I would say I am the procrastinator queen but I know people who are worse
No way would I be starting on something due the end of Feb this early! REmember, art is her forte-it likely comes easily and quickly to her because its her strength. If you are not artistic(Im not), it probably carries some awe and you feel "if it was me I would need...."
My older two write easily. I was/am the same way. I wrote my college papers the night before or the morning of and still stayed on the Deans List(one prof asked me if I was an English major-maybe I should have been -LOL)
Two of my three are the same-they despised the years when the teacher made them do outlines, etc-each due on different days. And it sure didnt make them adopt that process the next time they wrote a paper!!!They zip them off in a heartbeat
I wouldnt worry until mid February-seriously! If you cant handle that, mid January
hello my name is andy -- you are lucky she is 13.. you must take a stand aganist her now. or it will get so bad you will be in my position today. my son was the same at that age. i figured he would get better when he gets older.. instead he got 10x worse.. you need to stop any friend that is questionable.. like i should have. the problem with me is his mother and i are not together.. so she could not handel him at age 15 and he cane too live with me. i was a little slow in disaplining him at once because i taught he needed some space.. wrong you need to take control at once.. put demands on her.. like i should have.. it just got worse and worse.. he drooped out of school at 16. i told him no school then you have too work.. i gave him jobs in my business that i feel he could handel... he refused to work.. smoking weed like crazy.. i had to run my business so it was hard to track every move... now last night we had a fist fight and i almost snapped his neck.. he thought he was stronger than me. he will continue today.. i do not know what to do anymore.. stop it at 13 and do not wait.. set strong demands...
I’m trying to get my head around your idea that if she doesn’t go to this school, you have not done a good job as a parent. I’m sorry if you feel criticized.
I've thought about the procrastination issue some more, and I have another suggestion. How about if you and she set up some interim deadlines--instead of having the one, big looming deadline in February? If you set up a schedule of sorts, where she will have such-and-such done by Dec. 15th (or whatever) and something else by Jan. 1st, etc....it won't seem so daunting, and if she can procrastinate all she wants w/ those little deadlines. But by the time February rolls around, she'll be in good shape. Just another take on how to break it down into smaller pieces.

How can you say that no one will care what high school or college she went to in 10 or 15 years???

I think it's great that you found a charter school like that, but...let me share with you "our story".
