The results of last year’s California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress have been received and uploaded to both Q Student Connect accounts and Q Parent Connect accounts for students in 4th – 9th grade and 12th grade.

The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress, known as CAASPP, is the state’s academic test that measures a student’s ability to meet California grade-level standards. The data received from these tests are just one way to measure student achievement, and is different than MUSD's MAP testing, which is focused on learning growth. The CAASPP provides parents, teachers, students, and administrators with information about student performance in key subject areas. 

If you need help accessing your child’s results, click here for more information.

For questions related to assessment scores, please reach out to your child’s teacher. 

We value working together to support students' education and growth. We are happy to introduce Family Guides, which will help families better understand their child’s standards-based report card and how you can support learning from home. 

One of the most powerful ways a family can support their child is by fostering a love of learning and showing enthusiasm for school. Even if parents or caregivers aren’t fully comfortable with their own reading or math skills, modeling curiosity and willingness to learn is what matters most. 

These family guides include the learning standards in each subject by grade level, guidance for ways to support learning, and additional resources. 

We have also developed example report cards to help families prepare for the change to Standards-Based Report Cards. Report card examples and family guides for each grade level can be accessed at www.mantecausd.net/reportcards.  

During the week of September 9-13, families of students in grades UTK-8 will participate in Goal-Setting Conferences!

The Goal Setting Conference provides an opportunity to establish relationships between students, teachers, and families based on feedback and support. Goal setting helps students take ownership of their learning. These conferences differ from a traditional parent-teacher conference, which only allows for discussion after teaching and learning have taken place.

Teachers share information based on the individual student, such as attendance, participation, work samples, testing data, and other important information.

Effective goal setting helps students understand how their learning is measured. When students own their learning goals, with the support of their teacher, it encourages them to be lifelong learners.

As we settle into a new school year, whether you’re new to the MUSD community or a returning family, we wanted to share an important reminder with you!

Manteca Unified and its schools have emergency plans in place that include detailed safety protocols for various situations. These plans are updated as needed by district administrators and school site safety teams to reflect current local, state, and national conditions as well as refinement to campus safety protocols.

Should an incident occur, families may receive information via phone call, email, or text message. In these important messages, certain safety terms will be used.  

It’s important to understand these terms, so you know what actions are being taken to keep everyone safe. We recommend reviewing these terms regularly and discussing them with your children, students, or family.  

This month, we’re thrilled to launch the Student Voices initiative, a dynamic new platform designed to empower high school and jr. high students. Starting in September, high schools across the district will host quarterly forums so students can share their thoughts, suggestions, and ideas on crucial aspects of their educational experience.

What’s the Purpose?

The initiative aims to give students a structured opportunity to influence critical areas such as school climate, safety, academic achievement, and student engagement. By participating, students are helping to shape a better learning environment and fostering a culture of respect and responsibility.

How Does It Work?

High school forums will be held during lunchtime (unless otherwise specified) each quarter. Students will either be randomly invited on campus or have the option to voice their interest by filling out an interest form that will be shared via flyers or campus and social media posts for each respective high school. 

This month, student representatives from Manteca Unified's five traditional high schools were sworn into office!

Student Board Members serve as the voice of their school's diverse student body at the district level and work alongside the Board Trustees on various projects and events.

National Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated annually in the United States from September 15 to October 15!



This month-long observance honors the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans. The starting date of September 15 is significant as it marks the anniversary of independence for several Latin American countries, including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.

Check out the resources below to celebrate the diverse heritage and achievements of Hispanic and Latino communities in America.
