About Contacts and Students in ReachWell

Contacts are the individuals who you will communicate to in your group. For schools, contacts are the parents or guardians of students. ReachWell does not sync with other contact profiles, like Aunts, Uncles, or Emergency Contacts, unless they are also listed as a guardian.

For schools, ReachWell syncs students to make it easier to identify their associated contacts. ReachWell is not designed to communicate directly with students. Instead, student profiles are connected to a contact, to make it easier to start a chat with a contact via the students' name.
