Manteca Unified Communication Plan  

What we want to communicate
The purpose of the Manteca Unified Communication Plan is to present a clear and concise framework for communicating with our school community which is directly tied to our Mission Statement.  This plan addresses both internal and external communications and is designed to answer the "Who, What, Where, When, and Why" questions related to communications in Manteca Unified.
 
Goals of this plan
 
1.  Maintain and enrich internal communications in order to keep all staff informed on issues both current and upcoming and support this communication with ongoing training.
 
2. Continue using a variety of media to effectively communicate with students, parents, and the community at both the School Site and District levels.
 
3.  Proactively communicate in order to foster trust, understanding, and shared knowledge.
