Do you find yourself spending valuable hours manually managing your virtual classrooms in Google Classroom? Discover how two powerful scripts can revolutionize your teaching workflow by allowing you to automate the bulk creation and deletion of classes with just a few clicks. This technological solution is ideal for both academic coordinators and teachers who manage multiple groups.
Automate Class Creation at the Beginning of the School Year
Forget the repetitive process of creating classrooms one by one each academic year. Our first script turns this tedious task into an instant process:
Key features: Create hundreds of classrooms in minutes, personalize titles according to your naming scheme, automatically assign sections Benefits for teachers: Reduces manual entry errors, standardizes configurations, prepares the entire academic ecosystem before the first day of class Necessary preparations: Prepare your list of classes in CSV or Google Sheets format, maintaining consistent names (e.g., “Math 8A-2025,” “Advanced History Group 3”) 🔗 Access the Bulk Creation Script
Smart Management at the End of the Academic Period
The second script solves the chaos of semester closures by providing three strategic options:
Archive Mode: Preserve all your academic material by eliminating visual clutter without losing historical data Controlled Abandonment: Neatly withdraw from classes you no longer manage while maintaining student integrity Total Deletion: Permanently delete obsolete classrooms (recommended use only for drafts or tests) ⚠️ Critical Precaution: Always back up and double-check before performing bulk deletions. These actions are not reversible through the standard interface. 🔗 Download the Bulk Cleanup Script
