Calendar & Events (2023)

There is no need to have a separate calendar to keep track of all the important events at your program because brightwheel has one built-in! Teachers and administrators can view and add to the calendar right from the app, and parents will see the calendar in the app as well. Calendars are organized by and specific to rooms.
