Hello HLCS Parent(s),

Mr. Anderson and Mr. Payan are continuing the online Chess Club following the success of the previous years. We will be using “ChessKid” (www.chesskid.com) as our online platform. This year, we will be hosting in-person chess tournaments throughout the year with schools across SD #43. We are aiming to start our online weekly games September 19th (Tuesday) in preparation for our first in-person tournament on October 18th.  

The weekly seasonal games are for Hope LCS students in Grades 2-5 and will occur on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 3:45pm – 4:45pm. Unfortunately, supervision during after school care will not be regularly available. As a result, students will need to play at home. However, students that sign up will have access to lessons, puzzles, or practice anytime with their account.

If your child(ren) wants to get involved with the chess club to improve their skill, learn tournament etiquette, participate in the SD #43 tournaments, or can commit to playing the online weekly games during the aforementioned time, please sign below to approve their interest. Those that are interested will receive another letter with more information shortly.
