How this website helps me ...

This website helps me because it is easier to get on snapgrades, and explains how to pass Mrs.Ramirez class also . It shows the grading policy, what this class is about, the different subjects included into it, and shows the Lab contract in case the students forget. This information can be very useful if a student forgets any information. You can also check your grades while your on this website. Now that's cool !
