What you need to do: Your day begins early as you prepare the bus for the morning route, conducting pre-trip inspections to ensure it is in optimal condition. You will then transport students along a preplanned route, ensuring careful driving while adhering to traffic regulations and school board policies. Your responsibility for student safety will be paramount as you instruct children on safety precautions and assist them with boarding and exiting the bus.

You will maintain order and discipline while providing a welcoming environment, reporting any unruly behavior to authorities. After completing the morning route, you will return the bus to the designated area and prepare for the afternoon commute, where you will once again ensure every student reaches their destination safely.

If you're ready to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students, we invite you to complete our initial 3-minute, mobile-friendly application today.
