WBR HR TeamBack to TopQ:Can I apply for a job if I am currently enrolled in an approved alternate teaching certification program?A:Hi Karlee,

Yes- please do apply. We hire teachers on practitioner's licenses. Be sure to upload your acceptance letter into the application.

I hope this helps.

WBR HR TeamBack to TopQ:Hi, I am attempting to respond to emails sent from Ms. West and they are being blocked and sent back. How can I respond to emails sent from this system?A:Hi Leslie,

It looks like you are attempting to send responses back to emails that are sent to you from our system. That is why they are being sent back to you and you are being blocked. You would have to have a specific email address of the WBR HR staff person to email back to respond and not try to send it through the system. I hope this makes sense.

If you have any questions at all about the application process, please email Barbara.burke@wbrschools.net or dawn.doucet@wbrschools.net.

Thank you and have a fantastic afternoon!!Back to TopQ:How do I create an account so that I can put in an application?A:Hi Pamela,

You can apply at this link. I hope this helps.
