Information on SMS text messaging and Short Codes:
SMS stands for Short Message Service and is commonly referred to as a "text message". Most cell phones support this type of text messaging. Our notification provider, SchoolMessenger, uses a true SMS protocol developed by the telecommunications industry specifically for mass text massaging, referred to as "short code" texting. The method is fast secure and highly reliable because it is strictly regulated by the wireless carriers and only allows access to approved providers. If you've ever sent s text vote for a TV show to a number like 46999, you have used short code texting.

Inside or Outside Recess? How Do We Decide?
When the weather turns colder Beitel starts to think about whether recess should happen indoors or outdoors. All schools in Albany County follow the same plan: When temperatures are zero or above, recess will be outside. Anything negative will be inside. Temperatures include the wind chill. At Beitel we use a weather station at the Albany County School District bus garage to give us neighborhood-specific temperatures. It's just a few miles away on Skyline Road and is often different information than what popular weather apps use. Those sources will use information from the Laramie Airport several miles outside of town. A link to the Skyline Road weather station is posted here:
Please help your student to come to school dressed for the weather! We will be outside if zero or above and inside for any negative temperatures!

Why We Come To Work Each Day
Beitel’s Mission:
All Beitel students will reach high standards and leave prepared with knowledge, skills, and abilities to succeed at the next level.
What is a mission? For the adults at Beitel Elementary School, it's the reason why we come to work each day. It's why we exist. It's why you see cars in our "parking lot" late in the evening and throughout the weekend. We work hard to make this statement true for all of our young Bulldogs year after year. Our mission helps us to define what we should do and, often, what we choose not to do. Thank you for helping to make our mission possible.
Winter Break
Beitel Teachers and Staff want to wish all our Beitel families a safe, fun and relaxing winter break. We will see you back on Monday, January 6, 2020.
