Parent Data Confirmation and Universal Benefits Application
SUN Bucks 2025 eligibility changes mean that the Universal Benefits Application form needs to be accessible in Parent Data Confirmation process. CDE-UBA Form - https://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/nu/documents/uba2025-26.docx
266 votesThis clarification message was added to the SUN Bucks communcation pieced linked earlier, so we are adding it here to maintain consistency as to our plans:
-----------------
There seems to still be some confusion, so we are clarifying out intended actions, as many comments added to this idea cover a wide variety of requests:
We are planning development during the current quarter to make specific upgrades to allow recording in Aeries which students were designated as Free or Reduced based on the UBA (and not the NSLP Application) via a new Source Code. Also, in the same way that districts can make the NSLP application available for download in the parent portal, a customized UBA could also be uploaded into the Parent Portal so they can access it to fill out.
The actual collecting of the UBA, analyzing the responses, assigning the status to a student, and conducting audits would…

Allow Portal Options to be copied from one school to another.
Add an option to be able to copy Portal options from one school to another. This includes settings for Data Confirmation.
214 votesWe are in the process of separating the different types of portal options into phases so they can be developed and released in smaller increments. That will help us deliver them in stages, rather than waiting for the entire project to be finsihed & released all together.

Add New CDE Attendance Recovery to Aeries to be reported to CALPADS
I am currently on a CDE webinar and they are discussing a new way to have attendance recovery which must be tracked separately from Reg School Day ADA and Saturday School. It was also stated that this would be reported to CALPADS to contribute to an Alternate Absenteeism Rate and be included in P2/Annual Attendance reporting. How will Aeries build this to keep it separate from Saturday School and allow for accounting for multiple days to make up the daily minute allowance? This Attendance Recovery will also be capped at 10 days per student. Can Aeries also include that when…

Make a report to track Chronic Absenteeism
We need the ability to easily pull Chronic Absenteeism information. Specifically, it would be nice to pull it by a date range; i.e. 8/19/2021 to 9/30/2021. With Chronic Absenteeism being so very important, it would be oh so dandy to have this be a report that we can have our sites run regularly.

CALPADS Data Validations
Due to the new CALPADS Post Process Redevelopment, Data Validations are needed in Aeries before the file is submitted to CALPADS. A file can only post if it passes all input validations. If a file has 1 error, the entire file will reject. The file extract process will take care of the bulk of these file format validations, but cross-field and/or valid code combination errors may still occur. New validations need to be added to the default set for these types of errors.

Expanded Learning Opportunities (ELOP) - The ability to track and report Student registration and participation is needed for 25/26 SY
A method is needed to track the ELOP opportunities that students are registered for and participating is needed for the 25/26 school year. It will now be incorporated into the CALPADS process. The districts would benefit tremendously from having this. I know in California we need it! It will help with reporting state information to see and compare how it relates to the funding we receive.

Staff Audit Report
To help with Fall 2 reporting, it would be helpful if we had a Staff Audit report in Aeries that HR staff at districts could run to check for errors in staff and teacher records. If it could look for Job Assignments that show as teachers and then look for students or sections assigned to that teacher. If it could look for non-classroom based job assignment and then make sure there are no kids or sections assigned to that person. Also if it could look for Staff records that have missing required CALPADS information such as SEID, FTE, End dates…

When importing students from Online Enrollment warn user when required fields are empty
When office staff are importing students from Online Enrollment it would be helpful if Aeries stopped them from saving the student record if required fields are not populated.

Auto email teacher to notify of missing attendance until attendance is posted.
Auto email teachers to notify of missing attendance until attendance posted. Times could be based on period, ADA time or the portal setting. For example, if a teacher has until 5PM to take attendance for classes other than ADA, the teacher would get an auto email at 3:00, 4:00, 4:30, etc to remind the teacher to enter attendance.

Online Enrollment / Data Confirmation - Fillable Forms
I made all my documents fillable PDF forms and uploaded them to Aeries portal documents; however, Online Enrollment and Data Confirmation in the document section instead of having the parent download the document and then re-upload the document, (which takes up more time), it would benefit the parent/guardian to make this section a little more user friendly and more efficient if the parents can just click on the PDF form, fill it out, and electronically sign or type in their name.

Data Confirmation and FRE responses Income Survey Audit page
