How can we make Aeries better?

Add a field for Staff Legal name on STF

We have to use our staff's legal name for any state reporting. However, our district allow our staff members to operate with a preferred name. I am asking for a space for a staff legal name so we can use the preferred name everywhere else in the system (master schedule, portals, Staff table).

    Additionally the ability to use either the legal name or preferred name during the Staff Google Sync process. This is causing us cascading issues with 3rd party systems since we use both Aeries -> Google, and Aeries -> Clever -> Active Directory provisioning.

    Teachers can be transgender too
    Legal Gender and Legal Names fields recommended

    I've run into issues before with a teacher's preferred name not matching their legal name. I do believe this would be helpful.

    Allow me to use the shortened version of my legal name

    yes, use legal name

    This would be very helpful to parents as they try to navigate teachers who may not use their legal name. This is very confusing to parents and students. We have several teachers in our building that this affects.

    Since I have went by my middle name my entire life, it would be helpful to avoid the confusion with my students, parents, and staff to recognize a completely different name.

    Please allow me to use the name I have gone by all of my life. I saw M Evans earlier today and thought who is that? To make matters worse we have two Evans on my campus and no one would recognize me with an M in front of my name. Thank you!

    This would be beneficial and would save errors and needs for revision later. Thank you for considering!

    Please add preferred names.

    Yes, please

    Yes!!! That way parents and students will not have trouble distinguishing between our name in Aeries and our email address. I feel like this is going to be very confusing to parents and students!

    Yes, I agree with having a legal name and preferred name option
