The ability to define an "Add-On" report card type is now available in Aeries. An Add-On report card type, defined in the COD table, allows a student to be graded both on the default set of standards for their grade level and an additional set of "Add-On" standards. The Teacher SBG page will include both the default and Add-On standards for each student with an Add-On report card type defined. Printing a report card for these students will print both the default report card and a second Add-On report for the same student. For more information please refer to the documentation.
This process now supports the 2018-19 file layouts (based on the latest Special Ed Data Model v3.2 from the CDE). Please note that the column headings must match the specification in order for the files to be imported successfully. As of the time of this release, we are aware that SEIS is not generating the expected column headings, so their files will not work unless the header row is corrected before loading to Aeries. Files from other Special Ed vendors such as SIRAS have tested successfully. For backward compatibility with last year's layouts, the process will automatically detect the layout by examining the header row and run the correct routine. Also, if the scheduled import was set up to include the Services file, but the user did a one-time upload including only the Students file, an error would occur, fixed.
Student ID Cards report
Student ID Card printing is now available in Aeries web, converted from the Aeries Client.
