Aeries Revision Notes 1/25/2022

New Features:

  • Transcripts - A new Section School (HIS.SSC) field was added and is visible by clicking More. The new field was automatically populated for existing records based on data in the School Taken (HIS.ST) field for all records which have a valid section number (HIS.SE > 0). See How can I have transcripts reflect the Home Reporting School?

  • Independent Study - The supervisor teacher check box is now only displayed if the selected account type is an aeries.net user. See Independent Study Agreements

  • Mass Change or Add Course Requests - The page now supports selecting the same course multiple times, which facilitates scenarios where students need multiple requests for the same course such as Fall and Spring or non-contiguous periods. See Student Course Requests.

California Specific:

  • Copy Grades to Transcripts 

    • The Populate School Taken with Home School option was added. 

    • Processes that create new transcript records will now populate the Section School field when the existing Section field is populated: 

      • Copy Grades to Transcripts

      • Grades (Copy to Transcript button)

      • Classes/Course Attendance (Issue Credit button)

  • CALPADS Extracts - Files that use transcript data now rely on the new Section School (HIS.SSC) field instead of School Taken (HIS.ST) when determining where a section belongs. This logic applies to Fall 2: CRSE and CSCE files; and EOY: CRSC and SCSC files. 

Texas Specific:

  • Copy Grades to Transcripts 

    • The Populate School Taken with School of Accountability option was added. 

    • Processes that create new transcript records will now populate the Section School field when the existing Section field is populated:

      • Copy Grades to Transcripts

        Grades (Copy to Transcript button)

        Classes/Course Attendance (Issue Credit button)

Issues Resolved:

  • Flex SMS Board/SMS Board - Classes could not be added or edited since the January 18 update, fixed.

  • Demographics and Attendance Enrollment - An invalid message "Student does not have an Attendance Enter after a 440 Leave" was displayed for students with primary and secondary enrollment records when the 440 code existed in both records, fixed. 

  • Attendance Audit Listing Report - An invalid error "AE:  Student does not have an Attendance Enter after a 440 Leave" was printed for students with primary and  secondary enrollment records when the 440 code existed in both records, fixed. 

  • Student Attendance - Users were unable to change attendance or add or modify an attendance note at the district level, fixed.

  • Student Contacts Report - The Correspondence Language label had a typo, fixed. 

  • Civil Rights Data Collection 

    • On the Cert. Teachers & Codes tab, under Disciplined for Harassment Settings, the AND and OR buttons disappeared when populating a record, fixed.  See Civil Rights Setup - Cert. Teachers and Codes Tab

      In the Discipline section, the AND and OR buttons were added for Possession of a firearm or explosive device.  

  • Texas State Reporting - For Texas customers, the ECDS Kindergarten Student Enrollment extract will now extract all schools a student was enrolled in rather than just the most recent one within the testing window. 


Database Changes:

  • Course History (HIS) - Added a new Section School (SSC) field.
