Administrators have the ability to allow parent-level contacts to submit a health screen questionnaire from home. This allows administrators to review and accept this information prior to the student check-in or arrival to the program.
If you want to direct student contacts to this feature, or view what their experience is like, please see our Log Health Screens at Home resource.

Enable Health Screens at Home
The health screens at home option can be enabled from the school settings on the web or on the app. The questions included in the health screen at home are the same as the health screen questionnaire.
From the web:
Log into brightwheel on the web
Navigate to My School > Settings
Tab over to School Info
Under the Health Screens section, toggle on Students - at home
From the app:
Log into brightwheel on the app
From the administrator home screen tap School Profile > Check-in Settings
Toggle on Student Health Screen - Home
Please Note: if administrators enable health screens at home, contacts will not be able to complete the health screen at check-in and vice versa

Edit and Delete Health Screens
A parent level contact may submit a health screen by mistake that needs to be removed and re-completed or they may submit it at a later date or time which needs to be reflected earlier for record keeping purposes. Administrators have the option to edit or delete this home health screen activity from the student’s feed on the web and delete the activity on the app.
From the web:
Log into brightwheel on the web
Click My School > Students
Locate student that the health screen needs to be edited and tap Feed
Navigate to the health screen and press Edit
From here, administrators can edit the date/time and notes or Delete the activity
From the app:
Log into brightwheel on the app
From the administrator home screen tap Rooms and locate the student for which the health screen was recorded
From the student’s feed tap directly on the Health Screen activity
Tap Delete
Failed Health Screen Notification
When a parent level contact fails to check all the questions on the health screen questionnaire, by mistake or intentionally, they will be presented with the following message: 'Please discuss your health screen with your provider to confirm it's okay to check-in.'
If they choose to continue with the check-in, administrators will receive a 'Health Screen Alert' push notification alerting them that the student failed the questionnaire. Tapping on the notification will immediately open that student's feed to display the most recent check-in and which questions were left unchecked.
Reviewing Health Screens
The results of the health screen that parent-level contacts submit from home can be viewed directly on the student's feed from both the web and the app. Administrators can quickly filter individual student feeds for this activity specifically. Here's how to review health screens from home:
From the web:
Log into brightwheel on the web
Click My School > Students
Locate the student profile and tap Feed
From the Activity type drop down menu filter for Home Health Screen and click Apply
Review results directly on the student feed
From the app:
