    hi
  • Charms Info

    As of the fall of 2014, we are starting to use a new program to help with paperwork and ease of communication.

    Charms Office Assistant

    This is a program created for band directors and other music teachers and is used around the country.

    This year, my goals for using this program include:

    1) student/parent information for ease of creating mailing labels and email lists

    2) student account information accessible online

    3) calendar and parent volunteer sign-ups online

    Let's Get Started...

    Go to: www.charmsoffice.com

    Log in as a student/parent.  

    Our School Code is: ESHSSBand

    Your student area password is your Student ID number.

    See videos below for more information.  (I'm not very tech smart, but I'm trying!)
