FOCUS-34660- Test Score Reports - Add support for FAST Test Score Reports

Only applicable for Florida State Reporting customers. The FLDOE announced on August 12, 2022, that the TIDE Family Portal would not have the FAST test results available in time for Florida school districts to meet state statutes. In response to this announcement, Focus has expanded our Test Score Reports functionality to handle the FAST reports. The FAST test score reports received from the test vendor must be placed in the district's uploaded assets folder called test_score_reports/FAST. The new file naming convention:

{FLEID}_AllTestReasons_{TEST}{YEAR_RANGE}_StudentISRs_124237018 PM.pdf.

Test Score Reports work with the built-in scheduled job titled "Generate Test Score Report records based on report files."

FOCUS-34540- API - /classes - Add academicSession object to metadata

The OneRoster API dialect does not include a direct link to a class' academicSession (MP). Instead, it provides a "terms" array, which can only hold Semesters but not Years in the case of Full Year classes. This branch adds an academicSession object and academicSessionTitle to the metadata.

FOCUS-34528- Future Active Students Active on Re-Enrollment Forms.

Currently, the re-enrollment setup does not recognize students as active during the assume active period after a school year has been changed but before the first day of school and thus will not show the re-enrollment form on the parent or student portal when the Parent Portal or Student Portal box has been checked in Re-Enrollment Setup. To have the re-enrollment form show up in the parent/student portal, the box for Parent Portal of Inactive Students or Inactive Student Portal has to be marked. With this branch, the re-enrollment form will display in both the student and parent portal when Parent Portal and Student Portal have been flagged in Re-Enrollment Setup without requiring checking inactive status (students and parents are considered active for the current school year before the start date.)
