Portal Options - Allow Finalizing Grade Posting by grade level
At end of year we often finalize grades with graduating students grades being due first. Because we have different deadlines we often aren't able to finalize grades for seniors and are only able to do this in the transcripts. There is no way for us to copy grade history without copying it for all students. There should be a way to do this by grade level to support year end activities.

Add the ability to automatically close or lock grade entry for 12th-grade students on a district-defined date.
Provide an Aeries feature that allows districts to establish a specific grade-level closing date for Grade 12. Once the designated date and time are reached, grade entry for Grade 12 students would automatically be closed or restricted.
This would be particularly useful for districts that need to establish a firm deadline for senior grades prior to final transcript processing, graduation reporting, CALPADS reporting, and other end-of-year processes.
Suggested Functionality:
Allow Aeries administrator to specify a grade-level closing date and time.
Allow the setting to apply specifically to Grade 12.
Once the date/time is reached, prevent teachers from entering or modifying grades for Grade 12 students.
Ideally, allow the feature to be configured separately for each school/site when needed.Example Use Case
A district could set June 5 at 5:00 PM as the Grade 12 grade-closing deadline. After that date and time, teachers would no longer be able to modify senior grades through normal grade-entry screens. Authorized administrators could still make corrections through an override process.
This would provide districts with greater control over the senior grading process and help ensure that grades remain finalized while graduation, transcript, and state reporting processes are being completed.
Requested Enhancement: Grade-level-specific automatic grade closing/locking based on a configurable date and time.
