Choir Director Folder List Hack

Why didn’t I figure this out my first year of teaching? During the first week of school this year, there were many transitions with choir rosters with students transferring in and out of our district, students adding choir, etc. I found myself changing seating charts and taping new folder lists up daily.

I shortened one aspect of that mundane task by using a clear sheet protector to slip the folder list into! It works like a charm! Once I have a new Chorfolio and slot for them, I just print the sheet and slip it in! No more fussing with rolled masking tape and taking the time to make sure it’s level. Just slide it in and go!

Cut the edge off of a sheet protector and tape the three closed sides!

The steps are easy:

  1. Take a sheet protector to a sharp paper cutter or a pair of scissors and cut off the three-ring tab.

  2. Optional - cut out one side of the top side so you can easily grab the sheet once it’s in.

  3. Tape three sides to your folder cabinet or wall.

  4. Slip your folder list in!

Happy folder listing!
