The same provider, Sk\u00f3lamatur ehf, will continue to provide the service in seven of the town's primary schools, while one school, \u00c1slandssk\u00f3li, will manage its own catering.<\/p>\n<h4>Free porridge on offer at the start of the school day.<\/h4>\n<p>At the start of the school day, free porridge with milk and cinnamon is available to pupils in all schools before lessons begin (served approximately 10-15 minutes beforehand). You just need to turn up and register your attendance on the day, so we can keep track of how many people are using the service.<\/p>\n<h4>Subscribe to fruit\/vegetables\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p>Pupils are offered the option of a fruit\/vegetable subscription, delivered mid-morning each school day, instead of bringing a packed lunch from home \u2013 but of course, they are still welcome to bring their own packed lunch. The fruit is sold via a monthly subscription with Sk\u00f3lamat, and the same ordering and cancellation rules apply as for the school meals subscription. Fruit\/vegetables cannot be purchased for individual days and are therefore only available for all days of the month at a time, regardless of individual circumstances. Consequently, no refunds are given for absences due to illness, holidays, etc., as this is a flat-rate fee. The daily fee for fruit\/vegetables is 102 kr. per pupil per day, so the monthly subscription only varies according to the number of school days in the month. This is based on a set amount per pupil per day; younger pupils (Years 1-7) receive it in their classrooms, while older pupils (Years 8-10) collect it from the canteen during break time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Subscription order is on <a href=\"https:\/\/askrift.skolamatur.is\/\">Website of Sk\u00f3lamatar ehf<\/a>, for parents at schools other than \u00c1slandssk\u00f3li.<br \/><em>Please note that you must select a school to see the options for each individual school.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>A daily choice of two dishes for lunch.<\/h4>\n<p>Lunch will be available as before with a similar arrangement, i.e. sold via a meal subscription where you can choose from a set of days during the week. There will continue to be two courses daily: a main course designed for the majority, and an alternative option which often offers a vegetarian option alongside a meat-based one. The price of meals on a monthly subscription is kr. 463 per day, after the council's subsidy has been applied. It will also continue to be possible to purchase a 10-meal card, which will then have a higher price per meal than the subscription.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Subscription order is on <a href=\"https:\/\/askrift.skolamatur.is\/\">Website of Sk\u00f3lamatar ehf<\/a>, for parents at schools other than \u00c1slandssk\u00f3li. <em>Please note that you must select a school to see the options for each individual school.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>An idea in the making \u2013 an afternoon snack<\/h4>\n<p>It is also being planned to introduce the option for pupils other than those in the after-school club to purchase the same afternoon snack as is provided in the clubs. This arrangement will be introduced at a later date.<\/p>\n<h4>Greater access to healthy and good nutrition throughout the school day.\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p>The aim of these changes is to respond to new societal circumstances so that a primary school pupil can get a meal at school throughout the school day and does not need to bring a packed lunch from home if they do not wish to \u2013 but, as before, everyone is welcome to bring a packed lunch from home. This is being done to ease the pressure on families, as well as to give all pupils the opportunity to have healthy food and good nutrition throughout the school day, without needing to get anything else, for example, from a shop. As these are significant changes, it is likely to take some time to get everything properly in place to benefit every student. The staff would like to thank you in advance for your patience. We therefore ask for your patience and cooperation should it take some time to implement these changes effectively.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skolamatur.is\/\">The image in the foreground is the property of Sk\u00f3lamatar ehf.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hausti\u00f0 2019 tekur vi\u00f0 n\u00fdtt fyrirkomulag \u00e1 matar\u00fej\u00f3nustu vi\u00f0 nemendur \u00ed grunnsk\u00f3lum Hafnarfjar\u00f0ar.
