    This is to inform you that Pinellas County Schools made the necessary changes to the delivery of interoffice mail (Pony) effective April 5, 2021.

    As you are well aware, the use of email and other forms of electronic transmission of materials such as Microsoft Office OneDrive have led us to become less and less reliant on the hand delivery of interoffice mail.  The volume of mail being sent through the Pony has steadily decreased to the point that some sites have nearly ceased using the service.

    In an effort to maximize efficiency, and in response to the general decline in the use of the Pony, changes to the Pony delivery model are necessary.

    A summary of the changes to Pony delivery are:

    PCS District Schools

    • Current service schedule – four times per week
    • New service schedule – once every three days

    Charter Schools

    • Current service schedule – once per week
    • New service schedule – once every three weeks

    Administrative Sites

    • Delivery – four times per week to Walter Pownall and Bernice Johnson

    Locations with more than one Pony drop

    • Hollins HS and Hollins Adult – condense to one drop at Hollins HS front office
    • Ozona ES and Ozona SC – condense to one drop at Ozona ES front office
    • Bayside HS, Bayside SC, Bayside Virtual Schools – condense to one drop at Bayside HS front office
    • Pinellas Gulf Coast Academy and Coachman SC – condense to one drop at Pinellas Gulf Coast Academy front office
    • Enterprise Village and Stavros Education Foundation – condense to one drop at Stavros front office

    Locations where delivery will cease

    AMI Kids Pinellas Park

    PACE Center for Girls

    St. Pete Science Center

    PONY MAIL GUIDELINES
     
    Address
    • Please include name and location in both To and From addresses. For example, To: John Smith, Bayside High School From: Jane Smith Warehouse WPSC. If mail is not addressed properly it will delay delivery or be returned to sender. Please use black or blue ink only when hand writing addresses.
    • The Administration Building does not have a route number. When addressing mail to someone in the Administration Building put the person's name, department and Administration Building on the To line. For example, John Doe, Accounting, Administration Building.
    Labels
    If you use labels please do not include the To and From on the same label. Use a separate label for each. Please place the label on the next available line. Please do not waste space.
     
    Large Mailings
    If you are sending out a large mailing to various centers, please separate the envelopes by pony route. Please put a rubber band around each bundle. For deliveries that are too large to fit in normal pony envelopes, please use the instructions for Delivery Truck to send your packages.
     
    Do not send Food, Cash, Personal Items, or Lottery Tickets through the Pony Mail
