No, only school account administrators can create a class that does not show any progress made by the students in previous ones. They do this by selecting 'Student progress' when creating the new class.
If your students are repeating the course, progress tracking will start again.
Teachers linked to a school account can ask a current administrator to grant them admin access or to create a progress reset class on their behalf.
Please note: If you are an independent teacher and would like to have access to this option, please join or create a school account.
