Back to School Night at Folly Quarter Middle
When: September 4, 2025 at 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Back to Music Session for Parents and Guardians of students enrolled in Band, Chorus, and Orchestra at 5:30 PM in the cafeteria.
We are excited to welcome each and every family to the 2025 Back to School Night at Folly Quarter Middle School. Our classroom doors will open at 6:00 PM. We would like all families to arrive to first period by 6:10 PM. We provided a little extra time for parking, talking with the PTSA and more. We encourage you to carpool, if possible, as parking is limited. Please do not block a firelane so we have full access to the building. You can also park at Triadelphia Ridge Elementary and there is a walking path between our schools.
What should I bring? We encourage you to bring a copy/picture of your child’s schedule with you. You can always take a picture or screenshot of their schedule from the computer/smart device. You will only go to quarter one classes for Back to School Night. You can always sit with your child to review the schedule as well. You may want to bring something so that you can take notes, if needed.
How do I access my child’s schedule? To do before BTSN
- Log into your Synergy account at www.hcpss.org/connect
- Once in your account, click on Student Info on the left. To see your schedule, click on Class Schedule and you will see the schedule. In the upper right corner, you can see Quarter 1, Quarter 2, Quarter 3, Quarter 4 or All. You only need quarter 1 for Back to School Night.
If you need assistance with accessing the schedule, please see a counselor in the lobby prior to 6:10 PM. A counselor will be able to assist with locating a schedule upon request as needed.
What You Can Expect? Back to School Night will allow you to visit your child’s classrooms and to meet the professionals who teach them. You will start in First period where we will start with our welcome from the Administration, PTSA, and hear from our GT Research teacher. You will then have the opportunity to travel around the building to each of your child’s classes and get to know your child’s teachers better. Each class visit is only eight minutes, which is a great way for the teacher to talk to all parents at once. That said, if there is something that you would like to address with a teacher, we want to give you the time and attention you deserve which cannot be achieved on Back to School Night. If this is the case, we respectfully request that you contact the teacher directly. Staff contact information is located here.
You will also have the opportunity to sign up for our PTSA, which does so much for our school. We appreciate the membership and donations as it directly supports the students and staff at Folly Quarter Middle School. Please consider joining as we could not do a lot of the exciting initiatives for our kids without our PTSA!
We know you are wondering if you should bring your student with you. Space is at a premium. Imagine 700+ students, plus parents trying to move from class to class. If you are able, we ask that you come to Back to School Night without your child as space will be limited. We have plenty of staff to help guide you where to go as well as maps.
