Welcome to Back!

Dear Students and Parents of Grade 8B,

I hope everyone had an interesting and relaxing summer! I am looking forward to getting to know you this year at Khalsa School Calgary, as the 8B class’ Homeroom, Language Arts 8, Language Arts 9 and Social Studies 8 teacher.

I thought I would start by sharing a few things about me. I have a Bachelors of Education from the University of Alberta and completed my Masters in International Education in Madrid, Spain. This will be my tenth year of teaching and I have taught in Alberta, Qatar, as well as Singapore. This will be my fourth year at Khalsa school and I love working with such friendly students and staff.

Now a bit about my classroom. My classroom is always a democratic classroom. This means that students will be given choices, participate in making decisions, and have their voices heard. So this can happen, respect is key, and there are three simple rules to follow:

  1. Respect yourself: Students are expected to strive for academic excellence, take risks, and most importantly, make mistakes and learn from them.

  2. Respect others: Students are expected to work together with other students, listen to each other, and be aware of other’s feelings.

  3. Respect the environment: Students are expected to keep the classroom clean, take care of their belongings, and school resources.

I also want to be easily accessible to you if you have any questions or concerns. There are many ways to communicate with me:

  • Students: During school you can talk to me in class, during breaks or after school. If you are at home, you can email me at neshali.weera@khalsaschoolcalgary.ca. I may not be able to get back to you right away, but will respond the following day at school.

  • Parents: Please do not hesitate to contact me. You can email me at the above email address. You can also reach me by calling the school at number is 403-293-7712 ext. 234. The best time to reach me by phone will be from 3:00 - 4:00pm. We can also set up time to meet in person. If this is something you would like to do, please email or call me to arrange a specific day and time.

I am looking forward to a great year of learning and getting to know everyone!

Sincerely,

Ms. Neshali Weera
