Welcome back to the 2023-24 School Year! If you are a Parent and need information about the Aeries Parent Portal, click here. Otherwise, you can dismiss this.
The Transcript Definition page has been modified so that the Transcript Definition Code selection is at the top of the page within an accordion and collapses upon selection to minimize space. The General tab now includes accordion style categories of options for: Design Options, Demographics, Record Details, GPA Options, Optional Areas, Image Options, and Custom Content. This change in design will limit the amount of space required to display the options on this page. Terms and TTP - Things to Print tabs remain, as they are not affected by the Transcript Definition Code selection, and an information box stating such has been added to each of those tabs. All other tabs now exist within the accordions on the General tab.

If this feature is using to import assignments and scores nightly it will be important to make sure your teachers are aware of this change prior to enabling it.

A new school option has been added to indicate how the All-Day Attendance Code field is managed in Period Attendance schools: ether Manually, or by using an Attendance Time. When Attendance Time is selected there is an option to identify the ADA Time for a school. This option can be used to allow period attendance schools to have a "Home Room" that always meets at a specific time of the day to represent the attendance for the entire day. This is not a recommend attendance accounting method for most CA schools, but is an option for some specialized schools and TX schools. Also, the Variable Attendance Period option on this page has been removed as it is no longer used.
