Depends on where you are. If people haven't already said something to you about it, chances are that they'll leave you alone about it. I expect people will probably treat you like they've already been treating you. Some may have questions about it, you might get one ignorant person saying something bigoted, but really, if people have been understanding (or at least quietly tolerant) about it, then you can more or less expect the same. What they say in private, I don't know, but people seem to be polite where you are.

You're going to get a lot of ignorant idiots thinking you're an Arab Muslim.

Don't expect people to say anything. If people do say something, take a minute to consider whether they are just being rude.
If half the class has known you for 2 years, they should already be adjusted to the notion of Sikhs in turbans. If not, your parents should go to the guidance office on the first day.
