Summary
Archiving a class makes it inaccessible to students. You can still view assignments and statistics, but the class will be unavailable to students.
We automatically archive classrooms every summer to help teachers ease the transition into the new school year. We provide warning email notifications before our automatic archiving each summer, and teachers can always reverse the automatic archiving if they want to continue using a class.
Why archive a class?
When a school year ends, archiving a class and creating a new class for the next school year is much easier than removing students and adding new ones to the same class.
Archiving and recreating allow you to reference past class data to analyze patterns from the past for future classes and is a best practice for record keeping.
