Join the Division Street School Chess Club

Chess Club is a fun, casual way for kids to start their mornings with a great game! Parents can sign students in at 8:20 a.m. through the side door by the cafeteria. Kids are encouraged to grab a board, sit at a table, and enjoy playing together—whether they’re new to the game and just learning the basics or already sharpening their strategies. To keep things safe (and fun!), the stage area is off-limits, and running around isn’t part of the game plan. Parents are always welcome to stick around, sit with their child, and see the club in action.

Our first meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, September 16th, @ 8:20 am. No advance sign-up is required, and players are welcome to visit anytime over the year as interest and scheduling allow.

What do we do at Chess Club?

● Work with new players to get them to a basic level of knowledge to start playing the game

● Provide opportunities for kids to play matches with each other to test and develop their skills

● Review chess puzzles to work on tactics and strategy

● Have fun playing chess!

Chess club is open to all Division Street students in Grades K-5, and no prior knowledge of the game is necessary.
