Simply more than just a school app
Simply more than just a school app
Teachers at educational institutions often have to take on a lot of administrative and bureaucratic tasks themselves in addition to their core task of teaching pupils. Due to a lack of good tools and IT specialists at schools, teaching staff often have to make do.
And when it comes to communication, many individuals and groups are involved in schools. Teachers, pupils, classes, parents, school management and administration all expect a smooth flow of information. There is a need for well-organised digital communication that is clear, channelled and ideally centralised via a single medium.

School structure in main and subgroups
The clearly organised group structure ensures clear communication channels. Each user only sees the groups in mantau in which they participate.
This means that any number of groups can be created on a single platform for all those involved in school operations who want to communicate and work together, e.g. teacher-parent groups, parent-only groups, school classes with class teachers, teacher committees, initiative groups - and many more.
The communication channel to pupils and parents as well as within the teaching staff can be customised as you wish.
It is up to you to decide to what extent you, as a teaching staff, open up the possibility of contact from parents or pupils - or whether you want to completely protect teaching staff from direct contact via mantau and only use the app within the school.
Controlling digital parental communication according to your own rules
With mantau, you can design parent communication, depending on the purpose, in dialogue or as a parent information channel similar to a newsletter - for everyone or by school class. mantau is also a secure and data protection-compliant solution for confidential parent communication in direct dialogue with individual parents.
Organise the communication channels to parents as you wish!
Benefits
- Read/write permissions avoid a flood of messages
- Groups and subgroups provide an overview
- Personal "muting" of individual groups (no notify) possible
- Simple and automated documentation, e.g. "read receipt"
Group or team calendar and personal diary for the school community
As a mantau user, you have events in individual groups in which you participate, e.g. events, consultation days, committees or conferences. Your personal diary gives you an overview of all your events across all groups. Whether internal school events or public appointments, you can see all events in a single view.
You can synchronise the mantau appointment planner with your device's own calendar at any time.
Internal communication in the teaching staff
Organise your internal communication between teachers using the app. Groups can come together at will and organise themselves by assigning rights, e.g. according to subject areas, class levels, management areas.
Teacher groups can organise themselves as required for collaboration, e.g. teacher committees and initiative groups that want to promote individual topics and ideas.
Benefits
- Create groups flexibly, including temporary project groups
- Structured, clearly organised over time
- Reliable & fast, thanks to push notifications
Example: Preparing conferences
With mantau, teacher conferences can be prepared and the necessary documents provided digitally and securely - and conference participants can also vote digitally, if legally permitted in the respective case. Regardless of whether a conference takes place as a face-to-face meeting, hybrid or purely digital - with the video conferencing function in mantau, you are prepared.
Homeschooling - an issue even without a pandemic
Pupils who, for example, want to study from home and take part in lessons during an extended period of illness can be flexibly integrated and provided with teaching materials. Additional support can be provided via chat and video conferencing.
Platform also for parents and parent representatives on request
Parents can also use mantau for their communication and projects with each other, e.g. under the direction of the class parent representative. A real alternative to the usual, often unpopular WhatsApp groups.
Benefits
- Additional subgroups for specific purposes and participants, e.g. for homework questions, event organisation, parent speaker communication, ensure an overview of chat processes and more relaxed interaction.
- Read/write permissions prevent a flood of messages.
Files or documents in online storage, organised by group
Instead of using notices or distribution, you can simply make files, documents and photos available to everyone involved via the app, e.g. timetables, learning material, letters to parents, project information, instructions, rules, templates - and much more. Each group is assigned its own cloud storage.
Benefits
- Upload simply by "drag & drop"
- Quickly accessible for everyone
- Organised & clearly arranged by group
- "Read receipt" also for files, e.g. letters to parents
- No need to compress files or photos
Lists, plans, forms for interactive use
The universal form tool in mantau enables the integration of a wide variety of forms for interactive use by teachers and parents, e.g. substitution plans, sick notes, lice reports, specific requests for information from parents, such as registrations for school trips, collective orders, permissions, emergency contacts or general surveys. Forms are integrated group-specifically, depending on the desired target group, e.g. for parents of a specific class - or for all parents of a school.
Benefits
- Customise templates specifically
- Easy to fill out by users
- Results of the "feedback" prepared for further processing and exportable
Example form: Registration for a school trip with important declarations of consent
With just a few clicks, you can use the form builder to create a form for parents to register their child for a school trip, for example. Ask for important information and consent! You will receive this information in a structured form, automatically prepared and ready for export. The information remains accessible at all times for the school trip - and is then securely documented.

Also ideal for testing!
Because all functions are available in the free mantau 10. And if you later purchase a license for your organization or company, you can "integrate" your existing groups.
