Add a New Contact
Student Contacts that have been added as the Parent contact type with the ability to edit a student's profile can add student contacts from the web or mobile app. Adding a new contact will allow that individual to immediately create a brightwheel account and be associated with that specific student. The provider will not be alerted when a new contact is added, it’s important to also communicate with the provider if there are any changes to the list of people who are approved to pick up a student.
