Cleaning up your Google Classroom(s) - End of Year

As we close out the 2019-2020 school year, we have a few suggestions for cleaning up your Google Classroom.

1. Make sure you "return" all assignments to students. Remember they will not see your comments until you return them. You may also want to add the school year 2019-2020 to the title to refer back to it.
2. Decide if you want students to have access to your Classroom during the summer.
• If yes, turn off all comments and posts by students, so they are not unsupervised. Students will have access until you remove them or until you archive the class.
• If no, archive your old class. By archiving, you will clean up your homepage for next year, but you will still be able to “reuse” all your assignments. Students will no longer have access to that Classroom.
  
  
3. Another option is to make a copy of your Classroom. This copies over all assignments as Drafts. If you added "Questions", those will not copy over. Members of your Classroom will not see assignments until they are "assigned". 
   
   
4. Google Classroom adds a class calendar to your Google Calendar. Now is the time to also remove that old class from Google Calendar. For instructions, click here.

**** There will be plenty of offerings all summer long, continue to check TeachPoint, and the HUB for for tips, and ways to stay current with GSuite and more.

Important Addition to your End of Year Grade Posting

Withdrawn Students -- IMPORTANT --- Check all classes

During the school year, you may have had students who withdrew from your class. These are a special case and it is important to set their grade as W before Posting grades.

1. See a list of students who have withdrawn from the class section by clicking on the Withdrawn Status button (shown right).
2. For each student found in the list, add the final grade (FG) of W for withdrawn (see below). Adding this W will allow Aspen to not report the student as being in your class. If a student changed sections during the year, they will recieve their grades from that other section.
