The safety of our students and staff is our highest priority. To support a secure and healthy learning environment, we are pleased to provide all employees with access to the Vector SafeSchools Online Training System. We believe these courses offer essential insights and practical tools to help you navigate campus safety with confidence.
KnowBe4 is boldly pushing the boundaries of its brand identity to new heights to reflect a focus on human risk management while helping IT and cybersecurity professionals elevate their protection efforts regarding company risk. It goes beyond phishing, training and boundaries to transform the unpredictable into the unstoppable to rise above risk.

UISD 2026-2027 Trade Off Days
United ISD highly values professional learning hours for each school year. Trade off days are built into the academic calendar as Staff Holidays in exchange for professional learning hours outside of contract time.
** Follow Campus Schedule for Workday
Trade Time Opportunities
Teachers have the flexibility to earn trade time based on their participation. During Summer Learning Opportunities, completing a full day of sessions earns 7 hours, while attending the full two-days earns a total of 14 hours. Trade off days are integrated into the academic calendar, allowing for professional development activities to be conducted outside of instructional time during designated teacher workdays.
