SF Employee Checklist Before Winter Break
December 8, 2021
December 8, 2020 – Santa Fe College will be predominantly closed for winter break from Saturday, Dec. 18, 2021, through Sunday, Jan. 2, 2022. There will, however, be select student services holding limited hours during the break. Here are a few things to remember before turning out the lights:
- All SF employees should create an automatic out-of-office email reply indicating that the college is closed for winter break. An example message might read: "Thank you for your message. Santa Fe College will be closed for winter break from Saturday, Dec. 18, 2021, through Sunday, Jan. 2, 2022, however there will be some staff available to support students for winter break. When I return to my desk at 8 a.m. Monday, Jan. 3, I will be happy to get in touch with you."
- All SF employees should place an out-of-office voicemail message on their phones indicating that the college is closed and when they will be back in the office. If you need instructions for changing your voicemail, ask around your department or check out the online instructions for your phone. There is a list of phones installed on campus on the ITS website at sfcollege.edu/its/training/phones.
- Make sure you remove any perishable items from office refrigerators and take them home with you. You may also want to consider taking any plants you keep in the office home as well.
- Before coming to the Northwest Campus or any of the SF centers during the break, contact the SFPD on the non-emergency line at 352-395-5519. The SF Police Department is open 24/7 and will remain operational during the break.
The college will resume normal business operations Monday, Jan. 3, 2022, and spring, spring A and spring D classes will begin Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2022.
Have a happy and safe winter break!
