Kindergartens and after-school programs will open at 13:00 today

Schools and afterschool programs were cancelled due to the storm during the night. It snowed less than expected in the greater municipal area as the temperature stayed above freezing. Since there is less snow than expected, main roads are open as well as many residential streets. Currently there is work ongoing to clear the roads that are impassable, mostly in the upper areas of the city.

The weather has calmed, and therefore school authorities in the greater municipal area have decided to open kindergartens at 13:00. However, those kindergartens that were closed due to a scheduled organisational day will remain closed. Elementary schools will be closed as announced yesterday.

After school programs, sports´ clubs, music schools and social centres will commence at their normal or scheduled times.

We also remind you that today, Monday, a yellow weather warning has been issued. The yellow warning begins at 18:00 and will remain until Tuesday. Therefore, it is important that parents and guardians keep a close eye on the weather tomorrow morning before going to school. More information can be found here: https://en.vedur.is/alerts
