Import Test Results - Add the ELPAC 2021-22 File Layout

Due to the changes CALPADS launched in their new environment, we must make immediate adjustments to the Enrollment Update Extracts

When processing SENR reconciliation process, output into several files
Deletes
Exits
Updates

Please add booster fields to COVID vaccine

Since the CALPADS Post Redesign, the SPRG ODS Extract requested from CALPADS is missing the Academic Year and is causing the Aeries Delete files to fail when submitting to CALPADS. This is CALPADS Known Issue #6050. Programming will adjust the Aeries SPRG ODS Reconciliation Delete files and add the Academic Year to prevent the CALPADS Failed message and allow the records to post.

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.

Add the CAASPP Test Results - SY: 2020/21 file layout to the Import Test Results page.

Some districts are experiencing issues with opening Assertive Discipline records and adding/savings new records. Programming is currently looking into the issue.

Customers utilizing Flex Scheduling need the ability to utilize the Wait List functionality. Please make the changes necessary to allow this.

The Summative ELPAC scores are now available for import. Please add the ELPAC Test Results - SY: 2020-21 option to the Import Test Scores pull-down

In Flex schools, allow the flex periods to display individually for Attendance notifications to Parent Square. Currently, the message appears as "one or more classes".

Transcripts and Virtual Schools - Add Option to report courses taken at Reporting School instead of School Taken

Modify PFT for 2021/2022

The Physical Fitness Setup page can be adjusted now to turn-off the Body Composition tests.

Programming is working on adding the following message to the Physical Fitness Setup page:
Body Composition (Height/Weight/BMI) and calculations are not collected for the SPRG22 Testing Admin.

We will also be locking the Body Composition fields on the Setup page and data entry pages (PFT by Teacher and Student PFT) if the Testing Admin is SPRG22.

Programming is also working on removing the calculated fields from the data entry pages.

Allow for an option to delete orphaned attendance records for sections that have been dropped but attendance still exists in CAT table for flex schools.

ParentSquare - Allow for Attendance summary notifications to run once at a specific time.

Daily Enrollment by Month (CSR) - Adjust for Primary Class Tracking

Printing Grade Report Cards when sorting by period does not work for Flex Scheduling. It is not sorting by Flex Period correctly and the Teacher name does not print.

Currently the Progress Report by Student displays STU.SN. We want to use the Secure Document feature in Aeries Communications to distribute progress reports to students, and in order to do so the document must contain either STU.ID or STU.CID.

Ideally, the STU.ID would appear in a consistent location on each progress report. The simplest way to accomplish this would be to add a line between the title and the date, and print the student ID there (centered).

Update the Test Settings page and the State Test Export Files (Test Settings, Test Assignment, Condition Codes) to honor the 2021-22 file layouts.

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?

We are reviewing our database and finding a ton of records newly imported this year with a new Perm Id that already had an existing Perm id. If the same name report compared active and inactive we could easily catch more of these without such extensive research.
