Important Transportation Information for Students Living Within the Red Boundary in Heyburn,
Families of students who live within the red boundary should be aware of updated transportation arrangements for the upcoming school year.
Minico High School students who reside within the red boundary will use one of two designated bus stops:
18th St & O St — Bus 143
20th St & O St — Bus 181
Buses are expected to arrive at these stops shortly after 7:20 AM. In the afternoon, students will be dropped off at the same two locations. Bus stop times and transportation details may be refined as routes are finalized.
Students attending Mt. Harrison High School or Minidoka Junior High School who live within the red boundary will walk to school.
Please review the accompanying map to determine which transportation arrangement applies to your student.

🍎 Great news for Minidoka families!
Minidoka County Joint School District will participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). During the 2026–2027 school year, every enrolled student at participating district schools may receive one breakfast and one lunch each school day at no cost, regardless of household income.
Families will no longer need to complete annual free and reduced-price meal applications. Please review the attached information for participating schools, second-meal pricing, previous meal balances, and other important details.
Healthy meals help students arrive ready to learn, grow, and succeed!

Today, we celebrate more than a passed levy — we celebrate the strength, generosity, and commitment of the Minidoka community.
Thank you for investing in our students, our schools, and the programs that help every child grow into a well-rounded learner. Your support helps us continue providing opportunities in athletics, safety, and academic supports as we prepare students to thrive in our global community.
From all of us at Minidoka Schools: thank you for believing in our students and supporting their future.

🎉 We’re excited to celebrate the hard work and success of our Minidoka School District students and staff!
Minico High School surpassed Idaho state averages in ELA and Math, and schools across our district showed impressive score improvements. We are so proud of the dedication, effort, and achievement happening in our schools.
To celebrate, there will be no school for students on May 28th.
¡Estamos muy orgullosos de nuestros estudiantes, maestros y escuelas!
