Bulk Archiving Classes for Suspended Primary Teachers

Learn how to manage classes with suspended teachers using Bulk Actions. We recommend archiving classes with suspended teachers to maintain organization and compliance. With Bulk actions, you can swiftly archive classes with suspended primary teachers, ensuring smooth operations within your educational environment.

What Happens to an Archived Class?

• Archiving a class removes it from teachers’ and students’ Classroom homepage. The class moves to a separate area to preserve class materials, student work, and posts. 
• Teachers and students can still view an archived class. The teacher can restore the class to use again.
• Teachers and students can access class materials for an archived class within the Google Drive folder.
• Students can’t unenroll from an archived class.
• Google Calendar retains the class calendar for teachers and students. Users can remove the calendar from view or permanently delete it.
• An archived class stays in Google Classroom unless the primary teacher deletes it.
