Start of the school year 2019

The formal school year for pupils in Hafnarfjörður's primary schools begins on Thursday, 22nd August. Just over 4,000 children will be starting school this autumn, of whom around 350 are beginning in Year 1. Starting primary school is a big step in every child's life, and at such a milestone, the partnership between home and school is extremely important.

It is a new initiative in the primary schools of Hafnarfjörður that all pupils receive
porridge, free of charge for parents every morning. In addition, is offered
Fruit subscription for all primary school pupils.

All information about the start of term can be found on the schools' websites, which also provide good information about the schools' work and priorities. It is well worth taking the time to look at this with your child.

The Municipality of Hafnarfjörður provides primary school pupils with educational materials free of charge. Schools have therefore purchased stationery that pupils need for their schoolwork. This means pupils will receive notebooks, pens, folders and other such items they need for their daily schoolwork, in addition to textbooks, which have always been provided free of charge.
