About Bastian Elementary
Built in 2017, Bastian is located in the rapidly growing city of Herriman, Utah. Our school is nestled close to the beautiful Oquirrh Mountains. We believe in making a difference every day by teaching students academic content and social/emotional skills that will develop self-confidence, worth, and a love of learning to foster independence.
August 9, 2026 Newsletter
Greetings Bastian Witches, Wizards, and Muggles, 
Like a blast-ended skrewt, the school year is inching ever closer! We're excited to welcome each of you back into the building next week, and to welcome back our professors beginning tomorrow morning. But, before that happens, we need to share some important information with you!
Back-to-School Night:
We are looking forward to hosting Back-to-School Night on August 17th. Although, the structure of the evening may be a bit different than you are accustomed to from the past.
The event will, essentially, run in two sessions. Our first session will begin at 4:30 p.m. and run until 5:30 p.m. The second session will begin at 5:30 p.m. and conclude at 6:30 p.m.
Regardless of which session you choose, you will begin with Mr. York and Mrs. Burton in the school’s gym where information about student pick-up and drop off, the volunteer sign-up process, information about how to stay up-to-date with what is happening at Bastian, as well as other important information you’ll need throughout the school year.
Following your initial 15-minutes with administrators, families will visit classrooms in 15-minute sessions. This will allow each teacher a chance to share important information about their classroom without repeating themselves over-and-over while still allowing families to visit multiple classrooms as needed.
PTA Information: 
The PTA is seeking volunteers to help at their table during Back-to-School Night. Those volunteers will help other parents get signed up to become members of the PTA and to help sell Bastian's 2026-27 spirit gear to those families who are interested.
This year's Reflections theme is "What My Culture Means to Me." Find more information by following the link below:
As a reminder, here is what this year's Spirit Gear will look like:
Pre-K Aide Position:
If you are looking for a part-time job, our Pre-K classroom is looking for an aide. The position works 25 hours each school week, Monday through Thursday with pay starting at $19.94 per hour. If you’re interested, you’ll find more information below:
Thank you for your continued support,
Garett York
