Portal Scheduling	A new Student field has been added called Online Scheduling Group. This new field can be attached to students and each group can have unique date ranges available in the portal to edit various elements of scheduling from the Portal Options page. This field uses values from the COD table and can be added/editing for a student on the Course Requests page. https://support.aeries.com/support/solutions/articles/14000099756-arena-scheduling-beta-

CALPADS Extracts	The CRSE and CRSC extracts have been updated to honor the new layout for 2019-20. Nine new columns have been added to these extracts (9.28-9.36). Please review the documentation for further details. Also, adjusted the rounding logic in the STAS file because, in some cases, it could perform an improper rounding. Also, the SINF extract had the potential to include other districts CDS codes if the database contained more than one district, fixed. Also, in some cases, the SINF could include schools not selected for processing, fixed.
Teachers	Seven new fields have been added to the TCH table for using with CALPADS reporting for Elementary Schools.
CALPADS Extracts	The SPRG extract has been updated to use the new PGS table when retrieving services for Title I program (122). The PGM.SR field is no longer used. Also, the translations have been updated to reflect this change.
CALPADS Extracts	The SENR reconciliation logic has been adjusted to delete SENR records coming from CALPADS, for the current year, when a student does not have any ENR data in the current year. https://support.aeries.com/support/solutions/articles/14000077206-calpads-extracts-senr-ods-reconciliation
CALPADS Extracts	The SELA extract had the potential of not including students (EL or IFEP) in the extract if the Initial Test Date (LAC.ITD) matched the IFEP date (LAC.IFD) or the Program Start date (LAC.SD). Also, the extract will now include students with Non-ADA enrollment (50).
Secondary Student Data	The Post-Secondary Status field has been added to the SSD table for CALPADS reporting.

Activities and Awards	A new type, "Certifications, Licenses and Program Completions" has been added to this table. This new field will be used to identify ACT records that are linked to outcomes of certain programs like Career Pathways. Also, an optional "Career Pathway" field has been added to link records with a specific Career Pathways. These enhancements are designed to help transition away from the use of the CPO (Career Pathway Outcomes) table and to instead use a single table with ACT. https://support.aeries.com/support/solutions/articles/14000107031-activities-and-awards
Career Pathways	A new section is available for "Activities and Awards".
Ed-Fi Beta	Several significant enhancements: (1) Ed-Fi Configuration page now includes the ability to select specific entities to restrict view and upload access to the ODS. (2) Data deletion has been added to synchronization, so that when data is deleted in Aeries it will also be removed from the ODS. (3) A single job will now sync all entities in the correct order. It can be immediately triggered from the Ed-Fi Test page and the Ed-Fi Configuration page on the Schedule tab. And nightly jobs can be scheduled to trigger the single job full sync. (4) Descriptor caching can now be cleared from the Ed-Fi Test page. (5) The SQL for getting Aeries data for Cohort related entities were modified to fix some upload errors. (6) Several miscellaneous Ed-Fi Test page UI and UX enhancements.
Special Programs	Program Services are now stored in a new table: PGS. Existing data in the PGM.SR field will be converted to this new table. The Program Services field has been converted from a dropdown to a multi-select field.

School Options	New options at the district level have been added to allow districts to participate in a Survey from UC Davis. https://support.aeries.com/support/solutions/articles/14000107370-uc-davis-parent-guardian-college-readiness-survey-overview
Parent Portal	The Home Page of the parent portal will now display a message to parents of 12th graders if they would like to participate in the UC Davis Survey. This only displays if enabled at the district level in School Options. https://support.aeries.com/support/solutions/articles/14000107370-uc-davis-parent-guardian-college-readiness-survey-overview
