Child prosperity
The Act on the Integration of Services in the Interest of Children’s Prosperity has come into effect. The goal is to ensure children and guardians receive the right assistance, at the right time, from the right parties. Families and children in need of early support have guaranteed access to a contact person in the child's immediate environment, such as in preschool or primary school. The contact person offers information and guidance on services and ensures that children and guardians have unhindered access to these services. Children, youth, and guardians can contact the school contact person to request integrated services.
The contact person for Dalskóli is: Guðný Guðlaugsdóttir

Is your child starting primary school?
On this page, you will find useful information about starting primary school. As, for example, what the children have to take with them to school and whether the children will get food during school hours.
Digital surveillance
Surveillance cameras are installed both outdoors and in the corridors of Dalskóli. The Cultural Center, swimming pool, and Fram gymnasium are connected to Dalskóli. Because of this, there is indoor access between the facilities and a potential risk of unwanted guests and incidents that might need investigating. Such surveillance is always in place for reasons of safety and property protection. The Data Protection Authority provided new Rules on Digital Surveillance (No. 50/2023). The main changes introduced by these regulations were that the retention time for footage was reduced from 90 days to 30 days.
