How does my mentee prepare for their check-in?

If a student is scheduled to have a check-in on that day, they will be immediately notified to prepare for their check-in by completing the pre-work, if applicable.

To complete their check-in pre-work, students will:

1. Navigate to the Week page or Year page.

How can I access my mentee's check-in re-work?

Prior to each mentoring check-in, students prepare for sessions by completing pre-work within the platform. Check-in pre-work is always editable by students up until the time of the check-in and is viewable by all of their teachers and mentor. Students are not able to access their pre-work after they complete the check-in.

To access your mentee’s check-in prework,

1. From the Mentor page, click on the mentee’s name
2. From the mentee’s page, you can view the mentee’s responses to the pre-work on the right-hand side
