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

Mobile Portal App - missing assignments should have Date Completed blank
When Parents/Guardians/Students view gradebook assignments, if the assignment is missing, the date completed should be blank.
1 voteWhen a student does not have a grade for an assignment and it is past due based on the assignment due date and the teacher has marked the Assignment as "Grading Completed", then on both the Parent Portal and in the Mobile Portal App the assignment score will be "blank"/"number of points" and the Date Completed will be blank. Past Due assignments with no score are treated as a 0 in the overall gradebook score calculation.
If the teacher enters a score of 0 for the assignment with a comment of "missing". Entering the score will populate the Date Completed. Effectively the teacher is changing the missing assignment to an assignment with a 0 score.
Best practice would be for the teacher to leave the score empty, select Grading Completed when the assignment is due, and allow the system to identify the missing assignments and determine the gradebook grade using… -

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.

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.

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.

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
