Welcome to Charms !

The Grandview Thundering Herd uses a program called Charms. This program is designed to help keep everyone informed about everything from student travel account balances, instrument inventory, schedules and upcoming events, and even tracks volunteers and trip chaperones. Students will even be able to complete their practice records and summit them through Charms. Charms allows the directors to send emails to every parent by group, or class, and keep track of your child’s finances (trip and fees records) within the band, plus much more. To start we need everyone to login and finish setting up your account . You will follow the steps below:

GO TO www.charmsoffice.com

***Under the section marked Parent/Students/Members you will put…grandviewbands

***Then where it says Student Area password you will put in your students School ID

***This will take you to a page where you can change your password

***After you have changed your password, it will take you to your child’s homepage. We need everyone to go to the Update Info icon and fill out all of the information. If you change emails or phone numbers it is easy to update the info that changed.

As we get everyone entered we will update student finances, ensemble assignment...we hope to have Charms operational before school is out.

Only 11 rehersal days to UIL Region- every rehersal matters !

Weekly plan: Feb 19
