Hi Everyone,
Hope this finds you all well and surviving the hustle and bustle of the holiday season!
Lots for you to here today, so please read carefully:

Around-the-office reminders:

• fridges/freezers in both kitchens will be cleaned next week, so please label anything you do not want to be thrown out by the end of this week!
• Attention coffee drinkers!  Please make sure that the coffee maker gets turned off!  It was left on all last weekend!
• Your Momma doesn’t live here!  Please remember to clean up after yourselves in all work spaces, especially the kitchens — please do your own dishes, and wipe up any spills that you make in the microwaves and fridges.  Leaving your messes for someone else to clean up is simply unacceptable!
• Introducing…Interoffice Mail!  On the wall in the BI room next to the shred-me wall bin, is an interoffice mail bin. If you have papers that need to go to someone in  the office, put the paper in an empty interoffice mail folder (found in the interoffice mail bin) and fill out the sheet on the front. Please be  sure to put the room number of the person you need the envelope delivered to. There is a reference sheet of room numbers and room occupants on the  wall above the mail container. Also, return the empty envelope back to the  mail bin. Daily, a student will collect and deliver the mail. If the  recipient is not there and the office is open, the student will put the envelope on the recipient’s desk. If the recipient’s office is closed, the student will return the envelop to the interoffice mail bin, and try again the next day.

From B.O./HR:

• the end of this current pay period is Monday, Dec. 25th.  Please remember to approve your time cards by noon on Tuesday, Dec. 26th.
  
• Attention 401K Participants!  Please read attached plan description of your 401K plan and let HR know if you have any questions.
• Attached please find a letter which highlights the most significant changes you will find in the 2018 Sd policy manual.   After the first of the year, the entire updated policy manual will be found on the Sd employee website.
