Adding students is the first step in inviting contacts, logging activities, recording attendance, and more!
Providers can easily create new student profiles on the mobile app and web.
💡 Tip: Let us set up your student profiles for you! If you have 10 or more new students to add, the fastest and easiest way is with brightwheel's Upload Tool.

What is in a student profile?
After adding a student, authorized staff can complete their profile with photos, contact details, allergy information, health records, and more! The tabs at the top of the profile give both staff and parents quick access to the student’s daily feed, learning, attachments, and paperwork.
While Administrators and Lead Staff can edit profile details, parents can only view specific sections the like personal info and contacts. Sections hidden from families will say Not visible to Parents and cannot be made accessible.
