As a provider, if the contact has not yet signed up for brightwheel, you can make edits to their email or phone number.

However, providers are unable to edit a student contact's email or phone number once their account has been created. Once a parent, family, or approved pick-up signs up for brightwheel, the email/phone number listed becomes their brightwheel username and only the student contact can change their username.

Please direct student contacts to update the email, or phone number themselves following our steps here: Update your username as a guardian or student contact.

If the contact runs into any issues updating, they can contact Support.
