Assigning students to rooms helps track their activities across brightwheel features like reporting, attendance, etc. Students can be assigned to as many rooms as needed and can only move between rooms they are assigned to.
You can easily edit or switch classroom assignments directly from their profile. Switching student room assignments simply changes the room(s) a student profile appears in and is different from checking a student into a room or using the Move Room feature for attendance.
Types of rooms
Homeroom | Additional Rooms |
Assigning a Homeroom ensures students are checked in/out from that room by default, making check-in easy for parents.
For example, during check-in, a child will default to their Homeroom unless another room is selected. | These are all other rooms a student is assigned to. Students can be moved across any additional assigned rooms rooms, they can be checked in/out and parents will receive messages from these rooms. |
