Overview

Contacts are the family members or guardians of students who are using the family version of the ReachWell app. Please note that contacts in ReachWell are for organizations utilizing our First Class plan and, therefore, have access to private groups.  Contact permissions within the app include: 

1. Receiving messages in the ReachWell app from their associated school(s) and their public and private groups.
2. Sending/receiving direct chats to school-level admins and group-level admins of the groups to which they belong.
   
3. NOT sending/receiving messages to other contacts.
