Charms Set up

Using Charms

Charms will become our go to point of contact with Parents for Forms, Volunteering, Calendar info, Band notes, and Finances.

Charms Financial Statement (Student Account)
Trip – Tracks invoices and payments related to trips.
Fixed Payments – Tracks band assessments and instrument rental fees.
Fundraising – Tracks all the student’s fundraising transactions.
Miscellaneous Balance (Student Account Balance) – Holds all fundraising profits as well as any miscellaneous payments.
Store Balance – This is displayed if you have purchased an item through the online store and still owe money.
Total Balance – The sum of the Trip, Fixed, Fundraising, and Store balances due, less the Miscellaneous Balance (aka Student Account). This is simply a “view” of how much is owed.
