How do I sign up?
Email me at [email protected], providing your child’s full name, and letting me know that you’d like your child to have access. I will send you a username, password, simple log in instructions and responsible use guidelines for you to discuss with your child. Can anyone join? Any Canyon Heights student in any grade is welcome to join. Is this website safe for my child? Yes! The online chess service we are using does not require your child to provide an email address or share personal information. The site also uses a restricted chat feature. This means that while students can play against any member of the site, communication between players who are not both a part of the Canyon Heights Chess Club is limited to preselected responses such as “Nice move!” and “Good game”. Does my child need to know how to play chess? No! The online chess service has great animated chess tutorials suitable for young children and those new to chess. The tutorials do a great join explaining how the pieces move, the rules of the game and basic tactics. When does the club meet? Although your child can play chess at any time on the site, I'm encouraging students to also log on between 2 and 3 pm Monday to Friday. How do I find other Canyon Heights students? Once your child has logged in to the site, they can select 'clubs' and then 'Canyon Heights Chess Club' - from there they will see other Canyon Heights Chess Club members. A green square indicates that a particular players is online. Your child can also make a friend request to find other Canyon Heights players. Friend requests are only seen if BOTH players have requested to be friends with each other. This makes it impossible for someone that your child does not know to be added as a friend. Can my child create their own username or join the Canyon Heights Chess Club with a separate account? No. For security and management reasons, only accounts that I have created and assigned to students will have access to the club. Does the club have a moderator? Yes. Although I am not online 24/7 I will be online frequently and checking in. If you have a question or concern please message or email me directly. Students are expected to follow the Canyon Heights Code of Conduct at all times while using the site. Using this site is a privilege - it is not a right. As site moderator, I have full access to all conversations, posts, player to player messages, etc... If a student is not following the code of conduct while using the site they may have their access to Chess Club revoked. So please keep it fun, be kind and respectful... and go checkmate someone!
