tipping school bus driver?

Can anyone shed some light as to how much I should tip the school bus driver. I have 2 kids on the bus, this is their first year on it. I will tip again at the end of the school year. thanks.

I am giving mine a $10 gift card to dunkin donuts. I have 2 kids and another lady at the bus stop with 2 kids is doing the same.

I'm sure they are.. but even if it is 'discouraged', I don't think they'd return a card with cash in it!

We drive our kids to school and the after care driver is a total CREEP. Seriously. I will never tip that man. If he were good, I would give him money.

We have the same driver each morning for the past few years... He is wonderful. We give him a GC for $15-20 at Christmas for a place like McDonalds, Dunkin Donuts, etc.

I'm still torn on the afternoon driver. My DS tells me its always a different driver! They must rotate based on days so I have no clue what to do!
