#### **🗓 Parent-Teacher Appointments (PTA)** *Best for schools with 20+ teachers*

Parents log in and see only the teachers their child has a class with — no scrolling through irrelevant names. This is our full-featured conference scheduling product for larger schools.

#### **🗓 Parent-Teacher Appointments — Simple PTA** *Best for schools with 20 or fewer teachers*

A streamlined version where parents choose from a list of all teachers at the school. Teacher-student relationships don't need to be pre-configured, making setup fast and simple.

#### **📋 Roster Scheduling** *Best for program sign-ups without a specific time slot*

Participants register for a program or event rather than booking a particular time. Ideal for recurring programs and ongoing enrollments.
