Victoria Fellows will be joining us on Tuesday, January 17th for 4 hours per day. We will be bouncing her around a little with offices, but please introduce yourselves and make her feel welcome.
- Lockdown Protocol: We will have a new protocol for student-related building lockdowns. If you hear the phrase "Secure your area" announced, we should close doors and carry on as usual until an all-clear is shared. We will discuss this in a staff meeting in further detail.

- Snow/Weather Days: If all districts in Eaton County (Eaton Rapids, Charlotte, Grand Ledge, Potterville, and Maple Valley) are closed, Eaton RESA is fully closed. Your key cards will NOT work if we have a snow day. If the business office is open, you can use the front door. Please pay careful attention to the weather if you have events and activities going on. If anyone ever has an emergency with the building being closed, contact me to meet you at the building.

- Expense Reimbursements: Reminder...our grants to not have the budget to reimburse you for "meeting" meals/coffee/etc. If you have a meeting at a restaurant, you will not be able to be reimbursed for food/beverage. The only time we can reimburse for these items are if you are at an approved conference.
- Time Off: If you are taking time off for sick time, personal time, vacation time, or bereavement time...these must be entered in Aesop. You can't enter the time off after a certain time in the morning so if you miss that window, please e-mail me or Jodi to manually enter it for you.
