If we have Spanish speaking children in our program and on the buses, the Family Worker would give the driver and monitor a booklet with the most common words used in English & Spanish. For example: Good Morning and then the Spanish saying with how to say it. As for the parents, most know the common Good Morning, Bye, etc.
