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.

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.

Upcoming Dates (Tuesday mornings @ 8:20am): 9/16, 9/30, 10/14, 10/28, 11/18, 12/2

Parents/Guardians: Please walk your child to the side door by the Cafeteria and sign them in.
