Aeries Student Portal

The Aeries Student Portal, or simply Aeries, is a student information system used for keeping track of student grades, enrolled classes, electives, and other basic student information. IPoly switched to Aeries from Blackboard's Easy Grade Pro in 2012.

Features
Here is some basic information for navigating Aeries.

Class Summary
The Class Summary is where the gradebook is displayed. Here, students can check on their grades. Going from left to right, the different columns of information are: Period (which is not relevant to IPoly students), Course, Teacher, Room, Gradebook (class name), Mark, Trend, Missing Assignments, and (ignoring irrelevant columns) Last Updated.

The 'Trend' column shows the trend of the grade in the class. Trend is calculated by first adding all the points earned then dividing by the total number of possible points. Then, to determine the direction of the trend, find the average of the score in the class. More information is available in the references.

If a class you know you are enrolled in is not showing, click on the 'Options' button in the top right of the table and check 'Show All Classes.'

Attendance Summary
The Attendance Summary displays the number of absences, tardies, and unexcused absences.

Student Data
Student Data lists other miscellaneous information about the student, such as mailing address, emergency contact information, district transferred from, student's email, and birth city.

Perhaps the most important information on this page is under 'Sched Grp', or 'Scheduled Group'. Scheduled Group shows which house the student will be in for the coming year. Freshman can use this to find their house early for That's Infotainment!.
