Hello Everyone!


The report time (which, by the way has been announced for 5 days in class... just sayin' kids..)

You may bring your own hat and gloves, which we will hide right before we step off.  You may wear some layers underneath your uniform, but no sweat shirts, hoodies, or jeans!

ok.. see you there!

Charms/student accounts

Here's how to get into your student accounts.....

www.charmsoffice.com
click Enter/Login
click Parents/students/members on that drop down
Howellhsband is your School Code
Student Area Password is your students Howell High School number. Your student most likely knows this. Or, it can be found on your progress report, or report cards.
Now you can check on their finances. How much is in their account. Print a form to request that money be moved out of Charms account to pay for Boston, music lessons etc. If it's music lessons or music items please include a receipt. If it's Boston, and it's the first payment, please have ALL of your information filled out for Boston. Turn this in together so we can keep track of who's going to Boston, and how you've paid. We will then turn over to the treasurer to have the funds transfered properly. If you have any questions about using Charms, please contact Christyne MacDermaid christynemacdermaid@gmail.com, or 734-476-0312.

Pasta is sorted in the band room and ready to be picked up. Popcorn should be sorted and ready sometime next week.

Senior Show Video?

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone or their parents recorded the half time show of the last home game / Senior Show. My recording didn't come out and I would like to document the show in my portfolio. If anyone has a copy - could you please send it to me via email at: thejadegecko@gmail.com

It's been an awesome season guys -I can't wait to grow with the program! Already got big plans for next year!

Thanks,

Nicole / Jade
