The health department of the city of Salzgitter announces:
With the introduction of a central registration portal, the city of Salzgitter is simplifying the process and ensuring more flexibility in scheduling appointments. Previously, families received the examination appointments by post and had to coordinate changes by telephone with the child and youth health department of the health department.
Access data for the registration portal will be sent to parents by post
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.
With the changeover, the health department joins a growing number of specialist services in the city of Salzgitter that are increasingly digitalizing administrative processes with the aim of making the path to school enrolment as easy as possible for everyone involved.
