Bus Monitor (Chaperone)

Job Summary 

Under the general supervision of the Director of Operations, the Bus Monitor will accompany students in grades K–10 to and from designated CCA bus stops. This role is critical to the safety, supervision, and spiritual encouragement of our students during transit. Monitors will ride morning and/or afternoon routes, ensuring a secure environment and modeling Christ-like behavior. A heart for ministry and a passion for nurturing students is essential. The Bus Monitor must have a strong, active, and committed relationship with Jesus Christ, a willingness to lead with a humble heart, a passion for Christian education, and a calling to serve at Cornerstone Christian Academy. He or she will seek to perform all duties as unto the Lord, relying on the Holy Spirit for guidance, and completing all tasks with excellence.

While we welcome interest from all members of the CCA community, the ideal bus monitor is someone who is already traveling to and from school each day — such as a current staff or faculty member as there is no extra commute required.
