Updates/Implications for Passage of HB-13
What does this mean for Pleasant Union?
We will have to add some classrooms. It will involve adding a second double track in specific grades so that we can meet the individual class and K-3 class average class size. The new guidelines could cause changes in some students' track assignments to meet the new state guidelines. As we have more specific information we will be communicating this to affected students' families.

- We are excited to announce that student transportation information can now be found in one single location, Home Base, also known as Powerschool. In order to provide the highest level of customer service to our families we are asking those of you who do not yet have a Powerschool account to stop by the school office to complete the necessary form. You can find more information at www.wcpss.net/student-information.
Once you have a Powerschool account, look for the transportation tab to see your student’s transportation status and type. If your student is a bus rider, stop and route information is also provided.

Jump Rope For Heart Program Comes to Pleasant Union
We continue to make good progress toward our goal of $5000. We are almost half-way there. Thank you to all that have contributed.
Letter from the Jump Rope for Heart Association:
We kicked off our Jump Rope For Heart program this past week and our school's event is right around the corner! We are thrilled to participate as we work together to raise money for the American Heart Association and learn how nutrition and being active can help us live longer, healthier lives.
First things first! We have an easy way for you to raise money ONLINE by having your very own fundraising page. Simply click on this link to go to the Pleasant Union Elem Jump Rope for Heart site!
Pleasant Union Fundraising Page.
You may already be hearing your student talk about the Zoo Crew Ecard Challenge! This is a creative way for your student to choose a heart healthy habit to start doing today! By using the Zoo Crew Ecard Challenge your student will challenge others to do the same and help them reach their fundraising goal.
Once you have your fundraising page, login to your HeadQuarters to get started.
1. Take the Zoo Crew Ecard Challenge and pass it on to 10 friends! Your student will earn their very own Rory’s Zoo Crew Badge! Your teacher has them now.
2. Take the Zoo Crew Daily Mission to unlock cool things in your expedition!
Thank you so much for supporting our school and the American Heart Association. We know you can do this!
