Bastian Parents, Guardians, and Students,
I hope that each of you had an amazing Fall Break! My family has officially returned from an adventure of our own, and I wanted to give you a quick reminder about two important events happening at Bastian Elementary this week: a lockdown drill happening tomorrow (10/29/26) at 9:15 a.m., and our Halloween Costume Parade/Parties that are happening on Friday (10/30/26) beginning at 9:15 a.m.
Lockdown Drill:
Our school will be practicing the first of two required lockdown drills tomorrow beginning at 9:15 a.m. This drill is meant to prepare students and teachers for emergency situations in which an intruder has made their way into the building. If you do not wish for your child to participate in this drill, please plan on bringing them to school sometime after 10:00 a.m. All students, and adults, who are present in the building when the drill begins will be required to participate in the drill.
Please also note: WE WILL BE UNABLE TO CHECK ANY STUDENTS IN OR OUT DURING THE DRILL. Students who arrive after 9:15 a.m. but before the drill has concluded will also not be given access to the building. Please ensure that your child either arrives before 9:15 a.m., or after we have concluded our drill.
Halloween Parade and Party Information:
Bastian's Halloween Costume Parade will take place on October 30th beginning at 9:15 a.m.! Our 6th grade students will be doing a performance of "Thriller" right after the parade, at roughly 9:45 a.m. Parties for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 6th Grades 10:30-11:30 a.m., Parties for Kindergarten, 4th, and 5th Grades 11:55-12:55 a.m.
I've included a map of the parade route below, please plan on finding a spot to view the parade somewhere along the parade route but NOT in any area that is highlighted in yellow. Please also remember that parking is limited at Bastian Elementary, and that the parking lot on the east side of the school is reserved for faculty and staff members.
Thank you for your continued support,
Garett York
