*Charms Information:
Charms- Every student will be given a charms account. Charms may be accessed at www.charmsoffice.com. Our school code is EVHSChoir which is case sensitive. The direct link to charms is https://www.charmsoffice.com/charms/parents.asp?username=EVHSChoir. Students are able to see their choir financial accounts, sign forms, see uniform numbers, volunteer, purchase certain items and more.
This is how you log in to charms....
Log on to www.charmsoffice.com, and click “ENTER / LOG IN” in the upper right corner.
Locate the “PARENT/STUDENT/MEMBERS LOGIN” section of the web page.
Login to your student’s program account using the following School Code:
___________EVHSChoir________________
This will bring up the main “Public” page. This will allow you to look at the “public” calendar for your organization, event list, and handouts and other “publicly shared” files, as well as a few other options.
Whenever you enter using this Username/password, another more detailed screen appears, with various button options for you to access areas in the Charms account. What appears here is partially up to the Account Administrator or Head Director.
Two areas in which you can help the director/administrator maintain his/her records:
Update Personal Information – if the director has allowed it, you may help make changes to your and your child’s student information page (such as updating phone numbers / cell carriers and email addresses if they change) to help them communicate with you more effectively. You may also be able to indicate which parent volunteer/resource groups you would like to participate in, if this feature is activated. Click Update Info to save changes.
If your program has set up online credit card payments, you can make credit card payments for items in the online store.
The Calendar may list events, rehearsals, and volunteer/RSVP opportunities. Click on calendar, find the date of the event, click on the hand and sign up to donate items or volunteer.
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!
You can also download the Charms App to your smartphone – search your App Store for “Charms Parent/Student Portal” (or “Charms Blue”). It’s the way to stay in touch on the go!
If you or your student is unable to access charms or forgets their password, please send Mrs. R an email and a new link will be sent to you.
