M2 Payments |
|
We still have TWO Lafayette Band Families who owe payment for their student’s M2 lessons. It is imperative that these payments are turned in so that we may provide payment to our very talented and dedicated instructors. If payment is not provided, these students will not be able to participate in the M2 program in the future. |
Cheese and Sausage Money Due |
|
The following five students owe Cheese and Sausage money. This money must be turned in after school on Thursday. Please bring to Liz Booth in the Band Room before dressing for Picture Day.

Family Payment Agreements |
|
PLEASE NOTE: Family payments form the basis of the annual budget and our instructors and staff rely on us for their earned pay. However, we are unable to provide payment because many families have not completed the agreement. Family payments for 2016-2017 are $1,100 and were due in August – or an additional late payment of $150 for the “deferred payment schedule” was added per the payment agreement. For those who have not paid, or are behind in their payments, please be responsible – others are relying on you. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Mr. Smith at chuck.smith@fayette.kyschools.us or 859-396-3311 for a confidential payment arrangement. |
Charms Database |
|
The Lafayette Band uses Charms, a web-based organizational software system to track student contact information, financial statements, email communication, and more. To log into Charms, go to www.charmsoffice.com. Click “Enter” on the top menu and click “Parents/Students/Members” on the dropdown list. Login using the school code “lhsband” and enter your student ID/password. If you need your student ID, please contact Liz Booth at lafayettebandaccounts@gmail.com. The student ID is assigned by Charms and is a combination of letters and numbers. If your student has an outstanding balance, you will receive a monthly financial statement. The monthly payments will be billed individually in the Fixed Payment ledger. Amounts received that are less than the billed fixed payment amount will be temporarily stored in the Miscellaneous ledger. When the amount in the Miscellaneous ledger is sufficient to pay a monthly payments, we can transfer the amount to the appropriate fixed payment. Band payments may be paid by cash, check, credit card or money order. Checks and money orders should be made payable to “LBA” (please note the student’s name) and mail to: Lafayette Band Association |
