• Maintain Safety: Monitor the bus environment to ensure all students remain seated and safe while in motion.
• Community Connection: Build positive rapport with students, acting as a helpful guide during their daily commute.
• Team Collaboration: Partner with our drivers to manage the bus environment effectively and professionally.

What We're Looking For
