CALPADS no longer allow special characters in Contacts
CALPADS SINF is pulling parent contact names causing an Invalid Character error.
16 votesThis is a CALPADS bug on their end. They DO intend to allow these special characters again, so we will not be changing our process at this time. If the
SINF update is needed, the customer either needs to make it manually in OM, or remove the offending characters from Aeries, but ALSO delete the CALPADS log entries for that change (the ones that contain the offending characters) so they won't be extracted also.

We would like a report option to print transcripts with the students immunization record on the reverse side of the page.
We would like the option to print transcripts with the immunization record on the reverse side of the page. This would help with student records retention. The transcript and immunization record are permanent records, required to be kept indefinitely. Many schools are running out of space to store these records. If the two could be combined front to back it would save on storage space.
2 votesAeries allows for immunizations to be included on the transcript. This can be set up on the Transcript Definition > Things to Print tab. If you are using the 3-column transcript there are some limitations to how much can be printed in the the Things to Print area, you may want to look into using the Enhanced 1-column transcript.
Here is some documentation:

Manage Teacher Portal Accounts - Enhance to include an Identity Provider field

Courses
Add the ability to assign CA specific settings at the course level instead of section level. Such as Local Assignment Options and Instructional Strategy.
1 voteIn some districts these fields could be unique between different schools therefore they are only available at the Master Schedule Section level.

CALPADS Extract Pull From LSI.GN
Can we please have the extract pull from the LSI.GN field if the student has data populated in that field? It makes sense to extract from that field, particularly since if the LIS.LLN and LSI.LFN is populated that data gets extracted. We have a student (and surely more to come) that identify as a different gender. Populating the STU.GN with the students preferred gender is causing CALPADS fatal errors.
31 votesThe definition for Student Gender in CALPADS CSF document is posted below. Therefore, until that guidance is changed by CALPADS, we will continue to pull from the Preferred Gender field (STU.GN):
SINF Field 2.19: Student Gender Code - A coded value representing the person's gender. Gender is a person's actual sex or perceived sex and includes a person's perceived identity, appearance or behavior, whether or not that identity, appearance, or behavior is different from that traditionally associated with a person's sex at birth.
The code values reported are: M, F or X.

Parent Weekly Grade Update in Parent Square
In Parent Square, allow parents to sign up for Weekly Grade notification. Currently offered in Portal, but parents cannot do this inside of app. Why do they need to go to 2 platforms?
1 voteHi Ali, Unfortunately, we won't be able to accept this request to allow users to control the weekly progress report emails through ParentSquare. Our integration with ParentSquare is not set up to handle this type of action. ParentSquare primarily serves as a communication platform, and facilitates that communication to various parties over a variety of configurable communication types, but ParentSquare never dictates what information comes out of Aeries.

Update the auto-creation process for SPRG Code 185-TK program records to verify the grade level
Update the auto-creation process for SPRG Code 185-TK program records to verify the grade level of the actual ENR records to determine the start date of the TK program record, if it changed after the beginning of the student's enrollment record that year. The SPRG TK record should start as of the first day of TK enrollment for the school year.
18 votesNo longer needed since Program 185 it not a valid program record any longer.

Multi-Factor Authentication - longer "Remember me" time
When you enable MFA, users have a checkbox to remember their log in for 30 days. I'd like districts to be able to make that time period longer.
4 votesHi, Due to our security direction, we are not able to honor this request. Thank you.

Copy teacher record from one site to another
Would be really helpful to be able to copy a teacher record from one site to another.
2 votesWith our focus on having a model where individual teacher records are not duplicated at each school, we will be declining this idea at this time. Thank you for your feedback!

Flag/Pop-up when Email in Contacts and Parent Portal don't match.
Trying to work on Data Validations and Email Addresses. A secretary wanted to know why Aeries doesn't have a pop-up or something if the parent creates a Portal Account with a different email address than what is in Contacts. And, vice versa, if someone adds or changes an email address in Contacts, why doesn't it say Doesn't Match Portal Account email, or something like that. Specifically if the Contacts page is set to Yes for Parent Portal. Geez, I hope that makes sense.
Thank you!!!11 votesThe new security model will prevent having separate email addresses for the User account and the Contact record

Display Student ID in Gradebook
There is a new feature that allows the display of the Student ID directly in the gradebook. It would be helpful to allow the option of showing the “Student Number” instead.
3 votesThe Aeries Student ID number is unique to each student, and generally never changes. In the spirit of eliminating the student number throughout Aeries, which does change over time, we have decided to decline this request. It is still open for voting and comments and we will review in the future based on feedback received.

TREx Export - Add TestName for ARR Transcript.
TestName in the documentation for AAR is not included but it really should be since assessment data is more meaningful/usable with it
2 votesAfter further review of TREx Data Standards, we will not be including the subtest scores in the TREx export at this time.

Add a Warning on the Scheduling Setup Page for Flex Scheduling
From Trainers: If a district is transitioning to Flex for the first time and they copy over MST each, they must reach out to support for the conversion. So if they select the Flex option - a popup should appear that states something like, "If transitioning to Flex the copy MST feature is not enabled. Select the Scheduling Students into classes for Next Year option and contact support to enable for Flex". Also, if converting to Flex for the first time, the Copy MST should be disabled and not an option.
5 votesThis is an old idea. A feature is already available that allows a school to convert from non-flex to flex without the need to contact support.

Active teachers in table
Only show ACTIVE teachers when looking at the teachers listed in the teacher table. Have a box to include inactive as an option
2 votesThanks for your feedback! We will soon be discontinuing the Teachers table in favor of our new Section Staff and Flex Scheduling model which utilizes Staff data. This will not be an issue since the Staff page already supports filtering for active staff members.

Make Staff ID (STF.ID) editable
We have a need for the staff id (STF.ID) to be editable. I understand that it is linked to many tables but I am hoping that logic can be created that would update all related tables when STF.ID is edited.
2 votesThe Staff ID field (STF.ID) is not editable because it is a unique identifier (primary key) for a staff member, so we do not plan to add any functionality to edit it at this time. This is similar to course IDs which cannot be changed. What can be done is a new staff record could be created and then all references to the old staff ID be changed if absolutely necessary.

Multi-colored Flags
I recommend having multi-colored flags for different alerts, i.e. yellow flag = health; red flag = court orders; blue flag = SPED, orange flag = extreme behavior, etc.
All flags should show up next to the students picture no matter what screen you are on.
17 votesHi! Thank you for sharing your idea with us. While this functionality is not currently on our roadmap, we truly value your input and appreciate your contribution.

Online Enrollment - match to Previous Year Databases
We would like the ability for the Online Enrollments Import Process to look through previous year's databases. Parents who had kids attend a school many years prior, but their records never moved to the Inactive School, are not able to be matched to an existing record. This means the district has to manually add the student without using Online Enrollment.
1 voteThank you for your idea. The use of an inactive school is a recommended procedure in Aeries. If there are students not in the inactive school, it may be prudent to work with our support team to do a one-time cleanup process to move all missing students to the current year inactive school.

Google Authentication - Log users out of Google when they log out of Aeries
When users, including parents and students, log out of Aeries it signs them out of Aeries, but does not currently log them out of Google. Please adjust the process to have an option to also log the user out of Google.
3 votesHi, This idea will not be implemented as Google is used for many things beyond logging into the SIS.
- Don't see your idea?
