Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Brightwheel is a fabulous app that connects us to parents. We use it for signing in and out, with each parent/pick-up person being given their own code. We use it to record our daily activities, such as diapering, eating, etc. We can send photos to parents and messages that appear on their phones as a text would. Our parents love brightwheel.
