School activities

Primary school meals

School meals are free, but it's important for the school to maintain oversight, keep track of allergy and intolerance information, and limit food waste. Students must register for the school lunch program as before.

Students registered last year will be automatically enrolled. Others need to register. Change the registration at matur.vala.is.

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.

 

Every Reykjavík City school has an active parent association.

Háteigsskóli school catchment

Reykjavík has many school catchments, and the child's registered address determines their catchment school.

 

Your child gets priority in their catchment school. Nevertheless, all parents have the choice to apply to any school in the city for their children according to the rules on school catchments, applications, and admission. 

 

Here is information on which streets belong to Háteigsskóli's school catchment.
