# Online Absence Reporting for Schools and Kindergartens in Neustrelitz > URL: https://4eck-media.de/en/references/online-absence-reporting-for-schools-and-kindergartens-in-neustrelitz/ > Language: en --- ![Benutzeroberfläche der Online-Abwesenheitsmeldung – Formular, Schulinfo und Absenden-Button](https://4eck-media.de/en/https://4eck-media.de/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/abwesenheitsmeldung-formular-absenden-ui-uebersicht.avif "Online-Abwesenheitsmeldung Neustrelitz – Formular und Benutzeroberfläche im Überblick") ## The Brief The town of Neustrelitz decided on a digital solution for absence reporting: on the basis of WordPress, we designed and developed a clear website through which parents can easily report their children absent from five schools and two kindergartens online. The application is available in German, English, and Ukrainian and is optimized for smartphone use. The school office receives an instant email notification with every submission, and parents simultaneously receive a confirmation email. The solution is available at Abmeldung-Neustrelitz.de. ### Multilingual, mobile, and covering seven institutions in one: how the application works Parents first select the relevant institution and then fill out a short form. The central website brings five schools and two kindergartens together on a single platform, which is especially practical when several children are ill at the same time. The application is available in German, English, and Ukrainian, which significantly simplifies use for parents with a migration background and avoids communication issues on the phone. For certain kindergartens and primary schools, canceling lunch is already preset, so this sign-off isn’t forgotten. Since most absence reports are statistically submitted via smartphone, the site was consistently optimized for mobile. ### Time-triggered daily summary feature: a real win for administration A central element of the application is the daily summary feature: each day at a fixed time, every school and kindergarten receives a complete overview of all incoming absence reports as a PDF or CSV file. This replaces the daily listening to voicemails and manually managing individual emails. The experience of Gymnasium Carolinum, which has been using online absence reporting since 2017 and has received more than 32,000 reports, served as an important foundation. The solution can be extended to additional languages and additional institutions as needed, making it interesting for other towns and municipalities as well. ### At a glance - Concept and development of an online absence-reporting application - WordPress development based on an existing concept Multilingual: German, English, and Ukrainian - Five schools and two kindergartens connected - Time-triggered daily summary feature as PDF and CSV - Automatic email notifications for the school office and parents - Preset lunch sign-off for kindergartens and primary schools - Mobile optimization for smartphone use - On-page optimization with schema markup ![Schritt 1 der Online-Krankmeldung Neustrelitz – Auswahl der Schule oder Kita mit Standortkarte](https://4eck-media.de/en/https://4eck-media.de/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/einrichtung-waehlen-schulen-kitas-neustrelitz.avif "Einrichtung wählen – Online-Krankmeldung für Schulen und Kitas in Neustrelitz") ![Dreisprachige Online-Krankmeldung – Formular auf Deutsch, Englisch und Ukrainisch](https://4eck-media.de/en/https://4eck-media.de/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/mehrsprachige-krankmeldung-deutsch-englisch-ukrainisch.avif "Mehrsprachige Krankmeldung Neustrelitz – verfügbar in Deutsch, Englisch und Ukrainisch") ![Online-Krankmeldung auf Tablet und Smartphone – ausgefülltes Formular mit Fehlzeit und Nachricht](https://4eck-media.de/en/https://4eck-media.de/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/online-krankmeldung-formular-tablet-smartphone.avif "Online-Krankmeldung Neustrelitz – responsive Ansicht auf Tablet und Smartphone") ![Website Abwesenheit melden der Residenzstadt Neustrelitz – responsive Ansicht mit Schul-Formular](https://4eck-media.de/en/https://4eck-media.de/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/abwesenheit-melden-website-neustrelitz-responsive.avif "Abwesenheit melden – WordPress-Website der Residenzstadt Neustrelitz für Schulen und Kitas") ![Tägliche Sammelliste aller Krankmeldungen mit Schülerdaten, Klasse, Fehlzeit und Grund](https://4eck-media.de/en/https://4eck-media.de/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/sammelliste-krankmeldungen-uebersicht-sekretariat.avif "Sammellisten-Feature – tägliche Übersicht aller Krankmeldungen für das Sekretariat") ![Royal City of Neustrelitz](https://4eck-media.de/en/https://4eck-media.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/logo-neustrelitz-1140x1140.avif "Residence City of Neustrelitz") Tobias Menke Residenzstadt Neustrelitz We would like to thank 4eck Media GmbH & Co.
