FAQ
Where can I see forms that my provider has sent?
Forms will be visible through the student profiles listed in each parent's brightwheel account on the web, but not on the brightwheel app. To view and complete forms, make sure to log in to brightwheel on the web!
Can I change my contact info, or contact info listed for another student contact on the form?
The best way to update account info will be to log into brightwheel, select Profile, and then use the email and mobile number fields to enter in the updated account information. Contact information for contacts with activated brightwheel accounts cannot be edit through the Applications tools.
Running into trouble with updating contact info? Our Support team would love to help! Parents and other contacts can get in touch with brightwheel Support via email at help@mybrightwheel.com at any time.
Can I make changes to a form that was submitted earlier?
Once a form is submitted, the completed fields will be saved with the submitted information and can’t be edited. If parents find that changes or updates are required, please get in touch with a program or school administrator to discuss the best way to provide the updated information.
I’m having trouble uploading my documents through the Document Request tool.
Each Document Request application will allow parents to upload one PDF document. If the completed documents are saved as separate files, make sure to combine them into one PDF before uploading. If the completed documents are not PDFs, parents will need to convert them to PDFs before uploading.
I have questions about the content or fields requested on my program’s form.
For more information and context regarding the fields requested on an Application, please get in touch with the provider directly. This content is managed directly by the program administrators, so they’re best equipped to provide clarity on the requested fields!
