Retaking the SAT/ACT My son is a plebe this year. He was accepted on second try after one year at a university. He did not re-take, nor was he encouraged, to retake the SAT/ACT. These are considered predictions of how you will do. He made all A's taking plebe level courses. He also recieved the...

Health Dept Our DS got his records from the pediatrician and took them to the Health Dept. For a kid who is healthy, surprised how many vaccines he did need updated. Our health dept was a bit inept at figuring out how to file with our insurance, so I just had him use my HSA account. A bit over...
