Hello, this is Josie Hall from Horse Branch Elementary with an important announcement.

As we move into the second semester, we want to make families aware that there is a possibility of using NTI Days if needed due to winter weather. At this time, our district is not planning to use NTI Days, but we want to be prepared in case missed school days occur.

NTI work will be coming home with students today, December 18th, in preparation for the possible use of NTI Days in the second semester. Sending these packets home at this time is completely precautionary, and we ask that families place them in a safe location so they do not get lost.

In the event of winter weather, communication will come from the district indicating whether we will have an NTI Day or a traditional snow day. Families will receive a phone call, and the information will also be posted on the district and school Facebook pages.

Please do not have students complete any of the NTI work unless the district officially calls an NTI Day.

Thank you for your continued support, and have a great day.

Tomorrow, December 18th, Horse Branch Elementary School is excited to present our Christmas program, “How to Train Your Reindeer to Fly!” 🎄🦌

We will have two performances for families to enjoy. The first performance will begin at 9:00 a.m., and the second performance will begin at 1:00 p.m.

Please note that Preschool students will only perform at the 9:00 a.m. showing. All other students will participate in both performances.

We kindly ask that families choose one performance to attend. This will help reduce traffic congestion and allow more family members and friends the opportunity to join us.

We look forward to celebrating this festive season with you and hope to see you there!

Horse Branch will be having Sports Pictures tomorrow, December 16. Basketball players and cheerleaders should bring their uniforms, completed order forms, and payment to turn in at that time.

OK, Facebook friends it is that time of year again to vote for your favorite classroom door. If you like a door and want to cast your vote- like or love that picture. 😌 We will take likes or loves until next Thursday, December 18 at 3pm. The winner will get a jeans pass. If you know teachers, we love our jean days. 😊🤣 Students will also get to vote. Teachers will take their students around at some point next week, and the students winner will also receive a Jean pass. So we will have two winners for the classroom door contest… We will have the student winner, and we will have the Facebook page winner.

Ohio County Schools will be closed Wednesday, December 3, 2025

Good morning, this is Mrs. Hall from Horse Branch Elementary.
I want to personally challenge our parents and community members to join us tomorrow for the Horse Branch Blood Drive from 10:00 to 6:00.

Donating blood truly saves lives, and your donation could make an incredible difference. And here’s something even more meaningful—if we have enough donors, our blood drive team will not have to work on Thanksgiving Day. Your donation not only helps patients in need, but also gives these hardworking team members the chance to spend the holiday with their families.

Please consider taking a little time tomorrow to make a big impact. We hope to see you there, and thank you for supporting our community.

Join us tonight at Pizza Hut for Tip Night to support our Horse Branch 6th-grade basketball team! Every tip helps our kids purchase new uniforms. Bring the family, enjoy a meal, and stop by anytime between 5:00 and 8:00 PM. We’d love to see you there!

We look forward to honoring our Veterans together tomorrow morning.

Zoodles will be here on Monday, November 3rd. Students must have a signed permission slip to attend. Please make sure to turn in your child’s form if you’d like them to participate in the Zoodles program.

Hi, this is Mrs. Hall calling with a quick reminder that Parent-Teacher Conferences will be today from 3:30 to 6:00 p.m. Please remember each conference will last about 15 minutes so teachers can meet with all families. We look forward to seeing you then!

Tomorrow, Monday, October 28th, we’ll have Parent-Teacher Conferences from 3:30 to 6:00 p.m. We look forward to seeing you and discussing your child’s progress.
