Job Summary
Inly School is seeking Bus Monitors for the 2026-2027 academic year. A bus monitor plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and well-being of students during their bus rides to and from school. The primary responsibility of the bus monitor is to provide supervision and assistance to the students while they are on the bus. The bus monitor is also the direct connection between Inly students and the school.

Student Supervision: The bus monitor is responsible for supervising students as they board the bus, ensuring that they follow safety protocols, and maintaining order during the ride. This includes assisting students with getting on and off the bus, helping them find seats, and ensuring that they remain seated and well-behaved during the ride.

The bus monitor should relay important information to students, assist with communication between the driver and students and report any issues or incidents to the appropriate school teachers/leaders.

-
Attendance: Keeping track of student attendance as they board and exit the bus is important for ensuring all students are accounted for and safely transported.
