionnaire information: https://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/hs/cy/documents/housingquestionnaire.pdf

CALPADS SENR0654E3 Error - Regarding student initial enrollment in us
When pulling a SINF record do not pull the Student Initial US school enrollment date for students with a language status of EO or IFEP.
These students are not required to have Initial US school start dates and entering them is causing a SENR0654E3 error in some cases.
1 voteAccording to CALPADS Update Flash 280, the validations for this error have been modified to only trigger on EL students. This idea is no longer necessary.

1 vote
We are not accepting this request for the following reason: this may not work for all districts since not all districts update the School Enter Date annually where Attendance Enrollment Start Date is an annual date.

Parent Response to Survey Table (PRS)
The Parent Data Confirmation process is not working correctly when we confirm the Parent Response to Survey. We would find it very helpful to have the PRS table cleared out upon roll over to the new year. We have had an issue with confirming old parent responses and creating a new program record in this year when one was not warranted for the current year. We do not wish to see last year's parent responses in current year. Another question we have is, should the program even allow this to happen? If the date that the parent submitted the survey…
1 voteThis needs to be an individual decision by each District. Every year, a conversation happens with our Rollover team. At this meeting, you can request that this table NOT be rolled to the new year. They will document this request, and have you re-confirm it each year.

TX: SPPI-14 Student Parent Extract File
Update Extract to Use Student Personal Email (STU.SPE) in the StudentExtension for Data Element E1243: EmailAddress
3 votesThis idea is being declined as the XML extensions are no longer used, and a fix has been released for the Ed-Fi standard.

Auto calculate US enrollment < 3 years Indicator
Have the "US Schl < 3 Yrs" indicator auto-calculate based on the "US School K-12" field.
4 votesAccording to CALPADS, the US School Enrollment < 3 years indicator calculates as a cumulative time, not consecutive. Therefore we cannot calculate this value from the Initial US School Enter Date.

Mass Change All Day Code - Process is not honoring the MST.ADA field
The Mass Change All Day Code page is not honoring the Master Schedule ADA field with a value of N to Not Count in Mass Change (MST.ADA = N). Students are displaying when a section has the MST.ADA = N populated and should be excluded.
1 voteThe Mass Change All Day code form is working correctly. We recommend entering 0 for least number of absences instead of entering a number. The MST.ADA = N means don't count a "present" in this class towards the "N or more" count in Mass Change. If the student is absent for 5 out of 6 classes, but the 6th class is MST.ADA = N, then they will count as absent for all 6 classes on the Mass Change All Day Code page.

Courses
Add the ability to assign CA specific settings at the course level instead of section level. Such as Local Assignment Options and Instructional Strategy.
1 voteIn some districts these fields could be unique between different schools therefore they are only available at the Master Schedule Section level.

Add the optional Caseload and Caseload_Members templates to the CCGI Extract.

PFT - Physical Fitness Testing - Update Pass/Fail (without the submission) to confirm with PFT requirement to notify Parents of results
Starting with the 21-22 results, PFT requires that parents receive their students' PFT - Physical Fitness Testing results. As such, can Aeries still provide a way to automatically update Pass/Fail without the submission information? (CDE PFT meeting 1/25/2023)
2 votesPer the PFT Webinar on January 25th, 2023. According to CDE the LEAs are not required to send the PFT pass/not pass results or "Healthy Fitness Zones" to the parents. They do, however, need to report the raw scores to the students. The CDE said it would be an LEA's local decision to report the PFT scores to the parents. (also see item 6 under PFT Data in the CDE's Physical Fitness FAQ page
https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/pf/pft11fasqa.asp)
The Fitnessgram uses proprietary calculations for the VO2max and the Healthy Fitness Zones. As such, Aeries cannot calculate the pass/not passed statuses for the individual test parts. LEA staff, however, are able to hand enter the pass/not pass test statuses for each student or run mass change queries on the PFT data to set the statuses.
In testing administrations prior to COVID the PFT data would be exported from Aeries and uploaded into the…

Parent Weekly Grade Update in Parent Square
In Parent Square, allow parents to sign up for Weekly Grade notification. Currently offered in Portal, but parents cannot do this inside of app. Why do they need to go to 2 platforms?
1 voteHi Ali, Unfortunately, we won't be able to accept this request to allow users to control the weekly progress report emails through ParentSquare. Our integration with ParentSquare is not set up to handle this type of action. ParentSquare primarily serves as a communication platform, and facilitates that communication to various parties over a variety of configurable communication types, but ParentSquare never dictates what information comes out of Aeries.
