Adding student contacts is crucial for setting up brightwheel. A student's contact list determines which guardians will have access to their profile, what level of access, and how they can interact with their student and the program.
Administrators, Managers, and Lead Staff can choose from four Contact Types: Parent, Family, Approved Pickup, or Emergency Contact. Each Contact Type has different permissions.
