Brightwheel's Subsidy attendance Report streamlines tracking and reviewing student attendance for subsidy reporting. This report shows check-in/out times, signatures, and highlights missing signatures.
Providers can also request digital signatures from student contacts for a week's worth of attendance and contacts can provide their signatures to help maintain compliance for state agencies.
The Subsidy attendance Report won't send attendance records to KinderConnect or KinderTrack directly. Please see the linked resources for steps on using the integration to send attendance in select states.

Request Signatures for Weekly Attendance
Providers can request student contacts review their child's weekly attendance and provide their signature verifying the records are correct. Providers can then export, or view these signatures in the Subsidy attendance Report.

Guardian Experience
After sending the request, the student contact will receive a SMS text or email asking them to review and provide a signature to confirm the attendance records are correct for the specified week.
Signature requests can only be completed from the brightwheel mobile app. Contacts should open the request from their mobile device and ensure their brightwheel app is fully updated.
ℹ️ Parents can follow steps outlined in our resource Submit Weekly Attendance Signatures.
