Charms Info

CHARMS is the band’s online database and is used by the directors and boosters to communicate with students and parents through email and text messaging.  CHARMS is much more than an email database though, as there are several items that can easily be tracked including student finances, attendance at band rehearsals, assigned inventory items such as instruments and uniforms, volunteer signup, and forms and handouts. One of the best parts of CHARMS is that students and parents/guardians can login to CHARMS, view all the information listed above, and update their own contact information. In fact, the key to receiving communication from the directors and boosters is to always ensure that BOTH student and parent/guardian email, cell, and cell carrier information is entered and entered correctly.  We cannot overemphasize the importance of this enough.  If this information is not in CHARMS you will miss important information as we do not send information home with students on paper handouts and we do not always make announcements to students in class in order to utilize rehearsal time efficiently.
