Chess Classes are normally held once a week for one hour at a time.
Classes will consist of 25 minutes of chess instruction and 25 minutes
of simulated tournament games.
Every class begins with daily announcements and the collection of
homework. Class ends with a new sheet or packet of homework and a
new point sheet. Point sheets are used to track and help the students
see their achievements in chess class.
All students must be picked up by a parent or guardian at the end of
class. We will never leave a child unattended or in an office. We will
wait until you arrive to dismiss your child. We do have a special place
on our registration form that will allow you check your personal
dismissal option. For students that walk home a note from a parent will
need to be submitted in order for us to dismiss your child.
