(The quotes are for emphasis only for the purpose of this explanation.  Do not use them when you create your account name).  For security reasons, this web site will not recognize handles such as "bandstudent08" or "kjones."  New account submissions are reviewed by the Webmaster and typically approved within 24 hours.  If you continue to experience problems, contact the Webmaster.

CHARMS Web Site

Submitted by Kathleen Moy on Tue, 08/26/2008 - 9:10pm.

ALL BAND STUDENTS

Please create your account on the CHARMS web site.  This site is an administrative tool used by the band directors to manage student enrollment information.  It is a separate site from the Booster Band web site you are currently reading! Handouts, forms, assignments, and calendar events will be posted to this resource. However, all information about Band events and McKinney ISD's Fine Arts program will stay up-to-date on this Booster site. Registration on CHARMS also allows the directors to send E-mail announcements to you. Putting in this information will be the student's first official grade. See the attached instructions on how to input information into the Charms website.
