Checkmate Chess Club Code of Conduct

Please let your student know how they should behave during after-school chess.

Our goal is to keep all students safe, confident, and respected so they can learn.

Please understand there are no refunds after the first day of class. Thank you.

1. Please notify learn@checkmatechess.club if your student will be absent. Include the student name and the school in your email.
2. Students will behave appropriately for a classroom environment.
1. Students will show up to class on time.
2. Students will sit calmly during the lesson and chess matches.
3. Students will not interrupt the lesson and will maintain an appropriate classroom volume. If they have a question, they will raise their hand.
4. Students will not run in the classroom, wrestle, or throw things.
