There are two chess clubs at Horizon. The competition team and recreational club. The competition team meets weekly from 2:45 pm - 3:45pm. The recreational team meets twice a month from 2:45 pm - 3:30 pm. 

To participate in the competition team students must be in grades 1-5. To participate in recreational club students must be in grades 2-5. 

There is a fee for competition team which must be paid by the first meeting to participate. You will then receive tournament information by email. The student needs to participate in at least 4 tournaments for the year. It is the parent's responsibility to register and transport their child to the events. Parents are required to stay at tournaments as this is NOT an official school function.

There are no fees for recreational club or required tournament participation. This club will only meet at school and not participate in tournaments.

Students must be picked up promptly in front of the school at club dismissal, or they will be sent to Extended Day after school care and incur a fee.

Students must exhibit excellent behavior in order to participate in either club. If behavior becomes an issue, the student will be given a warning and the parents notified. If the student continues to cause disruptions or misbehaves, they will be removed from the club from that point forward.

Registration for both clubs will begin August 27th during the PTA Meeting.

The recreational club has a maximum of 20 students.

Sponsors: Mrs. Schmidt and Mrs. Speers
