The registration for meals will continue from the last school year so students who were signed up for meals last year do not need to register again.

Við erum öll í þessu saman, enda er oft sagt að það þurfi heilt þorp til að ala upp barn. Í skólum borgarinnar er markvisst unnið að því að auka samráð við foreldra og styrkja aðkomu þeirra að skólastarfi. Foreldrafélag er starfrækt í öllum skólum Reykjavíkurborgar.
