** How do you delete a page? ** First we must archive the page - archived pages cannot be seen by the public or by the owner of the website. Then if you really want to delete it ~ you can.
So lets begin by go to the main page of your classroom website;
 * To Archive a Page:**
 * hover your mouse over "**Page Properties**"
 * scroll down and click on "Manage Sub-Pages"
 * Select "Page Status"
 * in the new window, click in the square next to "Contact Me" then select Archive


 * To Delete a Page:**
 * Once the page has been archived
 * hover over "**Page Properties**"
 * scroll down and click on Archived Sub-Pages
 * in the new window - click on the "X" button next to the sub-page you wish to delete (**Contact Me**).

//**Your "Contact Me" page should now be gone! Repeat this step for any page that you'd like to archive or delete.**//



You will see the standard word-processing tool bar across the top of your editing window; add content
