We're updating our phone systems this weekend. Starting at 4:00 PM today (Friday, November 8, 2024), phone service at Freeman Schools will be unavailable for most of the weekend. After the new phone system is installed and tested, the number to use to contact any Freeman school will be (605) 925-4214. There will be menu options to choose Freeman Jr.-Sr. High School or Freeman Elementary. PLEASE NOTE - because of how the new system is configured, outbound calls from the school will show up as (605) 910-4249 on your caller ID.
