Best Out of Office Messages for Summer Break: Teacher out of office message
Share
Yesterday I opened my school email and went ahead and turned my AutoReply on. It felt good.... REALLY good!
I like to set up my autoreply before heading off to my summer break because that lets people know that I am away and they should not expect a response until the end of the summer!

Hello lovely human!
Thank you so much for your email. I hope you are doing well and enjoying these amazing summer days. We are heading off to Costa Rica for four weeks to visit my cousin. He has been working on sustainable forest research in La Selva. I am so excited to learn about this amazing tropical ecology, plus I will get to practice my Spanish. We will also be visiting an active volcano, YIKES!
Well, then. There you have it! Off I go!
Pura Vida!
