The GRPS Electronic Mentoring System is an online system that allows principals to assign mentor matches, mentors to accept assignments and log meetings, and mentees to have documentation of their mentor/mentee logs that count for new teacher PD credit via the mentors.grps.org website. This electronic system has been customized to house and track all GREA mentoring activities from start to finish.

- Click on the Meetings tab located at the top of the page or the “meetings” button next to your mentor’s name.
- To view the information submitted by your mentor, click the “confirm/reject” button to open.
- After reviewing, click “confirm” or “reject” to change the status of the meeting.
- If there is a discrepancy in the information submitted, click “reject.” A follow-up conversation or email with the mentor will need to take place.
- To view any documents posted by your mentor, click on the Documents tab to view.
Part 2: Mentor Meetings Automatically Submitted into KALPA
Once the mentor submits the mentoring log in the electronic mentoring system, the mentee's mentoring hours are automatically transferred to KALPA as a New Teacher Mentor Meeting course. No additional action is required by the mentee.
Do not submit a Special Request for mentor meeting hours. Special Requests are not used to record mentoring hours and will delay the approval process.
Contact Patrice Pierre at pierrep@grps.org if you are in your 1st, 2nd, or 3rd year of classroom teaching and are missing the new teacher PD requirement in your PD Plan.
