My daughter is in high school.  First time riding the bus (she walked to middle school).  Are gifts to the school bus driver okay at the high school level for the holidays?

Sure, if your daughter feels comfortable giving it to the bus driver.

 

Some gifts in the past I gave to my kids bus drivers were Prindables apples,

candy, bath and body soap and hand towels in a nice gift bag.

 

I'm sure it would be appreciated!

I'm sure that a small token of appreciation would be welcomed!

I agree -- a gift card would be best.

I don't think many high schoolers give bus drivers a gift.  It stops after elementary school.  If you want to give a gift I would suggest a gift card that could be handed over discreetly so as not to embarrass your daughter.

DD was in special ed so always took the bus.  I always gave them something because we had wonderful drivers (for the most part) and I so appreciated them.  Usually a gift card.  One year I got home from work and there was a message from her bus driver thanking me so much because nobody ever thinks of them during the holidays.

High school students give gifts to bus drivers, and no discretion is necessary,

not one here to give out gifts all over the place, but drivers I think have a difficult job with huge responsibilities a gift is fine

 

I would go with coffee or good gift cards

Gift cards are always welcome. Local grocery store or sandwich shop.
