The Health Screens help programs comply with COVID-19 regulations and ensure a healthy space. Health Screens at check-in can be used with staff and students in conjunction with brightwheel's Quick Scan feature to minimize the touching of communal surfaces. Alternatively, the program can require families to complete Health Screens at home before arrival.
This screening asks the person to confirm all statements by checkboxes. For example, the default questions are:
No fever
No cough or shortness of breath
No contact with COVID-19 in the last 14 days
Enable Health Screen at Check-in
Administrators can enable the Health Screen feature from the Check-in Settings on the brightwheel mobile app or on the web. Once enabled, families and staff will be required to fill out a health questionnaire at check-in.

Delete & Review Staff Health Screens
If the staff member made a mistake, or missed filling out a Health Screen, administrators will need to delete this attendance record and have the staff log a new check-in/out for the current date from their mobile app. Next the administrator will need to edit the date and time of the new record to reflect the deleted historical record.
ℹ️ Please visit our Staff Time Tracking resource for steps on deleting, or reviewing a staff Health Screen logged with an attendance record.
Failed Health Screen Notification
When the student contact, or staff member fails to check all the questions on the health screen questionnaire, they will receive the message, 'Please discuss your health screen with your provider to confirm it's okay to check-in.'
If the contact chooses to continue with the check-in, administrators will receive a 'Health Screen Alert' push notification alerting them that they failed the questionnaire. Tapping on the notification will immediately open that student's feed to display the most recent check-in and which questions were left unchecked.
ℹ️ Failed staff Health Screenings won’t trigger a push notification for administrators.
Please visit our Manage Push Notifications for Staff resource for how to turn on failed health screen alerts.
Review Check-in Health Screens
The results of the health screen at check-in can be viewed directly on the student's feed from both the web and the app.
Administrators can report on the result of the student's Health Screen Questionnaire via the Check-in Report. By checking the Show Health Screen Results box, a new column will be added to show whether a student passed the questionnaire or failed. You can see which question was vailed by clicking View. This is also exportable.
