FAFSA Completion Recording to Comply with CA State Law
California is now requiring schools to have students completed the FAFSA or get a waiver or opt out form signed by the parent. We would love to see a spot built in to the counseling area to record that a student has completed this or that an opt out form is on file. If we could upload that signed form too, that would be a huge bonus.

Using Seating Chart Report for COVID Contact Tracing
Using Seating Chart Report for COVID Contact Tracing
Covid testing students who were sitting in the vicinity of a positive tested student need to be identified
The new and improved seating charts would be a great tool to assist with the process.
If a teacher creates their seating chart based on the Attendance by Photo - Old, then administrators are able to run the Classroom Photo/Seating Chart report. The newest version attendance by photo seating chart does not print.
Is there any means for us to make this capability available to anyone other than teachers? Admin, Office staff?21 votesThe 9/14/2021 version of Aeries includes the ability for office staff to print the “new” seating chart for a given class. Information about this feature can be found on the following document: https://support.aeries.com/support/solutions/articles/14000072499-attendance-by-photo-and-seating-chart

LTEL Import needs to be updated for the new file format
The full state Long-Term English Learner (LTEL) file from the California Department of Education has changed formats from the previous year. The file is unable to be processed in Aeries in the new format in the LTEL Import function.

Demographics - Online Enrollment Import - Sort by Enroll Date
Set the Student Import Screen to sort by "Enroll Date" not "Enroll ID". It's difficult to find the most recently enrolled student when you have a huge list of enrollees sitting in the import screen.
If that is not doable then give the option of sorting by "Enroll Date".

SSID MATCH TOOL PROCESS DOWNLOAD FILE NEEDS ADJUSTING TO ALIGN WITH CALPADS 23-24 changes

Option to remove the "add student" option to Student Portal Accounts
Currently, students can "Add New Student" to their Student Portal Accounts. There is no reason for this option when we're mass creating accounts and it doesn't make sense why they would ever allow students to add students to their own portal accounts.

Golden State Seal & State Seal of Biliteracy
Would like the ability to Export the students along with their qualifying data (same as on the report) to Excel. This will make it easier for staff to review and add additional information, missing students, or remove students. We use the final Excel file to add the ACT records after each school has also been reviewed by the district office. We do not use the form to mass add the records, and cannot use it for the biliteracy as we have a seperate record for each students language.
