School orientation and meal registration
School orientation will be Thursday, August 22 at 2pm in the gym, after which students will go to their classrooms with teachers.
Collective bargaining agreements last spring made lunch in primary schools free for all students for the next three school years. All children need to be registered for meals if parents want them to eat.
Those who were registered for meals last year and want their children to continue - no need to register again, registration carries over - only unregister if they should not receive meals.

This is done to maintain oversight, reduce food waste, manage allergy and intolerance information, and improve planning.
School calendar
The Dalskóli school calendar lists the planning days as well as other important information for parents and guardians.
Primary school meals
School meals are free for the 2024-2025 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.
Students registered last year will be automatically enrolled. Others need to register. Change the registration at matur.vala.is.

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 prosperity contact in the child's immediate environment, such as in preschool or primary school. The prosperity contact offers information and guidance on services and ensures that children and guardians have unhindered access to these services. Children, youth, and guardians can reach the school prosperity contact to request integrated services.
The contact persons for Dalskóli are: Guðný Guðlaugsdóttir and Lárey Valbjörnsdóttir

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 and increase parent involvement in school activities. All schools in Reykjavík City have an active parent association.

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.
Electronic 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.
