All of those are Zoom meetings, so it’s easy to schedule those on a little calendar I have in my room. Some of those extracurriculars that I have to balance after school consist of some teen advisory boards I’m on, as well some clubs at school that I’m in. With school, it’s on Zoom, so I do that in the first half of the day and then after school that’s usually when I have my extracurriculars. I’ve found that with remote learning, it’s actually kind of easier to balance everything. Courtesy of Jordan King How do you balance school, work and extracurriculars?

I’m used to being in a classroom and playing with a full orchestra and now we have to record all of our music on WeVideo or some other audio recording app. I play the violin, and that is so hard to do online. My first period of the day that I have on Tuesdays and Thursdays is orchestra. On Tuesdays and Thursday, I have my first four periods, and on Wednesdays and Fridays, I have the last four.
Tuesday through Friday is a block schedule.
