Henry P. Clough Principal's Blog: February 2013

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

Parent Investigation Information Evening

On Thursday evening Mrs. Kristen Berthao, third grade teacher and Math Curriculum Assistant for Clough School held an information evening for any parent who was interested in learning more about our K-5 math program. We had a great turn out in spite of the impending blizzard that was to hit us on Friday. Feedback was extremely positive. We will be looking to hold another evening like this for parents in the spring. We hope if you weren't able to attend the one on February 7th you will be able to attend our next one. Once we pin down a date and time we will let everyone know.
