Charms email issue
We learned this past week that Charms is sending out only 100 emails every 24 hours. It is a glitch they are trying to fix. That is why people are getting the emails from Mr. Carr late and many not until the following day. We are going to be using this email list, Remind texts, and our band calendar until we are sure all emails are getting sent properly out of Charms. Sorry for the hassle, we are anxious to get this resolved. Please be sure you are signed up and watching all forms of communications. Any questions, email communications@lakotawestbands.org.

All parents and guardians of band students grades 7-12 are welcome to attend! Meeting will start at 7:30pm at the Freshman Building in the band room and run appx one hour. This first meeting of the year may run longer. Come out to see what is ahead and get your questions answered.
