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!

💙 Honoring a Legacy of Service 💙

Students at Minico High School in Mr. Travis Kent and Brent VanEvery’s class recently completed a beautiful memorative bench to honor the mother of Coleen Jones, District Transportation Director.

Coleen’s mother dedicated more than 50 years of service to the district as a school bus driver and transportation department employee. This bench stands as a lasting tribute to her commitment, hard work, and the countless students she supported over the decades.

We are incredibly proud of our students for their craftsmanship, compassion, and for helping preserve the legacy of those who have served our school community so faithfully. 💙🚌
