Thank you for your patience and support over the last two weeks.
Our Director of Transportation experienced very difficult personal circumstances this summer that delayed bus route setup. She will be back on duty tomorrow, Tuesday, September 2, 2025.
We’re deeply grateful for our staff and community who stepped up to keep students safe and supported. Moving forward, we are working to prevent disruptions like this in the future. Thank you for your continued understanding, kindness, and teamwork.

If you need to get a message to your child before the end of the school day, please call the office before 3:15 PM. We will make every effort to get messages to them after 3:15, but we can't guarantee anything. We can be reached at 208-436-3178.

Thank you to Grace Church for the kind gift for our staff on the first day of school!


Posting this at 9:30 PM. If you are an East Minico student, it is time to power down devices for the night. Research shows that powering down 30-60 minutes before bed improves sleep. Read a book for the next 30 minutes and get a good night's rest.💜
Parents, remember that traffic is very heavy in the morning, so give yourself plenty of time to drop your student off. Better yet, drop them off a block away and let them walk the rest of the way. 🏴☠️

🚨 PARENTS – IMPORTANT BUS REMINDER! 🚨
❗ Do NOT send your child on the bus without knowing their home address — or having it written down and placed in their backpack.
🚌 If we don’t know where they live, we can’t get them home safely.
Thank you for helping us keep every student safe and get them home on time! 💛
