Every morning, Carlmont students wake up and start to get ready for their online classes. While some may have a set morning routine, other students barely get out of their bed. Minutes before class starts sharply at 8:30 a.m., they grab their computer from the side of their bed and log onto class without moving. This method of online school has been the norm for many due to the ease of access, rather than putting effort into getting ready for in-person school. Andrew Benet, a sophomore, said, "Sometimes, I've been waking up an hour before class and stay in bed for the next 40-50 minutes right before class starts, laying in bed and setting the alarm right before class starts. It's much easier than when we had in-person school."
Returning to school: the good, the bad, and the ugly
Beginning April 5th of this year, the Sequoia Union High School District gives students the option to select in-person classes or the traditional online Zoom classes as per usual.

![One of the slides presented at the seminar shows how specific hallways will be designated as one-way or 2-way hallways. In most cases, the one-way or one-directional hallway [is used] to minimize the crossing of students, but there are some hallways that are going to be two way, said Greg Patner, the administrative vice principal. You can see some of those arrows are two-way arrows like near the football field, and then theres some that are one-way arrows to help students to navigate successfully around campus.](https://scotscoop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screenshot-2021-03-17-4.14.19-PM-900x506.png)
