The Freedom Elementary Christmas Giving Tree is up and decorated! We have items listed for families here in need of some help this holiday season. If you'd like to donate to the cause, please stop by the office and pick an ornament off the tree. If you can't make it to the building, your child may grab one off the tree with your permission. Just let Jen in the office know if that's the case so she can keep track of everything. More information in the flyer. We appreciate your generosity!

Students who need help with homework or a problem subject can get free virtual one-on-one tutoring sessions using a simple and secure online platform.
Parents will first need to register their students to use the platform. Once registered, sessions can either be pre-scheduled or on-demand, depending on tutor availability.
The program is staffed with university students accepted into their Schools of Education at Black Hills State University and Northern State University. This opportunity is being administered by the South Dakota Board of Regents with federal dollars available to the South Dakota Department of Education through the American Rescue Plan.
