Make West Des Moines Community Schools unblock Chess.com through Securly
The Issue
I have enjoyed played chess in GT, but it was blocked in recently and the entire district can't enjoy this classic and educational game.
From Punyesh P. - "Hi WDMCS, I hope you're doing well! I’m reaching out to request that access to Chess.com be unblocked kindly. Chess.com is not just a gaming site—it’s a valuable educational platform that helps develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and strategic planning skills. Many students and professionals use it to sharpen their minds, improve concentration, and even apply these skills to real-life scenarios. Allowing access to Chess.com can provide a productive and engaging way for individuals to enhance cognitive abilities during breaks or free time. I believe that enabling this resource could positively impact focus, creativity, and decision-making skills. Thank you for considering this request—I’d be happy to discuss this further if needed! Best regards, Punyesh
