I think you should teach them that it is "waiter" for a man and "waitress" for a woman.
There is no point saying things like "server" or "wait-person" since these are not used in real life. If they say "wait-person" in a restaurant the waiter/waitress either won't know they are calling them or will simply find it weird.
I usually just raise my hand slightly or say "excuse me", this will negate the need to address them by a name.

I think most restaurants now use the term "server".
