Aeries Revision Notes 10/14/2020

Page / ReportComment
Weekly Engagement ReportA new report has been added to Aeries that contains all the elements of the CDE Template for SB-98 Engagement and Participation Tracking. This report takes Class Calendar, Gradebook, Attendance and Weekly Instructional Minutes Certification data and displays it on the Weekly Engagement Report. This report is available under a new section titled Hybrid Instruction and is also available in the Teacher Portal.

School SettingsThis page has been updated to feature two new options supporting the new Weekly Engagement Report. A flag has been added to determine whether class calendar data, the Weekly Assignment section, will be included in the report. Also, a list indicating which attendance notes, when applicable, will be included in the report.

Teacher Attendance and Portal OptionsA new portal option has been added to "Only Allow Teachers to Override Attendance Codes listed". With this option, teachers will not be able to override a Verified Absence Code except when that Attendance Code is available to be used by a teacher. Due to recent changes for Distance Learning attendance accounting, teachers have been given access to use some Verified Attendance Codes but this presented problems because teachers had to either be allowed to override ANY Verified Absence Code or get stuck with that code after having used it. This new option fixes that. This option is mutually exclusive to the option to "Allow teachers to override verified absences".

Texas State ReportingFor TSDS collections, blank Teacher Positions in section staff will now be reported as Teacher Of Record for records marked as primary with a blank staff role, or with an 087 or 047.

Texas State ReportingThe Class Roster Staff extract had the potential to extract duplicate records for section staff, fixed. The Class Roster Ed Org extract was not extracting courses with course level 30, 37, or 38, fixed. The Class Roster Ed Org and Master Schedule extracts now extract the state course code as well as the LEA course code.
