What are Thursday Folders?
Thursday Folders are the red and white folders you have found in your child's back pack. University Park uses these folders to communicate with parents. It is important to review the items in the Thursday folder. The following items are things you may find in your Thursday Folder:
The class room always needs help assembling these folders on Thursdays. If you can volunteer about 45 minutes of your day, please visit our volunteer page to learn more.
- Homework from Mrs. Clark
- A sheet of paper Mrs. Clark uses to communicate with you about your child. If there is something you think she should know, this is a place for you to write it to here.
- Weekly UPark Bulletin
- Notices about the school
- Lunch menu on a monthly basis
- Any other item that is being distributed school wide

Volunteering for Thursday Folder Assemble
Items for the Thursday Folder are usually ready by 9am on Thursday for assemble but you might want to want until after 10am as sometimes there are last minute items added. Here are all the steps that need to be taken to assemble the folders. You can do it in the back of Mrs. Clark's classroom or you can use the school work room.
- Sign in as a volunteer in the office
- Pick up items for folder in Mrs. Clark's mail box in office (just ask someone there and they will show you her box)
- Head to classroom and take all the Thursday folders from the bin directly to the right as you walk in
- In the same spot, take the homework checklist with the names of all the students in (you will be checking in homework)
- On the homework checklist, put the date of the homework you are checking in. You will be placing a mark by each student's name if they turned in their homework.
- If it is the end/beginning of the month, you will also have the Monthly Calendars and Star Reader sheets. These checklists are in the front of the class room by the computers. You will add a sticker to them.
- First you will dissemble the folders by taking out all the home work and checking off who has completed it.
- Take out all the communication sheets to Mrs. Clark and put those in a pile leave on Mrs. Clark's table.
- Check homework, add a sticker and return to folder.
- Now it is time to assemble the folders. Put all the items from the office and new homework assignment from Mrs. Clark in the folders.
- Return all the folders to the bin where you found them.
