Signing up for Slack
Written by Daphne Lim - Updated
KIS Academics uses Slack as our preferred method of messaging. You will only be sent the invitation link AFTER you've completed the Tutor Onboarding Course, so if you're a new hire and have not completed it, please go back to complete the course and only sign up for Slack when you're prompted to!
IMPORTANT STUFF
-
Remember Slack etiquette is to "close the loop"
Whenever you see a message in DM or in a group channel, acknowledge that you have seen it by reacting with a 👍 or literally any emoji. This will mitigate double messages, unnecessary follow ups or miscommunications! It's really important that you do this so KIS Admin knows who's up to date on important info!

Reply within 24 Hours
KIS Academics tries to offer the best possible service to students - this means replying to tutoring requests within our advertised 24 hour timeframe. If you get a tutoring request, make sure you get back to the student as soon as possible!
