Brightwheelâs Parent Directory helps families stay connected by giving parents easy access to other familiesâ contact information, with no paper lists or manual updates needed.
How it works
The directory displays the following information between parents with shared room assignments:
Studentâs photo and name
Parentâs name, address, and phone number
Parents can choose to share both their email and phone number, just one, or completely opt out of sharing their information.
The Parent Directory is off by default and must be enabled by an Administrator. Once enabled, families who have not opted out will have their contact information shared.
đĄ Tip: Consider informing families before enabling the directory so they have the opportunity to opt out. Families who opt out can still view shared details, and any previous opt out preferences will remain in place.
Share Opt-out of sharing contact information with families for opt out steps.
