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.
35 votesHello, this bug has been completed in the 9/17/20 Hot Fix update. Here are the Revision Notes:
The SSID import has been adjusted to account for the new “Student with Disabilities” column present in the file. Also, the SENR extract has been adjusted to only use E450 for PS, TD, or IN grades.

SELA Conflict Report-Add options for report
CALPADS - SELA Conflict report - Needs report options added:
1) Add option to skip Pre-school students (errors reported are invalid for PS)
2) Have report honor KEEP and SKIPS.
3) School selector when run at district, or honor Schools tab30 votesThese adjustments were made in the 11/20/2020 update to Aeries:
SELA Conflict Report – The report has been adjusted to handle Adult English Learner (ADEL) language fluency. Also, it now supports KEEP / SKIP, school selection (when logged at the district and not running the report from the CALPADS page), and the ability to skip Pre-School (PS) grade level. -
Summer ELPAC Testing - Create process to run in current year (Before Rollover)
With the changes to TOMS and CALPADS, there is a need to allow the creation of SENR files and SELA records in the current year database to allow testing during the upcoming summer. Currently the process requires waiting until after Rollover process and run it in the new year database.
This solution will leverage the Next School, Next Grade and Next Special Program fields, and create enrollment records using the Next School Start Date from the School Options page. It will be important for schools using this process to have the data in these fields be correct.
A new tab…

Adjust CALPADS SINF extract to support separate Education Levels for Parents/Guardians
Adjustments needed because of changes CALPADS is making for Parent/Guardian information on the SINF file: Data is now being collected separately for Guardian 1 and Guardian 2: First Name, Last Name, Education Level.
Need to move extract from taking data from Parent/Guardian field (STU.PG) and now take it from the Contact table.
24 votesHello, the idea (or bug) has been completed in the 02/12/21 update. Here are the Revision Notes:
- District Settings – A selection list was added under District Settings for specifying which Record Type codes (CON.CD) represent the parent/guardian.
- CALPADS Extracts – The SINF extract now gets the Parent/Guardian information from the CON table.
- The option to choose between residential and mailing address was removed. SINF and SIAD now only use the mailing address.
Also, the Parent Highest Education Level field (STU.PED) has been made visible/editable on Student Demographics even if the field is empty.

PSTS-Need ability to record multiple CALPADS Post-Secondary Status
Brandi with CDE confirmed that CALPADS is supporting multiple status codes for one student. We were not aware of this when we reviewed and programmed the PSTS extract based on the new code set and the file layout.
WORKAROUND: We will make adjustments in the future, but for the current Fall 2 PSTS reporting, we are only extracting one status code per student.
12 votesHello, this idea/bug has been completed in the 11/06/20 update. Here are the Revision Notes: The PSTS extract was adjusted according to the latest CALPADS specification. The new Post-Secondary Survey (PSS) table is used for the extract, and the SSD table is no longer used. The Post-Secondary Survey table is located as a separate tab on the Secondary Student Data page. See CALPADS Extract: Fall 2

Update US School K-12 Entry Date with Earliest K-12 Date returned by CALPADS SSID Extract
When requesting SSIDs for new students, CALPADS is now returning the Earliest K-12 School entry Date. If the date stored in the US School K-12 Date in the Language Assessment screen is different or blank, update the LAC.USS with the date from CALPADS.
Note this change will not be done until CALPADS resolves Known Issue 5734: SSID Extract pulling most recent enrollment date instead of earliest K-12 enrollment date.
11 votesHello, this AeriesIdea item has been completed in the 7/13/21 update. Here are the pertinent Revision Note(s):
CALPADS Extracts
The SSID import now includes “Earliest Enrollment Start Date K-12”. The LAC.USS field will be updated if the date in the file is different than the one in the system.

CALPADS Work-Based Learning Extract (WBLR)
A new extract is being created to submit data related to student internships, student-led enterprises, and virtual/simulated work-based learning. This Work-Based Learning (WBLR) file will be submitted and certified as part of the CALPADS End-of-Year (EOY) 1 submission. Work-based learning provides additional opportunities for students to demonstrate their preparedness for college/career through the College/Career Indicator (CCI) on the California School Dashboard.
11 votesHello, this idea/bug has been completed in the 11/06/20 update. Here are the Revision Notes:
CALPADS Extracts

Refer to the documentation for more detailed information. See CALPADS Extract – EOY – Work-Based Learning (WBLR) and Internships. -
Create CALPADS SPRG 185 Records for TK from Student TK Grade Enrollment instead of PGM
Using PGM to generate SPRG 185 records for TK students is redundant as Aeries already has the -1 grade level for TK students. Adjust the CALPADS SPRG extract to process student ATT/ENR data for the TK Grade Level to generate SPRG 185 records. PGM 185 could still remain and continue to work, but schools should have the option to not use PGM.
8 votesHello, this AeriesIdea item has been completed in the 7/13/21 update. Here are the pertinent Revision Note(s):
CALPADS Extracts
The SPRG extract has been enhanced to handle program code 185 for Transitional Kindergarten students. No records will be needed in PGM. The program records will be dynamically inserted into the SPRG extract for those students who need it, with appropriate beginning and ending dates.

