Charms will enable parents and students . . .
- to access their student band accounts online.
- to pay for fees online, if so desired.
- to update personal information for communication (emails).
- and much more as we develop the site.
How to Access Charms
- Log onto charmsoffice.com and click the “ENTER/LOG IN” link in the upper right corner.
- Locate the “PARENT/STUDENT/MEMBERS LOGIN” section of the web page.
- Login to your account using the school code “FreeBand”. This will bring up the main parent page.
- Enter the ID number of your Student. Another more detailed screen appears with even more options to view your account information.
Here’s What You Need to Do
- Once you have first entered the ID number, create your own unique, more easily remembered password by clicking on the “lock” (Change Password) icon.
- Update Personal Information – Click the Personal Info
- Verify email addresses are correct, and add if missing.
- At least one parent email is needed, however, more adults can be added to suit your family’s needs.
- Each adult can be identified (as mom, dad, stepmother, grandparent, etc.) via the drop down menu.
