Vector Solutions Information/FAQ
If you are a new employee to the district, or you have changed positions and/or locations within the district, your new information has not yet been uploaded to Vector Solutions. Uploads are daily, so continue to check back frequently.
You have not gone through the full HR process and have been uploaded to Vector Solutions. Check back periodically, as Vector Solutions uploads are the last step of process.
All Vector Solutions online staff development is to be completed within Conroe ISD.
Most likely you have not acknowledged or checked a box that will complete the course in Vector Solutions. Skipping over a section will cause a course to be incomplete. Also, the system uses time restraints, so if you move too quickly through a section, it will not give credit. Refer to the course instructions.
The due date for completion is the same for all employees. Contact your immediate supervisor with questions regarding training due dates.
At your new-hire training, you should have received a list of courses assigned to new teachers. You will complete the courses on that list. Once your Vector Solutions has been updated to your new position, it will self-correct what courses you are assigned.