Ability to Calculate Attendance Totals Based on Period Attendance
Would like the option to Calculate Attendance Totals Based on Period Attendance instead of daily attendance for CALPADS EOY reporting for STAS
8 votesHello, the idea has been completed in the 12/04/2020 update. Here are the Revision Notes:
School Option – A new option has been added to Calculate Attendance Totals Based on Period Attendance. This option will impact attendance calculations, attendance history calculations, CALPADS STAS extract, the student profile display and the attendance page display.

Update STU Code Descriptions to align with CALPADS
The code descriptions for STU.SWR & STU.EOY need to be updated for the following codes: E450, E400, E140. The descriptions currently do not match the CALPADS definitions. Therefore we continue to have the clerks code elementary students with the 450 code, and the others are also used for the incorrect age of the student.
We have updated our code table for ATT.RS to reflect the correct descriptions, but are unable to update the codes in STU.
7 votesHello, this idea/bug has been completed in the 11/03/20 update. Here are the Revision Notes:
Also, Fixed Code Description changed for Exit Code 450 to now display as: PreK Exit. Please note that this change to Fixed Codes for all the new descriptions works for all areas using Fixed Codes throughout the system. -
New Students Enrolled After Our Last Day of In-School Attendance and CALPADS STAS File
For EOY 3; STAS, CSIS is saying we need to send up a STAS record for new students who enrolled after our last day of in-school attendance but we can exempt them. Is there a way to auto-exempt them based on the new field in District Options for our last day of attendance if the student's first day of enrollment falls after that date?
5 votesHello, the bug has been completed in the 6/8/20 update. Here are the Revision Notes:
The STAS extract logic has been updated to include students enrolled after the last day of regular attendance. These students will be extracted with a “Y” in the Absence Exempt Indicator column. Also, teachers taking attendance would cause the Attendance History totals to be recalculated without limiting by the Last Day of Regular School Attendance when populated, fixed.

CALPADS-Allow SENR extracts before school starts
Districts have requested the ability to create SENR extracts in a new school year for all students, prior to the first day of school, without having to activate ATT. This would greatly facilitate Direct Certification and also summer IELPAC testing.
4 votesHello, this idea/bug has been completed in the 09/15/2020 update. Here are the Revision Notes:
The SENR extract has been updated according to the CALPADS CFS v12. The SENR indicators have been removed from the extract, and the new 1.34 column has been added. Also, an option has been added to extract the SENR file before school begins, as long as a calendar has been created. The enrollment date will be the first day of school. -
Calpads Extract EOY
Would it be possible to put the names of the extracts under the "create files" for EOY like you have had in the past? It looks a bit confusing as to which files fall under the current way it's set up.
3 votesHello, this AeriesIdea item has been completed in the 7/9/21 update. Here are the pertinent Revision Note(s):

Dual Enrollment Summer Term Should Be Extracted to CalPads
Currently Dual Enrollment courses that count as High School Credits but are taken through local colleges over the summer are not extracted for reporting to CalPads so long as they are added as a Summer Term. The problem is that if they are entered as a Fall/Spring Term then the data is inaccurate in Aeries and also it confuses Parents/Students because on the Transcript it prints under the Fall/Spring Term.
There should be a way for Summer Term classes entered on the transcript that are specially marked as Dual Enrollment courses to be extracted to be uploaded to CalPads. These…

Add Peace Officer to the Behavioral Emergency Staff Type Dropdown
Per CDE the restraints and seclusions made by peace officers should not be reported to CALPADS. We do know that it is required for Civil Rights Data Collection. Can a code be added to the BER Staff Type dropdown to identify mechanical restraint instances performed by peace officers?
2 votesHello, this item has been completed in the 06/18/2020 update. Here are the Revision Notes:
Behavioral Emergency – A new field has been added to this page to allow tracking the reason of the restraint/seclusion. There are no default/state codes. All the codes are user-defined and they are not reported to CALPADS.
Additionally, after clarification from CDE, the Staff Type description has been adjusted to “02 – District police officer, school resource officer (SRO) or other Peace Officer NOT performing an arrest”. Any BER record containing this code will not be reported to CALPADS. If a student is restrained while being arrested, a disposition code for Arrested should be entered, not a restraint record.
