School activities
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.
Parents/guardians register for the school lunch program in the Skólamatur system and select which weekdays their children will eat. Students must choose the same weekdays each week, such as all Tuesdays and/or all Thursdays. Find more information on the Skólamatur website.
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.
All schools in Reykjavík City have an active parent association.
School rules
Each primary school must set school rules that must be followed. Hólabrekkuskóli school rules are divided into nine categories. They apply everywhere students are on behalf of the school.
Assessment of school operations
The goal of assessing and monitoring quality is to provide insight into schooling, its outcomes, and its development.
Hólabrekkuskóli school district
Reykjavík has many school districts, and the child's registered address determines their district school.
Your child gets priority in their district school. Nevertheless, all parents have the choice to apply to any school in the city for their children according to the rules on school districts, applications, and admission.
