The Check-Ins feature lets teachers gauge how students are feeling during a class session. Students receive a prompt to select from a series of emojis or choose **I'd rather not say**, then submit their response. Teachers can also message students directly from the Check-Ins interface. GoGuardian Teacher dashboard ## Start a Check-In 1. While a class session is active, go to the **Check-Ins** tab. 2. Click **Start Check-In** to send the prompt to students. Students have approximately 2 minutes to submit their responses. 3. If you want to close the prompt before the timer runs out, click **Stop Check-In**. 4. Each student's response appears next to their name under the **Response** column. Students who didn't respond in time show **Didn't Receive** with a **Resend** button next to their name. Click **Preview Student's View** to see the Check-In prompt exactly as students will see it before you send it. image.png Check-In2.png ## Resend to Students Who Didn't Respond If a student didn't complete the Check-In in time, click **Resend** next to their name. This resubmits the prompt for that student. ## Send a Message to a Student Click **Send Message** from the **Check-Ins** tab to message a student directly. For more on direct messaging, see [Use Teacher Chat](/products/teacher/use-teacher-chat). Check-in4.png ## Access Previous Check-Ins Check-In results are saved in class session history. Use the drop-down menu to select a previous Check-In date and review past results. Reviewing Check-In trends over time can help identify patterns for students who may need encouragement, additional support, or referral to a school guidance counselor. Check-Ins doesn't include an export function. To save a record, use the print command — **Ctrl + P** on Windows or **Command + P** on Mac — to save a PDF copy of the page and students' Check-In results. image.png Access Previous Check-Ins image.png ## Resources Message students directly and access previous chat conversations.
