Brightwheel Student Contacts

Parents/Guardians
Parents can send and receive messages, check their children in and out, view their child's profile and daily feed, add family and pickups, and access billing. They have the most access to the student's account.

​

​Family
These contacts can see the student's daily activity feed but cannot edit personal information like homeroom, allergies, birthday, or medications. Family contacts can drop off/pick up a student and send messages to the school for quick updates.

Approved Pickups
These student contacts will not see any child information on the brightwheel app and can only perform pickup/drop-off actions.

Emergency Contact
Providers and parents can add emergency contacts to a student's profile for emergencies. These contacts do not set up a brightwheel account, have no app access, and cannot check a child in/out; they serve solely as additional emergency contacts.
