Today, we’re proud to introduce a bold new visual identity for BFW Publishers, one that reflects not only who we are today, but the future we’re building alongside educators and learners to help inspire what’s possible. This is about more than a new logo. It’s a signal of how far we’ve come and how far we plan to go. It’s a visible signal of our continued evolution from a company that puts words on paper to one that provides digital, student-centered learning experiences. We’ve expanded what we offer and how we show up, creating partnerships, addressing critical learning challenges, and offering tools, platforms and services that drive learning wherever and however it takes place. Our new logo was designed to reflect the growth and energy of learning — how it expands, changes, comes into focus, connects people, and creates opportunity. The bright, digital-first colors reflect our optimism for the future of education, the possibilities for learners and the energy and momentum behind everything we are building. This new identity is built for the digital landscape. It is distinctive, flexible, and a powerful expression of our company whether in an app, on a learning platform, or on a product. We believe this identity clarifies what makes BFW Publishers’ story unique. We are a learning company — research-driven, outcomes-focused, and committed to helping students succeed by supporting them and the teachers who guide them. It captures what we know to be true, which is that learning is dynamic and as limitless as it is deeply human. The bright colors reflect our optimism for the future and the energy and momentum felt across every part of our business. In the coming weeks, you’ll see our new look across our sites, platforms, and products. Despite these exciting shifts, what won’t change is our mission: to inspire what’s possible for every learner. This moment is about more than design. It’s about what the design represents — and the belief that, together, we can shape a future where all students feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive. Thank you for being part of this journey.

To our Valued Customers:
While our Customer Experience team is working through the queue of support requests, here are two important resources that may be helpful in the interim:
Course content for students: Please complete this brief form for you and your students to receive interim access to your adopted BFW title(s). Given the complexity of most cases, our team is currently fulfilling requests to offer access to several chapters of textbook content to support classrooms until their regular service is restored. Requests submitted through the above form will be responded to within 24-hours, M-F, and within 48 hours for requests submitted over the weekend.
Teacher resource materials: Security of teacher resources (including answer keys) is a priority. Therefore, the most secure, efficient way to access teacher resources is via our LaunchPad and SaplingPlus learning platforms.
Already have access? Look here in LaunchPad or here in SaplingPlus for how to access your complete teacher resources.
If you do not already have access to these LaunchPad or SaplingPlus, please tell us what product you require.
We know that awaiting the resolution of your support case is frustrating, and we sincerely apologize. Please know that each support case is being handled as quickly as possible. While we have additional Customer Experience professionals on board to help work through the queue, multiple submissions of the same issue create duplicate cases that further slow the resolution process and timeline. We hope that the above short-term solutions are helpful while your case is being resolved.
Best,
Phoenix Harvey
Director or Marketing, BFW High School Publishers

As teachers, administrators, parents, and the communities prepared instructional delivery plans for fall in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, BFW asked teachers a few questions about how those plans were shaping up. More than 5,500 teachers from more than 1,000 schools across all fifty states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico responded to the survey between July 27 and August 7, 2020. Check out the infographic below to see the results!
