The enrollment process has always been important for district personnel to perform.  Student data is extracted from Aeries to accurately inform CALPADS of student enrollment status. In addition to the basic student data elements such as scheduling, attendance and grades, data entry personnel should understand the importance of the student related fields that are required for CALPADS reporting. The following information is provided to assist with the importance of fields that are often overlooked.


See the following links for additional information on CALPADS mandated fields:   

CALPADS Cross Reference by Aeries Page and CALPADS Cross Reference by Extract.


Note:  As with previous screens; there are many data elements to populate for a successful enrollment process. This guide is intended to encourage best practices for student enrollment data management.  


School Enter Date

The School Enter Date which is located on the Student Demographics page needs to be accurately populated.


 

  • School Enter Date (STU.ED) is used along with other areas within Aeries to determine School Entry (Field 1.22). This field is used to provide CALPADS with the school entry data that shows when the student entered the lowest grade at that school and has been continuously enrolled at that school. The STU.ED date should represent the date the student started in the current school. It should NOT be updated to the beginning of the current year. It should be changed any time a student moves to a new school or returns from a different school.
  • District Enter Date (STU.DD) is used for the CALPADS SELA-Student Language Acquisition extract. SSID Enrollment File contains the basic student demographic data (Fields 1.10 – 1.13).
  • Enrollment History (ENR) can be used also to inform CALPADS on the school start date.



Enrollment Status

CALPADS requires an enrollment code for every student that indicates enrollment status.  Students are automatically assigned with a code of blank which can indicate Primary Enrollment (CALPADS Code Translations).  For students who need any of the other enrollment codes, the STU.SP field should be used to indicate any of the other programs. The staff needs to be informed regarding the significance of this field for proper data management and sustainability.

Other District Enrollment (ODE)

The Other District Enrollment form can be used to document s student’s previous or future school or district information. In the Aeries Web Version, the Other District Enrollment page is on the Enrollment History page on the Other District Enrollment tab.



Record Access Log (RAL)

As students enroll and withdraw from your school the Record Access Log could be used to document information associated with the move. Use this page for entering key data for records received or requested. This information can be used as a resource on a student’s mobility or identification when clearing CALPAD anomalies. Other areas within Aeries can also be used to manage this information; it's best to track this information in a consistently.
