Allow teachers to move horizontally in the gradebook.
I would like the ability to fully move freely through the gradebook and be able to move horizontally through a single student's work, (without having to open just that students gradebook.) I find that only being able to move vertically through the assignment column slows me down.
1 voteThe Aeries Gradebook has the ability to move vertically with the left and right arrow keys, and horizontally with the tab and shift+tab keys.

Remove CAHSEE ELA and CAHSEE Math from graduation status page.
Please remove the "CAHSEE ELA" AND "CAHSEE Math" from the graduation status page. CAHSEE has been removed from the state's graduation requirement since end of 2015. It just confuses our parents and sites get questions on them every year.
1 voteThe California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) can be removed from Aeries, since it is no longer relevant. Here is some information on this process: https://support.aeries.com/support/solutions/articles/14000082454-how-to-turn-off-cahsee-status-

Equitable Grading Setting for Grade Books
I would love to have a feature in Aeries where missing work is graded automatically as a 50% (F) not a 0%(F) so that one missing assignment does not throw off students' averages and tank their grade.
I currently have to manually type in scores to make all Fs out of 50% and then students don't realize they are missing an assignment.
I am a first year teacher so if there is a way to do this and I am just missing it please let me know.
1 voteIn the Aeries Gradebook, there is a gradebook option for "Min/Max Assignment Values". If you set the minimum to 50%, no student will receive a score less than 50%, even if they are given a 0 or a low score. More information about this feature can be found in our gradebook options documentation.

Multiple tabs open at the same time
Imagine having the seating chart AND gradebook open AT THE SAME TIME. It would be much faster to go from tab to tab instead of having to close one and open up the other.
1 voteIn Aeries and in most web applications, you can ctrl+click to open links in a new tab, or shift+click to open in a new browser window.

Error message
When a student is expelled, the expulsion is recorded in the assertive discipline history. The drop code for expulsions should be 165 and the student's status should be changed to expelled. The majority of our school sites are changing statuses to inactive and using the 160 drop code which is incorrect. This error will cause CALPADs to not reflect the correct drop code. Is there any way to send an error message to the school site if the student is not dropped with the correct code?
1 voteHi Courtney,
This can be done now with Aeries Data Validations. A validation for exit reasons can be added. Here is more information: https://support.aeries.com/support/solutions/articles/14000101896-data-validation

Gradebook Query time freeze
I am wondering if there's a report and/or query that can pull from the grade books for a student's specific grade in a specific date range. Even though an assignment(s) can vary in time range with the due dates and affect the grade of the student, want to make sure the report and/or query takes them into consideration when pulling grades for a specific date range. Like a time freeze for grades from the grade books. Something similar that we used in Illuminate, a "grade search".
1 voteHello, We have a new feature called Gradebook Grading Periods that sounds similar to your request: https://support.aeries.com/support/solutions/articles/14000113471-gradebook-grading-periods

Collab Teachers Full Access to Gradebook - Create Read-only permission
When a Teacher is tagged in the MST.TN2 field as a collab teacher. They currently have access to edit and link the gradebook. Is it possible to create a tag or permission that will grant the collab teacher (MST.TN2) read only permissions to gradebook? This will eliminate any accidental errors the collab teacher may make in the gradebook.

Interventions - force update of fields before saving
The most common code is "Reason for Intervention" on the Intervention screen. Please add a way to force an update of the most important fields before being able to save the form. Similar to how Assertive Discipline forces you to update some fields before you can save the incident.
1 voteAeries has the ability to define required fields for Interventions. Would this meet your need? Here is a link to our documentation on required fields: https://support.aeries.com/support/solutions/articles/14000102709-define-required-fields

MST Flex Period query field - list short title instead of ID
When doing a query using the MST table, the flex period field, MST.FSQ gives the Flex Period ID. It should give the Flex Period Short Title, the ID is generated by Aeries and can't be changed.
1 voteThis can be accomplished by including the FTF table, specifically the short title field (FTF.STI) in the query. For example, LIST MST FTF FTF.STI

Contact Notification Preference: Change the hard code to say something other than Do Not Contact
Our Secretaries get confused when they see "Do Not Contact" and think that they are clicking on the wrong thing so they automatically click Emergency Announcements or General and Emergency Announcements for every contact. This creates a lot of frustration to those contacts that do not want the ParentSquare notifications.
1 voteThe ability to rename some fixed codes is available within the code table. Contact Notification Preferences is an example of this. Instructions to do this are available in the following article: https://support.aeries.com/support/solutions/articles/14000074714-code-table-management-inactivating-codes

District Attendance Letters - create log of letters sent by email
Parents email addresses change and we need to be able to verify to what email address a letter was sent and when. It would be great if there was a log that showed the email address that the attendance letter was sent to and the DTS of when the letter was generated.
1 voteFor District Attendance Letters, parent email addresses are logged to the CBD table, along with other information about delivery, and can be queried from within Aeries.
