Welcome to Eaton RESA

As the 2026-27 school year begins, Eaton County Prosecutor Douglas Lloyd has again shared a letter to families reminding them to talk to students about the seriousness of threats made to schools, students or staff or our communities. The letter serves as a reminder that all threats are taken seriously treated as intentional and serious, regardless of whether someone claims they were joking or did not mean to cause fear.

Families are encouraged to talk with their students about school safety, including threats and reporting suspicious or concerning behavior to a trusted adult or through the Michigan Student Safety Program, OK2Say.

Families in Eaton County are invited to FREE Community Playgroups designed for children and infants from birth through 5 years old, along with their siblings. These fun and engaging playgroups will be held in Grand Ledge, Charlotte and Eaton Rapids. Please see the complete list of playgroups and locations.

Each playgroup offers a welcoming space for families to connect while children enjoy stories, movement activities, art, social interaction and plenty of play. Parents and caregivers must remain with their children at all times, and each child will receive a free book to take home.

Eaton Regional Educational Service Agency (RESA) celebrated the completion of its 2026 Inclusion in Manufacturing Camp, "Picture the Possibilities," a program designed to introduce high school and post high school-aged students with special needs, disabilities or other barriers to employment to careers in manufacturing.

Eaton RESA is excited to welcome two new members to its leadership team: Eileen Prihoda, who joined the Special Education team as the Director for Maple Valley Schools and Related Services, and Crystal Knight, the new Executive Assistant to the Superintendent.
