Planning For the Worst- Hoping for the Best
Since early August the Albany County School District has been planning how to serve kids totally digitally. Should our school or our entire system need to make this switch we want families to be ready as well. We've created a presentation to share many of the big details about Classroom Based Virtual Instruction (CBVI) in Albany County. Please note that there are no current plans to go totally digital. However, we are ready to do so if needed. We'll be holding an online forum to answer questions about these plans in the coming weeks. For now, we are sharing plans with you strictly for your information.

White Cane Awareness Day Governor's Proclamation Video
Governor Mark Gordon has proclaimed October 15th White Cane Awareness Day in Wyoming! He joined Beitel students at a socially-distanced assembly at Washington Park to sign the official proclamation. Governor Gordon then joined our Bulldogs in a white cane walk around the park.
Many thanks go to the Beitel staff and volunteers for the planning, preparation, and on-site support of this event!
Halloween With Some Adjustments
- Yes! Wear a costume if you like! There are some expectations:
- No gore or weapons
- Costumes will be worn all day as we don't have the ability to social distance AND provide changing space for everyone.
- Costumes must allow for participation in all school activities- PE, sitting in a desk, etc.
- No costume masks or special make-up. (We need to keep hands away from faces)
- Regular masks and social distancing are still expected- even with a costume.
- If the above makes your costume impractical, or if you don't have a costume, wear pajamas to school on the 30th!
Parent Teacher Conferences
Parent Teacher Conferences are just around the corner.
Conferences will be via Zoom this year.
Students will have a half day on Wednesday, Oct. 21 and not attend school on Thursday or Friday October 22 or 23.

School Gardens Feed Laramie Families
Gardens located at Albany County schools are typically used to teach students about how plants grow. Classes and garden clubs learn about the life cycle of plants, how plants provide food, and the work needed to maintain a thriving garden. When schools were abruptly closed last spring these learning opportunities were no longer available. Instead, our school gardens were repurposed into food producers for Albany County Families.
Ms. Trish Penny from the Laramie River Conservation District along with volunteers prepared, planted, watered, weeded, and harvested the different school gardens over the summer. Harvested vegetables were distributed to families when they picked up Grab-N-Go meals from the school district in August.
An amazing amount of produce was produced! This included:
- 218 pounds of carrots
- 101 pound of green beans
- 14 pounds of tri-colored beans
- 56 pounds of red beets
- 7 pounds of radish
- 47 pounds of cucumbers
- 29 pounds of purple onions
- 117 pounds of white onions
- 19.5 pounds of turnips
- 5 pounds of tomatoes
Leafy vegetables:
- 83 bags of green leaf lettuce
- 20 bags of Swiss Chard
- 28 bags of kale
- 12 bags of collard greens
- 12 bags of turnip greens
- 6 bags of beet greens
- 23 bags of spinach
The Beitel garden was part of this effort! Thank you to Ms. Penny, Mrs. Greenwald, and the many volunteers who helped to feed families this summer!

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.
*normal text messaging rates may apply

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.
