The T. H. Rogers Chess Program is made up of the
following components:
Small Group Instruction
7 separate classes offered after school: 4
Wednesday and 3 Friday.
Strongly recommended for all team members.
Open to non-team members on a space available
basis.
Tuesday Chess Club
Open to all interested students, K-8.
We will run 2 in-house tournaments per
semester, open to all interested students. Each tournament is played over
5 weeks. Sign
up for each one individually.
Recreational players can just play casual games or
they can work with the coaches, go over the optional homework, and
test for a higher rank.
Weekly instruction to grades K-3
during the school day
For the past several years, we have taught chess to
the students in grades K-3 every Friday morning during school.
With the addition of the 3 new rooms, we are still trying to work out
a schedule.
Kindergarten receives a half an hour lesson every
Friday.
Grades 1-3 receive 1 hour lessons every Friday
morning.
Each room receives 3 chess sets for use throughout
the year. They are available to the students during activity
periods and indoor recess.
There is no charge to the school or students.
The chess program covers the costs.
Middle School Enrichment
Chess is an option during 8th period enrichment for
middle school students.
