Translations ↑
- If the Aeries Codes match the CALPADS Codes, the codes do not need to be translated and will not display on this page.
- Certain values must be translated. Language Fluency, Enrollment Status, Exit Reason, Parent Ed Level, Primary Residence Category and others should be verified before creating extracts.
- Blank Aeries values can be translated to a CALPADS code and Aeries code values can be translated to blanks with the exception of Dispositions (DSP.DS).
- The Add Default Translations button will add CALPADS translation values to the list of potential translations (this functionality was formally provided by the Update XRF button).
- The Add Local Codes button will add any existing local Aeries values for a Code Set. The button is grayed out until a Code Set is selected from the dropdown.
- Codes that are added to the code table but do not want extracted to CALPADS must be added and translated to a blank on the CALPADS side.
NOTE: Local codes that match the CALPADS codes do not need to be translated and do not need to display on the Code Translation tab. However, the values are available if you want to use them but it is not required. Certain values must be translated.

Code Translation Examples ↑
Reporting Language (STU.HL)
Beginning 2023-24 school year, the CALPADS Primary Languages have been changed to 3 character codes and will be required for the CALPADS SELA extract file. Effective 2023/24 schoolyear, Aeries will translate any existing 2 character code from (STU.HL) to match the 3 character code on the Translations tab. Districts can add additional translations when necessary by adding the 2 digit code to the COD table, then adding a new language code translation to the XRF Code Translations tab in CALPADS Extracts.
See New CALPADS Language Codes or How to add a New 3 character CALPADS Language code to Aeries.
NOTE: Beginning 2023/2024 school year, the Language codes submitted to CALPADS in the SELA extract will need to be mapped to new 3 character Language codes.
Student Grade (STU.GR)
Below is an example of the Student Grade (STU.GR) Code Set. The Student Grade- STU.GR will automatically translate grade 0 to "KN" and will automatically add the leading zero to grades 1-9. You only need to enter translation values for grades higher than 12 and less than 0.
NOTE: Beginning July 1st 2023 for the 2023/2024 school year, the grade level of TK - Transitional Kindergarten will need to be translated in the CALPADS Code Translations. A warning message will display if the Aeries Transitional Kindergarten grade is not translated to the new CALPADS TK grade.
