For contactless check-in, use brightwheel and allow families to initiate a check-in by either entering the 4-digit code or scanning the QR code and entering the 4-digit code. You can also enable digital signatures (required by some states), health screens, and/or QR codes to make check-in faster, more secure, and easier to stay compliant with licensing.
