Safety & Communication Procedures at MUSD

The safety of our students is always our top priority at Manteca Unified. Browse this page to learn about safety procedures and communication strategies in MUSD.As a District, we understand the need to have a trusting relationship with parents and support providers, especially during a school emergency. With the partnership of local law enforcement agencies and fire departments, MUSD has an emergency plan in place that outlines preparedness, prevention, response, and recovery to keep students and staff safe and the community informed.
 

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS MODEL

Our district aligns with the four key phases of the FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) model: preparedness, prevention, response, and recovery. Our safety plans emphasize proactive training, effective communication, and strong recovery protocols to ensure that students and staff are well-prepared for any emergency situation.

Safety Terms

When communicating about potentially escalating situations on campus, the District will use the following safety terms to share the status of a situation with families. We encourage you to read the descriptions and examples below and memorize the meaning of these terms so you fully understand any communications sent out by your school.

MUSD understands the importance of rapid communication as we work to keep our students safe. Our District offers many communication tools to make sure you stay connected.

We aim to maintain transparent communication and information with you and understand this need in a time of urgency. If there was ever an imminent threat to your child, District leaders, law enforcement, and emergency response professionals would take immediate and necessary precautions or responses. We will make every effort to communicate information appropriately to retain this trust, while not compromising the efficiency of emergency response on campus. Below is a quick reference guide on when, where, and how you should expect communication from MUSD as well as your child(ren)’s school.
