Welcome to Henry P. Clough Principal's Blog


I am so glad you decided to check out my Principal's Blog. I have had the privilege of working for the Mendon-Upton Regional School District for the past 16 years. I taught at Memorial School for 1 year and Clough School for 11 years, and spent four years as the Curriculum Director. My husband Brian and I live in Upton and have two girls, Erin and Meghan, who both went through the Mendon-Upton School District. I know firsthand what a strong district this is. I am excited to be the principal of Clough Elementary School.

I believe communication is vital. It is my goal to keep the lines of communication open with students, staff, parents, and the community. I will use this blog as a vehicle to keep everyone up to date on what’s going on at Henry P. Clough Elementary School.

I look forward to a productive year where we all work together to ensure our students receive the best education possible in a caring and safe environment.

Best Regards,
Janice Gallagher

Digital Learning Day


I hope you all will consider participating in Digital Learning Day—a national campaign that celebrates teachers and the potential of instructional technologies in schools. Take a moment to visit the website at http://www.digitallearningday.org and click “Sign Up” to join hundreds of other districts across the country that are hosting Digital Learning Day celebrations and encouraging school-based activities, projects, and interactive lessons (provided by Digital Learning Day) in math, science, civics, and language arts.

It’s all happening on February 6, 2013. I encourage all educators to sign up at http://digitallearningday.org/registration/ before Friday, January 10 and you will be entered in a raffle to win one of five $100 Amazon gift cards. Join this wave of innovation sweeping across our nation’s schools! Participation is free and easy. Digital Learning Day is open to all interested education leaders both in and out of school.

This is a great opportunity to share your efforts in digital learning with community leaders by highlighting your results and showcasing our best teachers!
