This yr. I feel that I need to tip one of my children's bus drivers. I would prefer to give something as an end of the yr. gift but realize that the bus driver would probably appreciate acknowledgement now. What is a decent amount or should it be a gift card? $5 - $10- $20?

And the mailman ..... he has complained to me that he has a hard time getting to my mailbox due to cars blocking .... good time to tip. How much??

TIA!!

I am giving the bus drivers and matrons a small gift ($5-$7). There are different ones for morning and afternoon so I have 4 to give (besides for the other teachers/therapists...)

I think it depends on what you can afford and how much you rely on these people. To me, the bus driver is one of the most important people. His job was to get my kids safely to and form school regardless of traffic or weather. I only had one driver for all of my kids. I tipped him $100 at Xmas and $200 at the end of the year. I cannot think of a better person to spend my money on. I do not tip my mailman or newspaper delivery person.
