| WELCOME ~ Welcome to Mrs. Seifert's Class and to our Class Website. As you will see our website is an integral part of the communication between teachers, students and parents. Some pages are updated every six or nine weeks (Class Newsletter, Poems, Spelling Lists), and several are updated between 2:30 and 4:30 DAILY (What's New, Homework), which is especially helpful if you are absent. Many assignments are posted here throughout the year in case handouts are lost. Mrs. Seifert encouages the use of email to clarify details of homework assignments. She also welcomes all ideas to improve our website.
