Question and answer time

Refreshments!

If your school intends to participate in DACIS this year, a representative from your school should attend the School Orientation. Your presence will indicate your interest in the program. Instructors are assigned, and chess equipment issued, based upon the level of a school’s interest. If you currently represent a DACIS school which has an instructor who will continue teaching during the coming year, we would still appreciate your attendance, both to receive pertinent updates on the program and to share your feedback with us.
