  1. Update US School K-12 Entry Date with Earliest K-12 Date returned by CALPADS SSID Extract

    When requesting SSIDs for new students, CALPADS is now returning the Earliest K-12 School entry Date. If the date stored in the US School K-12 Date in the Language Assessment screen is different or blank, update the LAC.USS with the date from CALPADS.

    Note this change will not be done until CALPADS resolves Known Issue 5734: SSID Extract pulling most recent enrollment date instead of earliest K-12 enrollment date.

    Hello, this AeriesIdea item has been completed in the 7/13/21 update. Here are the pertinent Revision Note(s):

    CALPADS Extracts

    The SSID import now includes “Earliest Enrollment Start Date K-12”. The LAC.USS field will be updated if the date in the file is different than the one in the system.

  2. Adjust CALPADS SINF extract to support separate Education Levels for Parents/Guardians

    Adjustments needed because of changes CALPADS is making for Parent/Guardian information on the SINF file: Data is now being collected separately for Guardian 1 and Guardian 2: First Name, Last Name, Education Level.

    Need to move extract from taking data from Parent/Guardian field (STU.PG) and now take it from the Contact table.

    Hello, the idea (or bug) has been completed in the 02/12/21 update. Here are the Revision Notes:

    • District Settings – A selection list was added under District Settings for specifying which Record Type codes (CON.CD) represent the parent/guardian.
    • CALPADS Extracts – The SINF extract now gets the Parent/Guardian information from the CON table.
    • The option to choose between residential and mailing address was removed. SINF and SIAD now only use the mailing address.

    Also, the Parent Highest Education Level field (STU.PED) has been made visible/editable on Student Demographics even if the field is empty.

  3. Adjust the CALPADS SPRG Extract when using FRE options

    Adjust the SPRG extract file when using the "SPRG w/o FRE" or "SPRG only FRE" options to populate the file name and the Record Type Code with "SPRG_OTH" instead of "SPRG".

    This will cause the file to error out when uploading to CALPADS and prevent clearing out existing program data in CALPADS.

    Change file name extension and records in the file: to the following:

    'SPRGOTH' when using the "SPRG w/o FRE" option
    'SPRG
    FRE' when using the "SPRG only FRE "option

    Hello, this issue has been resolved in the 02/24/22 update.  Here are the Revision Notes:

    CALPADS Extracts, Enrollment Data Files - In order to prevent accidental deletion of CALPADS data, the SPRG extracts generated with the SPRG w/o FRE or SPRG only FRE options selected have been adjusted to generate with different file names and record types. This will ensure that the file will not be submitted to CALPADS. Only the full SPRG file should be submitted.

  4. TK SPRG record not created for inactive student

    Automatic SPRG records for TK-185 are not being created for a student with an Inactive tag. It is honoring the Enrollment End dates, and SPRG record is being created for NSLP. Without the Status Tag being populated (but enrollment ended) both SPRG records are created with Program End Date as of the last day of enrollment, so the issue is with the status tag field itself. This is only happening in Elem w/MST schools.

    Hello, this issue has been resolved in the 01/20/2022 update. Here are the Revision Notes:

    The CALPADS SPRG process did not create 185 records for inactive TK students, fixed.

  5. Create CALPADS SPRG 185 Records for TK from Student TK Grade Enrollment instead of PGM

    Using PGM to generate SPRG 185 records for TK students is redundant as Aeries already has the -1 grade level for TK students. Adjust the CALPADS SPRG extract to process student ATT/ENR data for the TK Grade Level to generate SPRG 185 records. PGM 185 could still remain and continue to work, but schools should have the option to not use PGM.

  7. SSID Import fails with new CALPADS SpEd Indicator

    CALPADS added a new field to the SSID Extract file to hold a Special Education indicator as of 9/15/2020. We are adjusting our import process to handle this new indicator in a similar fashion as the English Language Acquisition Code and Date in the SSID Extract.

    Hello, this bug has been completed in the 9/17/20 Hot Fix update. Here are the Revision Notes:

    The SSID import has been adjusted to account for the new “Student with Disabilities” column present in the file. Also, the SENR extract has been adjusted to only use E450 for PS, TD, or IN grades.

  8. CRSC extract creating Course Section ID greater than 10 characters in some instances

    In some cases, the system-generated Course Section ID is greater than 10 characters. Specifically this seems to be happening when a course taken at a community college has the HIS.SDE field populated, and the student's enrollment includes a Home Reporting School code. It's that combination of things that's causing the system-generated Course Section ID is greater than 10 characters. Courses reported for other schools don't have that issue, probably because it's the trigger for the Reporting Home School that's adding two additional characters in front of the Course Section ID.

