Parking Change on 17th Street
We have a new parking restriction at Beitel that we need to share with everyone. Based on a recommendation from the Laramie Fire Department, the area from our front door all the way to the corner of 17th and Sheridan is now a No Parking Zone. This gives sufficient space for responders and their vehicles to access our school in case of emergency. Please adjust your parking accordingly! We would hate to have you cited for not noticing the change!
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!

Our Mission:
All Beitel students will reach high standards and leave prepared with knowledge, skills, and abilities to succeed at the next level.
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.
