Ingunnarskóil is a nut-free school. Ingunnarskóli has students with severe nut allergies. A person with a severe nut allergy does not even need to eat nuts to suffer an allergic reaction. Simply coming into contact with food that contains nuts — or interacting with someone who recently handled them — can trigger a serious, potentially life-threatening medical emergency.

Because of this risk, Ingunnarskóli has implemented a strict nut-free policy. This means no food brought into the school can contain nuts of any kind, including peanuts and tree nuts like pecans, cashews, and almonds.

Neither children nor staff may bring these items into the school. We urge parents to carefully double-check that their child's packed lunch is completely nut-free. Examples of prohibited items include nut-flavored yogurts, milk beverages with nut muesli, bread with nut butter, bags of nuts, all types of energy bars, most varieties of Corny bars, certain breakfast cereals, and similar products.

Lockers

Students in grades 2-10 are assigned lockers located in the school's entrance hall. The lockers are unlocked, but students can bring locks from home to use at school. 

First-grade students will use the coat racks and cubbies located near their classroom.

Phone use

Ingunnarskóli is a phone-free school, so phones are not allowed in classrooms or hallways.

Absence notifications

Guardians or immediate family should report illnesses or other short-term absences before class starts and then daily to the school office at 411-7828 or ingunnarskoli@reykjavik.is. Absences can also be reported through the parent access in Mentor.
