2. Length of the Homeschool Day

When you come to Homeschool Day, you will spend 2½ hours, in the morning
session OR the afternoon session. You may give us your preference, in the
Comments/Additional Information box on the “checkout page”, when you
register. But since we are trying to even out the number of students
between the morning and afternoon, we may have to reassign a group.

When arriving at the lighthouse on November 6th, please come to the check-in
table under the tent in front of the Gift Shop.

If you are attending the morning session, please arrive by 9:15am , so we
can start letting groups into the lighthouse at 9:45 for the10:00 start.
You will be here until 12:30 / 1:00pm ; then you are free to have lunch and
enjoy the rest of the day (perhaps at the beach). If you are attending the
afternoon session, please arrive by 12:45pm , so we can start letting groups
into the lighthouse at 1:15 for the 1:30 start. You will be here until 4:00
/ 4:30pm .

We are limiting the total number of students for the day to 200. There will
be 100 students in the morning session and 100 students in the afternoon
session.
