The health and safety of our students and staff are our top priority and primary consideration during these unprecedented times. After careful consideration among our school administration team and board of directors, as well as confirming with the Calgary Board of Education (CBE) Facility Rentals Department, all of our Chinese and Option courses will remain on-line for the rest of the 2021-2022 school year, until June 2022.

We will continue to keep you and our school community informed. The decision for whether we will return to in-person classes for the 2022-2023 school year will be dependent on the advice we receive from Alberta Health Services, Alberta Education and the CBE Facility Rentals Department.

Thank you for a smooth start to the new school year! Over the past month, we have thoroughly enjoyed having your child back learning with us at The Chinese Academy (TCA). 

English Parent Orientation on Wednesday, October 27th. A lot of tips to assist your students with their Chinese courses will be shared!

TCA classes will be online until at the earliest, January 2022.

1. Our number one priority is to ensure our students, families and staff are safe and healthy. After careful consideration, we have decided not to go back to in-person learning until at the earliest, January 2022. We will then review.
2. There is no school on Saturday, October 9th. We hope you enjoy the Thanksgiving long weekend!
3. We had a very successful student orientation for our Grade 7 to 12 students on Saturday, October 2nd. We appreciated all of the students’ questions.
4. The English Parent Orientation will be on Wednesday, October 27th from 6:00pm to 7:00pm. We hope all of you are able to attend. There will be a lot of tips on how to support your child in learning Chinese. A reminder and Zoom link will be sent out closer to the date.
5. Please continue to review the Student Code of Conduct with your child prior to class. Some important reminders include keeping their cameras on for the entire class time (except during break), and ensuring there are no virtual Zoom backgrounds displayed. We are already very impressed by all of our students attending respectfully to our TCA Code of Conduct.
6. The Media Consent Form email has already been sent out to families. If you do not consent, you must state it in the digital form. If we do not receive your forms back by Friday, October 15th, this indicates that you provide us with media consent.
7. If you referred a student to attend The Chinese Academy as per past practice, you can collect your $10 referral gift card at the office. Your very appreciated $10 gift card will be available at our office once all of the present pandemic restrictions are removed.
8. We will be postponing Picture Day. We can’t wait until all of us are in person and can take these beautiful pictures for your children!
9. We are now offering Adult Mandarin classes. Please register on our website as soon as possible. When we have enough parents who are interested in this class, we will inform you of the start date.
10. We also offer Mathematics and English tutorial classes to students. They are held between 12:00pm to 1:00pm on Saturdays. Please register on our website if your child is requiring extra support in Mathematics and/or English.

What a great start to the school year so far!

The Chinese Academy (TCA) has been offering Chinese classes to students for over 24 years. We have received many inquiries from parents asking for recommendations to support their children’s learning. We are excited to offer Adult Mandarin classes this year. We have attached a poster with information about the Adult Mandarin class.

A number of our families decided to take the 2020-2021 school year off from learning Chinese due to the Covid 19 pandemic. The Chinese Academy would like to offer our Kindergarten to Grade 9 students a one-time opportunity to make up the curriculum they missed over the past school year.

For example, if your child was registered in Grade 1 at The Chinese Academy during the 2019-2020 school year and then missed Grade 2 Chinese Saturday classes due to the pandemic, they will be permitted to register for Grade 3 this year, as a special exception. However, your child will be required to purchase the textbook and learning materials of the grade they missed and complete this work independently by the end of December, 2021.

This Fall Learning Package (FLP) is $50 and must be purchased when you register your child. You can find this on-line as a separate product. (Click Here). The FLP can be picked up at the Madison Office (Madison #191, 1518 Centre Street N.E. Calgary T2E 2R9).

A warm and heartfelt greeting to all of our TCA families!  Your wellness is so important to us. Our teachers and administration team want to thank you for your hard work and support during this most unique year of virtual online learning, assisting our students with their lessons and assignments. It was not always easy and we respect your commitment to your children learning the Chinese language and culture.

Please take the time to carefully read this newsletter.  You will see information listed below regarding:

Dear Parents/Guardians,

We are looking forward to your children rejoining us in September 2021. We can’t wait to see all of you again!  Many parents have been asking us if their children, even though they missed their Chinese learning last year, can return to the same class level as their English school and be with their friends/classmates.  Respecting what we have all endured, The Chinese Academy (TCA) is offering the following:

Due to these unprecedented, challenging times, TCA is offering a special opportunity for your children to rejoin us in September, 2021 at the same level as their classmates.

• This package will include their textbook and workbook. Over the summer, you will assist your children with catching up.
• In later August, there will be a test which we are confident they will pass as long as they have covered all of the materials with your assistance.
• Upon the completion of the test, the students will be assigned to the appropriate class levels.

2)             How You Will Register:

Please visit this link.

The available payment options are:

To enter the meeting, please use your regular Zoom classroom link. It would be appreciated if you enter the waiting room 2 minutes in advance of your scheduled time slot.

Please note the following:

1. To protect parent’s and student’s individual privacy, the waiting room for each class will be turned on and only one family at a time will be permitted into the meeting room. In addition, respecting students’ confidentiality, no interviews will be recorded.
2. If you enter the meeting room early, please wait patiently for your turn. The teacher and teaching assistant will invite each parent to enter the interview session according to the time slot reserved for each parent(s).
3. To ensure your Parent Teacher Interview session is held on time and efficiently, please prepare your questions and items prior to be discussed with the teacher.
4. We want you to be aware that our technology staff will be coming into interviews periodically to check the meeting software is working properly.
5. If you need additional time, please make another appointment with the teacher through email or directly during the interview.
6. The interviewer will remind the parent when there are 2 minutes left in the interview.
7. When the interview is over, the teacher or teaching assistant will remove the current parent from the Zoom meeting session.

If you are unsure about your booked time slot, or you would like to change your interview, please contact The Chinese Academy office via email before Thursday, January 14th.

Thank you for your cooperation.
