Add Students With Aeries Analytics™
Session Required for Attendance
Overview
There are several ways to add students to a session:
- Add by student numbers or Student ID on the Students (ATA) tab
- Add by Master Schedule section number for a secondary school or Teacher # for an elementary school. This will add all students in a section or a class.
- Add with “Allow Walk-ins” option during Sign In or scanning
- Add with Aeries Analytics™
Click the mouse on the Students (ATA) tab to enter the students for this session. The Effective Date defaults to today and will be the Start Date for the students. Change the Effective Date before adding students if the session Start Date is not today.
Click the mouse on the Input button and the following input form will display. Enter student numbers or ID numbers separated by spaces and click the mouse on the Insert Students button.
The students will automatically be added and displayed to the list.
Click the mouse on the Load Students button to display students scheduled in the session.
The Add New Record button can also be used to add students. Select Add New Record, then use the Search icon to search for a student name. Select the student and click the mouse on the Save icon.
Link MST Section/Link Teacher ↑
To add students by Master Schedule Section Number enter the section number in the Linked MST Section field.
For an Elementary school the field is labeled as Linked Teacher. Enter the teacher number from the drop-down list of teachers stored in the TCH table.
After the Section or teacher number is populated, click the mouse on the Students (ATA) tab. When linking a teacher number, Verify the Effective Date on the right side of the page. This is the start date that will be used when adding the students. The Effective Date will default to today but can be changed before adding students. When linking an MST section, the Course Attendance (CAR) table will be used to populate Start and End Dates, so the Effective Date is not utilized.
Click the mouse on the Add Students from Linked Teacher button to add the students. In a secondary school, the button will be labeled Add Students from Linked Section.
NOTE: While a Session is linked to an MST section, changes to CAR will automatically sync to the Supplemental Attendance Students (ATA) table. A verification message will display, click the mouse on the OK button.
Click the mouse on the Load Students button to display students scheduled in the session.
NOTE: The Start date can be adjusted manually for each student on the Students tab. Click the mouse on the Edit icon to the left of the student record to change the date.

Students can be moved or copied to other sessions by using the Move or Copy buttons on the right side of the page. To tag a student, click the box to the far right of the student record. Enter a session number from the New Session dropdown.

After students have been added to a session, Participation Reason codes can be assigned to the students. Participation Reason codes are optional and can be used to tag students with the reason they are in a particular session. Reports can be grouped or sorted by the student’s Participation Reason.
On the Students (ATA) tab, click the mouse on the Edit icon to the left of the student record and select the code from the Reason dropdown. Below is an example of some codes that can be added to the Code table.

Session Required for Attendance ↑
If the Session is linked to an ATT Period, then the Req Att option will display when adding or editing a record on the Students (ATA) tab. In a situation where a student may be enrolled in multiple Supplemental Attendance sessions that are linked to the same period, checking this option will count only this session when updating period attendance for this student based on Supplemental Attendance data.
