Weekly Progress Emails	For Aeries Communications customers, Weekly Progress Emails will now take advantage of the power of Aeries Communications to deliver this important content to parents and students via their preferred methods of communication including text message, email, and directly in their Aeries Communications feed.

Aeries Financials	A new Late Fee feature is now available in Aeries Financials. When enabled from the Nightly Process Config page, a late fee will automatically be applied to student accounts that have a past due scheduled payment. The amount of the late fee and the number of days "grace period" are both configurable. Also, reminder emails are now available for students with upcoming scheduled payments. A First Reminder and Second Reminder can be enabled from the Nightly Process Config page. Also, an email confirmation will now be sent to the student when Autopay is enabled and the automatic payment is processed. https://support.aeries.com/support/solutions/articles/14000064546
Mass Add Credit Financial Transactions	This is a new page that allows office staff to mass add credit transactions to students through Aeries Financials. It supports Query KEEP/SKIP to narrow down the group of students
Student Withdrawal Form report	6 new options have been added to this report to print additional pieces of information: Financials, Fees, Checked Out Assets, Checked Out Books, Enrollment and Pre-Printed Letterhead. Also, this report can now be run for multiple students from View All Reports.
Security Groups	A new "Print Effective Permissions" button has been added to this page. After selecting a group, click the "Print Effective Permissions" button to run the report for the selected group. The report will show effective permissions based on a combination of security group inheritance and permissions granted directly to the group.
CALPADS Extracts	The SELA extract has been adjusted to evaluate the Initial ELPAC test date (LAC.IFD) field for EL and IFEP students. This will allow the SELA file to extract students who took the Initial ELPAC test in the summer. Also, the Direct Certification Import has been updated to support 'Non-Eligible' codes in FRE. There were some instances in which the free/reduced record from the direct certification file would not import if there was a FRE record with a code other than 'F' or 'R'. https://support.aeries.com/support/solutions/articles/14000074731-calpads-sela-import-sela-extract

One additional revision note item in this build that we forgot to mention: Aeries Financials: For the Payment Type dropdown, "Credit Adjustment" was changed to "Credit" on both Mass Add Credit page and Add Payment popup. Also, since this dropdown uses a combination of fixed codes and code table values, data in the COD table was adjusted accordingly, and the Update Code Table page was adjusted to prevent using the hard-coded values of "Credit" or "MCred" (mass add credit).
