How much should I give? I can't give too much but don't want to be cheap.

My husband is a bus driver, upstate. He gets anything between $5 and $100. I believe in Brooklyn the rate is more.

$10-$15 is ok for bus driver.
Last year we were very satisfied with driver and he was VERY nice to us, we gave $25.
This year we're not that satisfied and we didn't tip.
For Morahs I do $30-$40 for morah and assistant, same amount. I'd give $50 if budget and husband were okay with it but since that's not the case we give $30-$40 with a nice card expressing appreciation.
(If there's in person PTA I may bring a small treat for the morah and a handmade note from child, but only if it works out. We did not have in person PTA this year. )

Wow, I read your last sentence like this, I usually bring something homemade by the child.
Oh no, please not.
My sister is a Morah for nursery girls. A mother sent her a homemade rumballs. She was proud to say that her nursery Daughter 'made it herself.
Into the garbage it went immediately...

The treat isn't homeade, the note is. I don't ever give any homeade food to anyone except for my mom or siblings. The treat would be like a small box of high end chocolate or whatever.

My kids are past bus stage now, and I'm not in Lakewood.
But given all of the extra issues and uncertainties this year due to covid, I'd give an extra $5 to the bus driver if you can.
