Add ability to turn off notification of submitting future attendance
Our attendance clerks are posting period attendance for future dates and have to acknowledge that they are posting future attendance for each day. Pretty tedious when a student is going to be out for a month or longer. It also gives the future warning for the next day. One warning or the ability to turn off those warnings would be greatly appreciated.
23 votesHello, a fix for this issue was released on 2/15/2023. Here are the revision notes:
Student Data > Attendance - In Flex Schools using period attendance, users will now be prompted with a confirmation message when entering or modifying an attendance code for a future date. The popup message will include options for OK (Don't Ask Again), allowing the user to temporarily disable any further alert notification while updating future attendance for the current student or any other student within the first 30 days from the current date until the user leaves the Attendance page. Upon reloading the Attendance page, the notifications will be enabled again. See Flex Scheduling - Student Attendance

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.
22 votesHello,
I wanted to let you know that this idea has been completed and is available in the 9/15/2020 AeriesWeb update.

In Flex Schools, the Period Absence Audit report printed by teacher should display attendance for all classes
When printing this report in Flex Schools, the Period Absence Audit Report when sorted by Teacher should display all classes for the student instead of just the one belonging to the teacher. This report is not efficient when printing each student's absence for the given teacher without seeing the entire schedule along with absence to determine the anomaly. For example, the outcome of the report should display just as printed by Student where it shows all classes except it should be sorted by the Teacher so that each teacher can determine if their attendance is correct or needs to be…

New ATT.RS for transfer between Schools with same CDS
Please add a new Hard-coded value in the ATT.RS. This code would be used for students transferring between two Aeries Schools with the same CDS code. When CALPADS data is extracted, this code should be bypassed just as a 440 is, but the error on the student Demographics and Attendance pages do not pop-up.
16 votesHello, the idea (or bug) has been completed in the 10/14/21 update. Here are the Revision Notes:
Demographic, Attendance Enrollment and Attendance Audit Listing Report – Allow Exit Reason Code 440 to be used when a student leaves a school to attend another school in the same District, with a matching CDS code, or if the STU.HS field is populated at the new school where the same CDS code is used.

Teacher Attendance - Allow Quick Attendance Notes
To help with Hybrid instructions, Allow Quick Attendance Notes on the Teacher Attendance page.
For students engaged in distance learning on a particular day, a teacher must track the means by which the student engaged that day. Attendance Notes is a possible way to track this information instead of the Gradebook. But Attendance Notes are not easily added for large groups of students. This feature would make it a simple process of checking the correct box(es) for students on how they engaged that day.
Here are some possible ideas:
- Add a new Portal Option to list ATN.CD code values (comma…

Report for missing Attendance Notes
For SB 98, we have instructed our Daily attendance teachers to fill in DL Engaged or DL Not Engaged as an Daily Attendance note. We need a way to pull the teachers that have missing filling in the Daily notes. Just like we run for missing attendance, we need tor run for missing notes.

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”.

Classroom Attendance - Display Additional Student Data Fields
To help with Hybrid instruction, - Display Additional Student Data Fields on the Classroom Attendance page.

Student Checkin
Have Aeries have a window where each school site can check in students upon late arrival or early check out.
Student would scan their id into the system using a barcode scanner that would capture their STU ID.
Then a window would pop up asking for reason for Tardy.
Dr. Appointment
COVID Test
No Reason
Other
