Foley Middle School is structured around a 'Team Concept'. Each student is assigned to a core team of 4 teachers (Math, Reading, Social Studies and Science). This team of teachers has common planning time and may schedule Parent/Teacher Conferences that include each member. The Team Concept is designed to allow each student to belong to a family in the school environment, and to allow teachers to have a better overall understanding of each child and their unique needs.

In addition to the core team, each student is assigned to a teacher from the Writing/English Team. Additionally, every student will have all teachers in both the Creative Arts and Wellness Teams. If a child is not reading at his/her grade level, then the child will be assigned to a Reading Specialist from the Reading Team. These teachers give additional support to ensure that the child 'catches up'. Similarly, if a child has been identified as having special needs, then that child will have additional assistance from a teacher from the Special Education and Speech Team.
