    Logo The BMHS band program uses CHARMS to manage student contact information, communication, inventory, music, and band finances.  ALL parents and students need to enter their contact information, and update it whenever necessary.  Parents can also check on recently deposited payments and charges to their individual child's band account.  Click on the image to the left for direct access to public login information.  To access individual contact and financial information, enter your child's personal password on that page.

    Please email Mr. Behrens if you need your child's password reset. 

    Also remember that in addition to managing student finances, we utilize CHARMS to record all playing assessment exams.  If you have a smartphone, there is a Charms App as well.  (Android, iPhone, iPad).

    How to access parent/student information on CHARMS

     

    ·      Log on to www.charmsoffice.com, and click the “ENTER/LOG IN” link at upper right.

    ·      Locate the “PARENT/STUDENT/MEMBERS LOGIN” section of the web page.

    ·      Login to your child’s program account using the following School Code:

     

    beloitmemhsband

    ·      This will bring up the main parent page.  This will allow you to look at the “public” calendar for your organization, event list, handouts and other files.

    ·      Clicking on an event on the calendar brings up the details for that event, such as times, attendance requirements, volunteer opportunities, and other event details.  Note that if a calendar event is specifically assigned to your child, it may NOT show up on this calendar – check the “Student” calendar after entering the student’s ID number (see below).

    ·      When you enter your child’s ID NUMBER (provided by your Director) as a Student Area Password, another more detailed screen appears with even more options to view your student’s uniform assignments, music assignments, financial records, forms and inventory.  Once you have first entered this ID number, you may create your own, unique password by clicking on the “lock”   (Change Password) icon.

    ·      Two areas in which you can help the director maintain his/her records:

    o   Update Personal Information – if the director has allowed it, you  may help make changes to your child’s student information page (such as updating phone numbers and email addresses if they change) to help the teacher communicate with you more effectively. Click the Personal Info button.

    o   If your program has setup online payments, you can make credit card payments for fees, trips and deposits to your student’s account.  If credit card payment is activated, you will see blue buttons in the four main areas of the financial statement indicating your ability to make online payments.

    ·      You will also see links to enter Practice Logs, view Grades, and use the Recording Studio if the teacher has enabled these options.

    ·      Most importantly, the parent page assists both you and the teacher to communicate with each other.  Stay up to date on what’s going on with your student!
