Manteca Unified is proud to celebrate two California Distinguished Schools! These honors represent a districtwide effort focused on closing achievement gaps through collaboration, instructional innovation, and student-centered support systems. Through that collective work, schools across MUSD are seeing measurable, meaningful results for students.

At Manteca Unified, smart budgeting practices start with one question: What do our students need to achieve?

This student-first mindset drives every decision. From school sites to district departments, our staff analyzes student data to identify supports and align resources to help students reach the next level.

Walter Woodward Elementary students and staff wore pink on February 26 to promote kindness, inclusion, and bullying prevention during Pink Shirt Day. Fifth grader Skylee Valiante helped bring the initiative to campus after researching the movement and presenting a proposal to school leadership. The day included social-emotional learning activities that encouraged students to be “Upstanders” and spread kindness across campus.
