The Charms Office Assistant is a full-featured office assistant that the Orange Park Band organization utilizes to keep track of our student and parent information such as email addresses, phone numbers, chaperones, instruments and lots more. It enables you and our organization to know what forms you have turned in, what fees you have paid, to communicate by email, and many other functions.

If you need help using Charms, checkout our Charms How To powerpoint!
