EOY Google Classroom Tips
For tidying up so that beginning next year is easy!
As you are wrapping up the end of the year...
Removing Students from Your Class
1. If you want to use the class as a shell for your classes next year, you don't want previous students to receive notifications if they are no longer in your class.
2. This also removes their grades from the grade book and assignments
3. This doesn't erase student work from their class folders in Google Drive, so they can still hold on to their own work for the future and/or to build their portfolios.
4. If you don't remove a student before you archive a class, the student cannot remove themselves willingly after it is archived.
You definitely do not HAVE to remove students before you archive, but these are just some things to consider.
Archiving Your Classes: Do's, Don'ts, and Considerations
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 when you archive a 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.
- Students can’t unenroll from an archived class. This can limit how students can manage the classes they’re done taking.
- 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. For instructions, go to Delete or unsubscribe from a calendar.
- Note: An archived class stays in Classroom until you delete it. That’s why an archived class’s calendar still shows in your Google Calendar.
Deleting a Class
Again, this is not required or necessary, but if you are someone that likes to be done when you are done with things, you may want to consider it.
Delete a calendar
- On your computer, open Google Calendar.
- In the top right, click Settings Settings.
- In the left column, find the calendar you want to delete.
- Click the name of the calendar.
- Click Remove calendar Delete Delete permanently.
Organizing Your Classwork
This may seem tedious right now, but I promise you it will be so helpful to you next year.
Remember that you can reuse any posts from archived classes by using the "Reuse post" feature when you create assignments in the future!

Adjusting Your Notifications
Go to Classroom Settings
Ta-Da! No more email notifications!
