• Communicate professionally with school administrators, teachers, and parents regarding transportation schedules, delays, or any concerns, serving as a reliable ambassador of SR1 CPSA’s mission and values.
• Assist students in safely boarding and exiting the bus; provide help to young children or those with special needs to ensure their comfort and security.