    Hello, a fix for this issue was released on 06/04/2024. Here are the relevant revision notes:

    School Info > Imports and Exports > CALPADS Extracts

    • The CRSC and SCSC extracts generated a fatal error when the Section ID exceeded 10 characters for students with dual enrollment where the section ID for a college course was virtualized. The name in the course section ID is now reformatted to prevent the error.
  9. SELA Conflict Report-Add options for report

    CALPADS - SELA Conflict report - Needs report options added:

    1) Add option to skip Pre-school students (errors reported are invalid for PS)
    2) Have report honor KEEP and SKIPS.
    3) School selector when run at district, or honor Schools tab

    These adjustments were made in the 11/20/2020 update to Aeries:
    SELA Conflict Report – The report has been adjusted to handle Adult English Learner (ADEL) language fluency. Also, it now supports KEEP / SKIP, school selection (when logged at the district and not running the report from the CALPADS page), and the ability to skip Pre-School (PS) grade level.

  11. Calpads Extract EOY

    Would it be possible to put the names of the extracts under the "create files" for EOY like you have had in the past? It looks a bit confusing as to which files fall under the current way it's set up.

  12. CALPADS - Extracts need to skip student with only records in Inactives School

    Add filtering logic to exclude any student from being included in the extracts if the only student record resides in the school(s) designated on District Settings page as an Inactives School.

    Hello, this issue has been resolved in the 02/15/22 update.  Here are the Revision Notes:


    CALPADS Extracts - The SENR extract has been adjusted as it could include students, from the inactive school, who withdrew during the summer (exit reason 470) but had a home school code that was selected to extract.

  13. CALPADS-N470-NoShow records should populate day before enrollment date, NOT day before school starts

    When I extract an SENR file - Extract all data this Year, students who have an SSID number AND are N470 extract in the file. When they are extracted Aeries changes their SWR/Leave date to one day prior to the first day of school according to the school calendar. However, when Aeries changes the enrollment date the SPED record no longer aligns with the enrollment date and it causes a problem every time.

    I will resolve this on my end by removing the SSID number for the student. This will prevent the record from being extracted.

    Surely, I'm not the…

    Hello, this item has been completed in the 2/19/21 Out-Of-Band Update. Here are the Revision Notes:
    CALPADS Extracts

    1) A new setting was added under Other Options to force Parent/Guardian information (SINF/SIAD) to be extracted exclusively from STU.PG and STU.PED. The option is deselected by default. See CALPADS Extracts – Other Options Tab

    2) The Parent/Guardian Highest Education Level will always be pulled from STU.PED, even when processing Guardian information from the CON table. This will remain in place until CALPADS changes the SINF file layout in preparation for 22-23.

  15. Internships - Add CALPADS highlighting

    Please add CA State Code Highlighting to the Internships page, based on the Work-Based Learning Type selected so customers can see what fields are required when doing data entry.

  16. CALPADS Work-Based Learning Extract (WBLR)

    A new extract is being created to submit data related to student internships, student-led enterprises, and virtual/simulated work-based learning. This Work-Based Learning (WBLR) file will be submitted and certified as part of the CALPADS End-of-Year (EOY) 1 submission. Work-based learning provides additional opportunities for students to demonstrate their preparedness for college/career through the College/Career Indicator (CCI) on the California School Dashboard.

    Hello, this idea/bug has been completed in the 11/06/20 update. Here are the Revision Notes:
    CALPADS Extracts
    The new Work-Based Learning (WBLR) extract was added. The extract information is pulled from the recently updated Internships (ISP) table. The extract is located on the EOY tab. Refer to the documentation for more detailed information. See CALPADS Extract – EOY – Work-Based Learning (WBLR) and Internships.

  17. Update STU Code Descriptions to align with CALPADS

    The code descriptions for STU.SWR & STU.EOY need to be updated for the following codes: E450, E400, E140. The descriptions currently do not match the CALPADS definitions. Therefore we continue to have the clerks code elementary students with the 450 code, and the others are also used for the incorrect age of the student.

    We have updated our code table for ATT.RS to reflect the correct descriptions, but are unable to update the codes in STU.

    Because the Highly Qualified field is no longer reported to CALPADS and is obsolete, please turn off the green highlight from the Teachers page and the MST/SMS pages.

    Other fields to be addressed:
    NCLB Core fields
    Voc Ed Level

    Adjust the SPRG ODS Reconciliation process to create Delete records for programs that are in the CALPADS ODS but not in Aeries. Currently, the process only compares existing program records.
