While many schools will invite staff members as they are added to a school's brightwheel account, some prefer to hold off until they are ready to launch the platform at their school! If you didn’t send an invitation during the account creation process, you can send it at any time after as long as the staff member has an email address listed for their account.
We'll walk you through how to invite teachers and staff through the web and mobile apps. You can also track who has completed their account activation right from the web app!
If your staff member(s) are using brightwheel as a staff member and a parent, review our resource here for more information on how their accounts should be set up.

Tracking Sign-ups and Resending Invitations
You can track staff signups at any time right from the Staff List. In addition to tracking sign-ups, if you’ve sent an invitation and the staff member hasn’t received it, you can easily resend it! Review more details on Tracking Staff Sign-Ups if needed.
Please Note: If you’ve resent an invitation, however, the staff member is still not receiving it; we suggest advising them to manually sign up and activate their account by using the same email address you use to create their account.
