Course stories

Stories are what the school shares with a family — a note, an announcement, a document, a report card. They're grouped by where they came from, so a whole-school announcement never buries a message about one child.

Course stories screen grouped into courses, class, school and personal stories with counts
Plate 47 Stories. Each row carries its story count, and courses with nothing yet say so rather than disappearing.

The four groups

GroupHolds
CoursesOne row per enrolled course, with the teacher and how many stories they've shared.
ClassHomeroom-level messages for the student's class group.
SchoolWhole-school announcements.
Personal storiesShared with this student alone — the Just for Victoria row. Dispatched report cards land here.

Why grouping matters

The grouping mirrors the scopes the office publishes at, so the shape of the screen tells a parent who a message was meant for. A course row means a teacher wrote to that class; a personal row means someone wrote about their child.

Empty is stated, not hidden

A course with nothing shared reads No stories yet and keeps its place in the list — so a parent can tell the difference between a quiet course and a missing one.
