Preparing for the School Year in Everfi

Each school year in Everfi includes an implementation period. This period helps you begin with a clean dashboard while maintaining access to your previous classes and instructional data.

School year dates may change over time. The dates listed in this article reflect the 2026 school‑year timeline.

What the Implementation Period Means

At the end of each school year, Everfi transitions into a new school year. During this transition:

• Classes from the previous school year are archived and removed from My Classes
• Students see completed work from the prior year in Past Courses instead of Current Courses
• The Gradebook continues to store assessment data from previous school years

This process keeps your dashboard organized while preserving important records.

How the Annual School Year Transition Works

While specific dates may vary each year, the school year typically follows the same structure. For the 2026 timeline:

• The school year ends on June 26
• The new school year begins on June 27
• From June 27 through July 31, you can reactivate eligible classes from the previous school year
• After July 31, class reactivation is no longer available

Creating New Classes After the School Year Ends

When the school year ends:

• Classes from the prior school year do not carry over automatically
• Teachers can reactivate eligible classes during the implementation period
• After the reactivation window closes, teachers must create new classes

Creating new classes ensures student enrollment, progress tracking, and reporting align with the current school year.

What Can Be Reactivated

Most standard Everfi classes can be reactivated during the implementation period.

If a course has been updated with a new version, you may be required to create a new class instead of reactivating a previous one. Updated courses must be added to newly created classes.

Accessing Data From Previous School Years

Even if a class cannot be reactivated:

• You can still view assessment scores from previous school years in Gradebook
• Students can still access completed coursework in Past Courses
• Your instructional history remains available for reference and reporting

Best Practice

Archiving does not remove your data. It simply removes classes from active use.  Reviewing archived classes and Gradebook information before creating new classes can help you plan instruction and maintain accurate records for the current school year.
