Online Enrollment - Make Parent Ed Level a mandatory field
Make the Parent Ed Level a mandatory field for parents to add/update to Online Enrollment.
54 votesIt turns out that the ability to require the parent education level is already a feature. This can be required for Online Enrollment by turning on the "Ask Parent Education Level" setting in the admin settings. Once turned on, parents cannot proceed without populating the field. Here is some documentation: https://support.aeries.com/support/solutions/articles/14000078615-aeries-online-enrollment-admin-settings

State Seal of Biliteracy - Update for 2022 Requirements
Update the State Seal of Biliteracy process to honor the following requirements for the 2022 graduates:
1. 2022 Grads must pass the 11th Grade CAASPP ELA test with "Standard Met" or above, or they must pass a Locally Determined 11th Grade ELA test
2. If a student took both the 11th Grade CAASPP and a Locally Determined 11th Grade ELA test, the better of the two scores will be used to determine eligibility
3. If a student didn't take either of the tests during their 11th grade year, they can take the 11th grade tests during the 2021-22 year to…4 votesWhile reviewing the code for the State Seal of Biliteracy the programmer found that we already honor each of the 2022 requirements listed in this idea. We have updated the documentation to clarify this: https://support.aeries.com/support/solutions/articles/14000082520-state-seal-of-biliteracy-set-up

Allow a custom table to be used with Analytics Item Definitions/Dashboards.
4 votesCustom tables are currently supported in Aeries Analytics, as long as the table is a one-to-one type of table.
-
Custom Messages to Display On Initial Login
Allow for custom messages to be shown inside of Aeries upon initial login and possibly a banner at the top of the page for announcements. Announcements could include messages about downtime, known issues, and ideally could be displayed based on permission groups.

Transcript Class Rank - Ability to phase out by grade level
Currently we provide the class rank on our transcripts. We would like to begin the process of phasing this program out by grade level.
2 votesHello! We have a feature called “GPA Configuration Page” that is available. Multiple custom GPAs can be created and it can be used to phase out the Class Rank. It is a “beta” feature and is only available to early adopters. It can be run in a sandbox copy of your database. You would need to contact the Support department for more information. Below is more documentation:

Copy Students into Summer School - Create DPT Message To Record When the Process Completes
Add a DPT record when the Copy Students into Summer Schools in the Current Database process completes.
1 voteUpon further review by programming, a DPT record is already created after the Copy Students into Summer Schools in the Current Database process completes. A DPT record with NM = 'SummerSchoolInitialized" and a CD of the date when the process completed is written.
We have updated the summer school documentation to reflect this information.

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.
1 voteHello, This can be done by granting the MST.TN2 Teacher User account with Read-Only Gradebook permissions: https://support.aeries.com/support/solutions/articles/14000068279-read-only-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

Attendance by Photo on the Teacher Portal
In the Teacher Portal, we would like to be able to display the same custom fields from the regular attendance screen in the attendance by photo screen. For example, the user fields in demographics. Thanks
1 voteOn the Seating Chart, the teacher can click the i info icon to view additional information, which includes the additional attendance fields.

Preview Data Confirmation
Add a preview button which will allow admin users to view step by step what parents see when completing Data Confirmation. It will aid when providing support for parents who need guidance on specific pages.
1 voteParent Data Confirmation, along with any other portion of the parent’s experience, can be emulated or “previewed” using the Manage Parent/Student account page.
Information about this feature can be found in the following article: https://support.aeries.com/support/solutions/articles/14000071608-managing-parent-student-portal-accounts#manage

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

To maximize ADA at sites where one grade starts a day early we would like to input 2 calendars per site
We would like to be able to create distinct calendars with different reporting dates
1 voteThis can be done with Calendar Tracks.
