CONTACTS- Once you add a contact for your child the system will generate a code. You cannot view any code but your own.  

A common question - Does each contact have to have a Brightwheel account? The answer is No.  They will just used the code generated and assigned to them.  We can view all codes, but we cannot edit it.  If someone desires to change their code, they will need to create a Brightwheel account.

  3. Choose Edit Profile under your profile picture

  4. Then scroll to the bottom to see your Check-in Code

Customize Your Check-in Code

  5. Once you enter a unique code, tap the Save button

*Please Note: If your check-in code is not unique, you will be required to enter the last four digits of your phone number to verify your account before completing a check-in.
