Community

Join the PTO!

The PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) at CPES is made up of parents and teachers who want to work together to make a difference in the school and community. The number one reason to join PTO at CPES is to support your school and your students. This PTO is dedicated to making CPES the best environment for educating students that it can be. The goal is to enrich our children’s elementary school experience through support of the teachers, parents, community members and children. We work to strengthen CPES by hosting events, facilitating communication, volunteering time, and by raising funds to support the school’s educational activities. Email cpespto2@gmail.com.

Returned Check Policy

Your check is welcome! The Shelby County School System recognizes that occasionally a parent may inadvertently overdraw a checking account and a check may be returned by your bank. In order to recover these funds in a private and professional manner, the Shelby County School System has contracted with CHECKredi Payment Services, for collection of returned checks.

Checks should be written on a commercially printed check with your name, address and contact telephone number. When a person writes a check to a school or the School System, he or she agrees that, if the check is returned for any reason, it may be presented electronically on the same account, and that the Service Fee for returned checks established by law, may be debited from the same account. If three or more checks from the same family are returned from the bank, CPES will require cash or money order for any future payments.

If the check and fee are not collected electronically, CHECKredi will contact the check writer by mail and/or telephone to make payment arrangements. All payments and inquiries need to be made directly to CHECKredi by contacting them at 1-800-239-1222.
