With the introduction of a central, individually designed registration portal, the city of Salzgitter is simplifying the process and ensuring greater flexibility in scheduling.
Login credentials for the registration portal will be mailed to the legal guardians
Previously, families received the examination dates by post and had to coordinate changes by telephone with the Child and Adolescent Health Department of the health authority.
With the new system, the process is now much more modern: in the invitation letter sent out by the specialist service for the school enrolment examination, families are contacted according to their children's date of birth. This letter contains a personal booking code that custodians can use in the online portal to select their preferred date within a specified period. Changes or cancelations can also be made independently. It is also possible to upload personal documents.
The aim is to make it easier for families to organize their school enrolment. The digital appointment system allows families to plan their daily routine better.
The school entry examination is required by law and checks the child's vision, hearing, speech development, motor skills and general health as part of a medical examination. The results provide important information as to whether a child needs support when starting school.
No internet access? Appointments can still be made by telephone
For families without internet access, appointments can still be made by telephone.
Children with increased support needs—the Public Health Department contacts their legal guardians directly
For children with special needs who are already in contact with the public health department, the department will, as usual, contact the families in person to schedule an appointment for the pre-school health examination.
