​Mandatory Compliance Training: 2021-22
This year's mandatory compliance training certificates are due on August 12th, 2021.  

Some key things to remember are:
  • In order to receive your certificates, once you complete the courses, you'll need to complete the course evaluations.
  • No one at VISD is able to help you with your Region 11 login or with technical issues relating to the compliance training courses.  You must contact Region 11's help desk for support.
  • Region 11 generates certificates weekly, so you may end up waiting up to a week for your course evaluation and certificate to be available.  If you wait until August 12 to complete the compliance training, it is highly unlikely that your certificates will be available the same day.

Required Training for 2021-2022 School Year:
  1. ADA for Online Content  
  2. Anaphylaxis and Epinephrine Use

​Once you complete the training, you will need to enter some information in order to get your certificate.  Enter Venus ISD for the Contracting Entity Name and 00670 for the CE Identification Number.  Print your certificate and give it to your campus front office so they can forward it to Mrs. McCormick.

ALICE eLearning

In order to keep our students, and each other, safe in the event of a violent critical incident, all staff members must complete ALICE eLearning training by August 12, 2021.  The online training is self paced and will help you understand appropriate ways to react in a variety of situations.  You can log into your ALICE account via the link below.  Your username is your Venus ISD email address.

https://portal.alicetraining.com/auth/SignIn.aspx

If you are new to Venus ISD, you have been emailed a welcome email with a link to set up your password.  If you never received a welcome email (sometimes the online system has trouble sending them out), email warren.hudson@venusisd.net and let Mr. Hudson know so he can have the system resend your welcome email.  

If you are a returning employee, you can log in with your information from last year.  If you do not know your password, use the forgot password link on the sign in page.

Once you complete your training, you do not need to send your certificate to anyone.  Your completion status is logged in the system, and your administrator and I can see who has completed the training.

KnowB4

Employees are also required to complete network security training via the KnowB4 system regularly in order to use the district's technology systems.   When training is required, you will be notified via email.  Click the link below to access KnowB4.  Contact the Technology Department if you are unable to log in.
