Starting Monday, September 15, 2025, Pleasant Union is launching a centralized absence/attendance email address. ALL parents are to email their child’s absence reason to: Attendance531@wcpss.net. The student’s first and last name, child’s track, and teacher must be included in the email. For a medical-related appointment during school hours, the dated doctor or appt note is necessary to be counted as an excused tardy. A doctor’s note is also necessary for 3 consecutive days of absences due to illness. Absences will only be excused when proper documentation is received by the attendance office within 48 hours of the student's return to school. For more info on attendance, read School Board Policy 4400: Attendance.
