Use brightwheel's Attendance and Check-in features to make sure that current and historical attendance data is accurate, even if an attendance action is forgotten or missed.

Edit Attendance Records
If an attendance error is caught quickly, staff and administrators can quickly fix the error through their brightwheel account on the app. Keep in mind that Attendance and Check-in are not available on the web, so these steps need to be completed on the app.
Checking Students In & Out
If a parent or other student contact has dropped a student off without checking them in or picked them up without checking them out, staff and administrators can record these actions via Attendance mode on the brightwheel app.
Log into a staff or administrator account on the brightwheel app
Select the Room where the check-in or check-out should have occurred
Tap Attendance
Tap on the student or students' profile(s), and then tap Check in or Check Out at the bottom
Keep in mind that when using Attendance mode to record check-in data, Check-in Kiosk settings like Digital Signature, Health Screen, and Drop-Off Forms won't be available for staff and administrators to complete.
