OVERFLOW STRATEGY
Strategy 1: Additional Session
• Schedule overflow date: {{overflow_date}}
• Open 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
• High-demand teachers only
Strategy 2: Extended Hours
• Add early slots (3:00 PM – 3:30 PM) on primary date
• Extend to 6:30 PM finish
Strategy 3: Virtual Option
• Offer video calls for overflow demand
• 10-minute slots instead of 15
• Link to be sent by email

WAITLIST PROCESS
When all slots are full:
1. Parents are added to automatic waitlist
2. Notification sent: "You are on the waitlist for [Teacher]"
3. When a slot opens, next on waitlist is notified
4. 24-hour window to confirm or release
5. After 24 hours, slot moves to next person
6. If no slots available, offer overflow date
