πŸ“Œ Actions Coaches & Admins Can Take After Finding a Student

βœ… Create a Private Note – Post a note in the student’s private notes tab and tag the student's coach or relevant team members.
βœ… Recommend a Goal – Suggest a personal goal, badge, app, mentor, or sub-community.
βœ… Engage with the Student – Comment on the student's activity stream or posts.

If a student is assigned to another coach, tag the coach using @"coachname" when posting or making recommendations to ensure they are aware of the interaction.
