Benchmark due dates listed are the FINAL due dates -- the LAST possible day for submitting the assignment.  Teachers or schools may assign earlier due dates due to class variables.  If you miss the due date for a MAJOR assignment (such as the research paper or the project completion due date), you will be required to attend supplemental instruction until you have completed the assignment.  Failure to complete the four components of the Senior Project (paper, project, portfolio, presentation) will result in a non-graduation status.
