BW Community Education: Summer 2026
Starting this fall, we will no longer be mailing printed community education catalogs.
Community education class offerings and youth sports opportunities will continue to be listed on the district website via the Online Purchasing Center and the Community Education Webpage. However, instead of a mailed catalog, offerings will be shared via e-newsletters like this one. Newsletters will automatically be sent to families with students enrolled in the district. If you are not already receiving our newsletters via email (if you don't have a student currently enrolled in the district) and wish to have our newsletter emailed to you, please sign up below to be added to our newsletter email list to stay connected and updated on community education and youth sports opportunities.
Newsletters will also be posted on the Community Education Webpage and the B-W Community Education Facebook Page to be viewed at anytime.
Help us spread the word!
