Graduation Project
Deadlines
The dates listed below are department-wide. Anything submitted after the date will receive a zero. Students MUST earn a passing grade (70) on each major component of the process (final research paper, product, portfolio, and presentation to board judges) to graduate.
All students -- with no exceptions -- must submit a formal letter to the Graduation Project Advisory Board requesting an extension on any of the four major components before extra time will be considered. Classroom teachers are NOT responsible for granting extensions. The request for an extension must be made no later than one week before the due date. Careful planning and completion of assignments should eliminate any reason for not being prepared on the due dates.
Please see the calendar on Mrs. Moon's personal page for specific due dates.
