Parent Communication Service 'tetoru' to Launch New Feature 'Absence Notification Customization' Allowing Schools to Set Absence Notification Items Individually from FY2026

Classi Corporation (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Takeoka Akira), which operates the SchoolTech business, is pleased to announce that its parent communication service 'tetoru' (Teteru), which supports communication between schools and parents, will begin offering a new feature called 'Absence Notification Customization' from April 2026. This feature will allow schools to freely set the types and reasons for absence notifications individually.

This new function will enable the acceptance of absence notifications tailored to the specific circumstances of each school, in addition to the traditional 'absence notification' for commuting to and from school. It will also support the addition, editing, and deletion of absence reasons, allowing for smoother collection of information required by schools. This will contribute to both increased efficiency in teachers' confirmation tasks and reduced communication burden for parents.

【Background】

Amidst the growing demand for reducing teachers' workload and promoting school DX (Digital Transformation), initiatives to digitally receive absence notifications from parents are spreading in schools. tetoru has been offering its absence notification function free of charge since 2022, supporting the digitalization of communication between schools and parents.

During this period, schools have expressed a need to receive notifications from parents not only for daily school attendance but also for various aspects of school life, such as club activities, pool observation, and school bus usage. To achieve more flexible operations tailored to the actual conditions of each school, considering the varying management methods for absence reasons and required notification items, tetoru has further expanded its existing absence notification function and developed the new feature 'Absence Notification Customization,' which allows schools to set notification items and absence reasons individually.

【What is the New Feature 'Absence Notification Customization'?】
'Absence Notification Customization' is a feature that allows for flexible setting of absence notification types and reasons for each school. In addition to the basic 'Absence Notification' function, it enables the setting of more detailed categories for participation/absence regarding activities and situations, as well as reasons.

Main Features
① Addition of Absence Notification Types (Customization of Activity Details)
In line with school operations, it will be possible to centrally manage absence and participation notifications on tetoru not only for daily school attendance but also for club activities and school events.

Examples:
・Daily school attendance
・Club activities
・Pool observation
・Riding the school bus home

② Customization of Absence Reasons
Furthermore, schools can freely set absence reasons. Flexible settings are possible according to each school's operations, such as setting items similar to those used in school administrative support systems.

・Addition of absence reasons
・Editing of absence reasons
・Deletion of unnecessary reasons

【Benefits for Teachers】
・Absence notifications for club activities and school events can be centrally managed on tetoru.
・Since absence reasons can be set according to school operations, it becomes easier to organize and understand absence status.

【Benefits for Parents】
・Absence notifications for club activities and school life, not just for school attendance, can be easily sent from the app.
・Since notifications are completed simply by entering information according to the items set by each school, parents can send absence notifications smoothly without confusion.
