#### A teacher is being replaced by a long-term substitute — how do I update this for parents?

If all of a teacher's classes are transferring to a new teacher, reassign them directly:

1. Go to **Class Editor**.
2. Select the teacher to replace, then click **Assign Contact/Team → Assign Contact**.
3. Search for and select the new teacher, then click **Select**.

#### How do I set up different slot durations for the same teacher (e.g., 15-min and 30-min classes)?

To create two different slot durations for one teacher, you'll list them **twice** in the Class Editor — once per duration.

**Step 1: Add the teacher a second time**

1. Go to **Class Editor**.
2. Click **Add Teacher/Team → Add Teacher**.
3. In the **Select Person** dialog, locate and select the teacher, then click **Select**.

The teacher's name will now appear twice in the Class Editor.

**Step 2: Move one class to the second listing**

1. Select the second listing of the teacher's name.
2. Select the class that needs the different duration (e.g., Kindergarten).
3. Click **Move Class**, and move it to the duplicate listing.

**Step 3: Rename each listing for clarity** Edit each listing's name so you can tell them apart when creating slots — for example:

- `Sue Smith - Kindergarten`
- `Sue Smith - First Grade`

**Step 4: Create separate slot durations** Go to the **Appointments** page. You'll see both listings, and can create slots with different durations for each (e.g., 30 minutes for Kindergarten, 15 minutes for First Grade).

> Since both listings share the same underlying contact, the system prevents double-booking — booking one listing automatically blocks the corresponding time on the other.

#### I imported teachers, but they're not showing up on the Appointments page.

Imported teachers appear in **Contacts** immediately, but they won't appear on the **Appointments** or **Class Editor** pages until a **class has been imported for them**.
