I'm absolutely positive that if you told your mentors your situation, they would be more than happy to tell you to focus on schoolwork first. I propose getting your schoolwork done (at least for the most part) before you start to work. On my team, we have a mandatory homework hour where you have to work on something school related. If not, then you read. This seems to be able to keep most student's grades up. Also, we have a rule stating if you have a D or lower, you can't go to competition (which is a great motivator).
