For those new to the Pride, Charms is a student management software used by the bands to manage student accounts, uniforms, inventory, communication, etc., in all areas of the band program. All Pride members for 2021 have been pre-registered in Charms. To log in, visit www.CharmsOffice.com, use the parent log in tab and the school code â€œbrokenarrowbandâ€. The initial log in password is your studentâ€™s ID number. If you have forgotten your password, please email Lisa Good at lsgood@baschools.org to have it reset. Please also update the profile information for you and your students. Students should have their own email address. See this informative sheet for new Charms users.
