​Mandatory Compliance Training: 2020-21
This year's mandatory compliance training certificates are due to Kelly.Morris@venusisd.net on August 12th, 2020.  

The following thirteen courses must be completed:
Bloodborne Pathogens
Bullying Prevention
Child Abuse & Maltreatment
Copyright
FERPA: Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act
Internet Safety
Section 504
Sexual Harassment

Thirteen courses are required this year; this is different than in years past. To register for and complete the compliance training courses, follow the steps below:
 
1.      Go to https://www.esc11.net/Page/6884 and click on the “R” icon (for registration).  Follow the instructions on the web page.  This process will have you enter the email address associated with your Region 11 account, your Region 11 password, and verify your information (if you’re new to the district, be sure to ensure that you have Venus ISD for the district).  If you do not have a Region 11 account, you will enter your email address and set up your account.  Once you have verified your information, scroll to the bottom of the page and click Register Now.
2.      To access the compliance training courses, you can click the “Click Here to Login to Canvas” button that will appear when you have completed the registration process, or go to https://www.esc11.net/Page/6884 and click on the “A” icon (for access) and follow the instructions to log into Region 11’s Canvas system.  You will log in with your Region 11 account username/email address and password.  The compliance training courses should be visible in Region 11’s Canvas system within 15 minutes (likely immediately).
Be aware that the compliance training courses will NOT appear in Venus ISD’s Canvas system; they will appear only in Region 11’s Canvas system, https://esc11.instructure.com.
 
3.      Once your courses are complete, go to https://ontrac.esc11.net/mytranscripts.asp (you will need to log in with your Region 11 username and password to access this site), download your transcripts and then email them to Mrs. Morris at Kelly.Morris@venusisd.net.  They process certificates on a weekly basis, so you may need to wait up to one week for your certificates to be available.
 
If you need technical assistance getting registered, logging in, completing the courses, etc. contact Region 11’s help desk by going to https://www.esc11.net/Page/6884 and clicking the “H” icon (for help), and follow the instructions.  Compliance training is completely Region 11’s system, and you are responsible for your own Region 11 account and password.  Regrettably, no one with Venus ISD is able help you with any issues associated with compliance training.  If you have questions about compliance training not related to technical issues, you can contact Kelly Morris, Venus ISD’s Director of Human Resources at  Kelly.Morris@venusisd.net.
