Chess Club Important Dates

For your future planning, we will have three after school tournaments coming up at Howard. Each tournament will be from 4-5 p.m. The first tournament will be held on Tuesday, February 24th, the second tournament will be held on Tuesday, March 3rd, and the final tournament will be held on Tuesday, March 10th. I will send home another note with more information about the tournaments when it gets closer to the date of the first tournament.

If our team ends up with the best record out of the four elementary chess teams (Howard, Lindbergh, Haigh, and Long) at these tournaments then we will be invited to the district championship in the Administrative Service Center boardroom on Wednesday, March 25th from 3:30-6:30 p.m.

We will continue the season after these tournaments are finished. I will then hold a Howard tournament with the students on our team every Tuesday and Thursday morning until the end of the season. In the past, I have ended the season with a pizza party after school on the first or second Friday in May. I will keep you updated on this date and more information about the pizza party when it gets closer to the end of the season.

Thank you,
