Your 'Classes' workspace can become very cluttered with old classes. Why not archive them to cut the clutter and make your current classes easier to access? Here are some tips to help you clean up your Google Classrooms:

• Return all student work.

• Organize your Drive folder - declutter.

• Clear class calendars.

• When you’re done teaching a class, you can archive it. When a class is archived, it’s archived for all students and teachers in the class. If you don’t archive a class, students and teachers in the class continue to see it on their Classes page.

• What happens to an archived class?

  • It’s placed in a separate area to preserve the class materials, student work, and posts. You won’t see it with your active classes on the Classes page.

  • You and your students can view an archived class. To use the class again, you have to restore it.

  • You and your students can still access any class materials in Google Drive. That includes any attachments for assignments or other student work.

  • The class calendar remains in your Google Calendar and in your students' calendars. If you no longer need the class, you can remove its calendar from view, or delete it permanently.  

  • An archived class stays in Classroom until you delete it.
