  Hello,
  I use wordpress for my classroom blog. I am currently trying to figure out how to ‘archive’ posts from previous years so that my new students only see posts pertaining to their class.
  How can I do this?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I would use the technique of category pages. Create a category for your current class and feature that in your menu.

  See Category pages: https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/view-all/

  And Custom Menu: https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

  If you want to also list your archived posts, you can use the archive widget ( https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/archives-widget/ ) or create an archive page and use an archive shortcode to list your archived posts. (https://en.support.wordpress.com/archives-shortcode/)

  This will not hide your previous posts but it will focus the site on your current class.
