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.

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! 💛

East Minico teachers met today to set goals and prep for the school year.🏴‍☠️ We capped off the day by doing a "Treasure Drop" where teachers dropped off treats to students. It was fun to see the confused smiles on their faces when they saw teachers at their door.😂 Thanks to the Wilson Theatre for providing the venue for our training!💜 #eastminico #historicwilson #goirates #piratepirde
