The top priority for any program is maintaining a safe and healthy space for its students to learn and grow. Brightwheel supports this mission by calling attention to student allergies along with making it easy to track student health and medications.

Health Checks can be used by staff to track the health of each student upon arrival or use throughout the day to proactively monitor student health. The Health Check activity in brightwheel allows staff to log a student’s temperature, post a photo, and add notes.

Follow the steps to Log an Activity with the Health Check type selected. As needed, student Health Checks can be exported from our activity exporter.

In brightwheel, teachers and staff can track and log when student medications are administered. Activity Reminders notify them when it's time to administer medications at specific times.

A student’s personal information, including medications and allergies, are tracked in the student’s profile. This information should be confirmed and updated regularly to ensure accuracy.

When a medication is administered to a student, staff can follow the steps to Log an Activity with the Meds type selected on the app, or web.

These activities are shared on the student’s feed with the parents, just like any other activity, and can be exported in the Activity Report.

Activity Reminders can help keep staff on track by notifying them when an medication is due. This is particularly helpful when a medication needs to be administered at a specific time.

Brightwheel displays red allergy badges next to a student’s profile picture if they have listed allergies on their profile. This helps teachers and staff quickly identify students with allergies from the room list, home screen, and during food activities, ensuring awareness and preventing exposure.
