School activities
Primary school meals
School meals are free for the 2025-2026 school year. However, the school still needs to track information about allergies and intolerances and limit food waste. Students must register for the school lunch program as before.
Parents/guardians must now register for the school lunch program in the Matartíminn system and select which weekdays their children will eat. Students should choose the same weekdays each week, such as every Tuesday and/or every Thursday. More information and instructions are on the Matartíminn/Abler website.
Parent cooperation
We are all in this together, and as the proverb goes it takes a village to raise a child.
Reykjavík City schools make targeted efforts to consult with parents and enhance their involvement in schooling.
All schools in Reykjavík City have an active parent association.
