One of the school's roles is advising teaching staff from other primary schools and providing pedagogical support for students with similar educational needs to those in Klettaskóli.

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 persons for Klettaskóli are: Guðrún Hjartardóttir and Lísa Njálsdóttir
